Waking up with sensitive teeth, flattened edges, or a clicking jaw usually means you grind at night, and it only gets worse over time. We assess your teeth and fit a night guard that absorbs the grinding force. You get less wear on your enamel, less jaw soreness, a lower risk of cracked teeth, and a clear check on how your teeth are holding up.
We examine your teeth, jaw, and bite for signs of grinding or clenching. Worn teeth, jaw pain, and morning headaches tell us a lot. You get a clear answer on whether you need a night guard.
Not every night guard suits every person. We pick soft, hard, or dual-layer based on how heavily you grind, your comfort, and your budget, so your guard actually works and you actually wear it.
We take an accurate impression of your teeth using a quick, comfortable scan or mould. A precise copy of your bite is what makes the guard fit snugly and feel natural from the very first night.
Your guard is made in a dental lab from your own impression, using strong, medical-grade material. It is thin, durable, and shaped only for your mouth, nothing like the loose, bulky guards sold in shops.
When your guard is ready, we try it on, check your bite, and fine-tune any tight or uneven spots. We also show you how to wear it, so it feels comfortable and stays in place all night.
We teach you simple ways to clean, store, and look after your night guard so it stays fresh and lasts longer. A few easy daily habits keep bacteria away and protect your guard from damage.
We check how your guard is working at regular visits. We look at your teeth, jaw comfort, and the guard's fit, so any problem is caught early and your treatment keeps working for you.
If your guard wears thin, cracks, or stops fitting well, we repair or replace it. A worn guard cannot protect you properly, so we keep your teeth covered for as long as you need.

Custom guards are made from impressions or scans, fit best and are the most comfortable for long use. Shop-bought guards, including boil-and-bite types, cost less but may fit poorly and wear faster. Some guards combine a soft inner layer with a hard outer layer for stronger grinders. Your dentist advises which type suits your bite.
Common signs include waking with a sore jaw or headache, worn or flat teeth, chipped or cracked edges and extra tooth sensitivity. Some people click their jaw, or a partner hears the grinding. Grinding can also strain the jaw joint. A dentist can look for these signs and confirm the cause.
Rinse the guard every morning and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Do not use hot water or harsh, scratchy cleaners. Let it dry in a ventilated case, and keep it away from heat and pets. Bring it to checkups so the dentist can check the fit and wear.
There is no fixed lifespan. How long a guard lasts depends on the material, how hard you grind and how well you care for it. Heavy grinders may wear through a guard faster. Signs it needs replacing include cracks, holes, thin spots or a loose fit. Regular checkups help you replace it in time.
Not exactly. A night guard cannot stop the grinding habit itself, but it protects your teeth from wear, chips and cracks by creating a cushion between them. Reducing stress, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and treating the cause can also help.
The cost depends on the type of guard and the materials used. A custom guard is made from accurate impressions of your teeth. After your exam you receive a clear, itemised plan with no hidden costs, and flexible payment options are available. Your dentist will give a quote after the exam.
Most people adjust in one to two weeks. It may feel bulky at first, with extra saliva or a slight gag feeling. Start by wearing it for a short time before bed. If it feels tight, painful or interferes with breathing, ask your dentist to adjust it.
After a teeth grinding check-up, your dentist chooses the right type, takes accurate impressions, and makes a custom guard. You return for a fitting and comfort adjustment, plus cleaning and care guidance.
It may help if the pain is related to grinding or clenching, by easing muscle strain and protecting teeth. Evidence that guards relieve jaw pain is limited, so they are usually part of a wider plan with self-care. Your dentist will advise after examining your jaw.
Yes. If your guard cracks, wears thin or no longer fits, we offer repair and replacement. Regular follow-up visits help catch wear early so your teeth stay protected.
Many children grind their teeth during sleep, and most outgrow it. A guard is rarely needed for baby teeth. Your dentist may suggest one if the grinding causes pain, tooth damage or jaw problems. Ask a dentist before buying any device for a child.
A custom-made guard fits better and is more comfortable than shop-bought ones. Your care includes a grinding check-up, fitting, aftercare guidance and follow-ups, led by Dr. Aimen Zia.
