Bruxism is not only annoying, it can lead to headaches, low productivity, and significantly impact your teeth over time. Many people grind or clench their teeth at night without even realizing it, causing wear on enamel, jaw pain, and even broken or sensitive teeth. At My Dentist of Port St. Lucie, we offer custom-made night guards that provide a simple, effective solution to protect your smile while you sleep.
We don’t want to only help you improve your smile and oral health, we want to help you have a better life. By addressing nighttime grinding and clenching, we’re helping you avoid long-term dental problems, reduce daily discomfort, and sleep more peacefully.
A night guard is a removable oral appliance that goes over your teeth and creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower jaws. Worn while you sleep, it helps reduce the pressure and friction caused by involuntary grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism.
Unlike store-bought guards, a custom-fitted night guard is specifically made for your bite, offering better comfort, durability, and protection.
Bruxism can be hard to detect on your own, especially if it happens while you sleep. Here are some common signs you may need a night guard:

We’ll start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your specific needs. Based on your lifestyle and symptoms, we’ll recommend the best treatment for you.
Next, we take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a mouth guard that fits securely and comfortably. A custom fit means better protection, better comfort, and better results.
Your mouth guard is made using durable, professional-grade materials to ensure long-lasting wear and optimal performance.
Once your mouth guard is ready, you’ll come to our office for a fitting. We’ll make sure it fits just right and make any necessary adjustments so you leave with a guard that feels natural and secure.
It’s time to sleep better, improve your life, and protect your teeth from bruxism. A custom night guard can relieve the pressure of grinding and clenching, ease jaw pain, and help you wake up feeling rested and refreshed.
