Night Guards

Do you grind your teeth at night? If so, our dentist and team are happy to provide night guards in Longmont, Colorado. As a completely removable oral appliance, night guards create a barrier between your teeth as you sleep, preventing unnecessary damage or wear. Call Artistic Smiles today at 303-485-8888 for more information and schedule a visit with Dr. Trey Thygerson.

Night guards are usually recommended for patients who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding, at night. Most patients do not realize they suffer from bruxism, which often leads to damaged or sensitive teeth. Our friendly dentist can help diagnose this condition and recommend treatment to help mitigate it, such as a night guard, which is an oral appliance worn at night. If you are unsure if you have bruxism, some symptoms of teeth grinding or clenching include:

Severe soreness in the jaw, face or ear
The muscles in your jaw feeling tired once you wake up
Tension headaches or migraines
Chipped, flat or cracked teeth
Excessively worn tooth enamel
Tongue indentations from your teeth
Tooth sensitivity

Night guards are custom oral appliances that match your bite and fit comfortably over your teeth for a nonintrusive solution while you sleep. They protect your teeth from grinding against each other and help relieve the symptoms experienced by those with bruxism.

If you have been experiencing tooth and jaw discomfort after waking, give our office a call to schedule a consultation with our dentist. We are committed to helping your smile stay healthy and giving you the best possible care.
