Evaluate the wear pattern
We check your teeth, bite, and symptoms for signs that grinding or clenching may be contributing.
Protective dentistry
Custom Night Guards
A custom night guard can help protect teeth when clenching or grinding is putting them under extra stress.
What to know
Start with a clear diagnosis and a conversation.
If you grind or clench your teeth, especially during sleep, you may notice wear, soreness, or sensitivity. Skyline can evaluate the pattern and discuss whether a custom dental night guard is appropriate.
What to expect
A straightforward path from concern to next step.
Create a custom fit
When a guard is recommended, it is designed from your teeth so it fits more precisely than a generic appliance.
Check comfort and fit
We explain how to wear and care for the appliance and make adjustments if needed.
Common questions
Questions about night guards?
We can answer questions about your specific situation after an exam.
Is a custom night guard different from one bought at a store?
A custom guard is made for your teeth and bite. Your dentist can also determine whether a guard is appropriate before you begin using one.
Will a night guard stop me from grinding?
A guard is primarily used to protect teeth and manage the effects of grinding or clenching; it does not necessarily stop the habit itself.
