Yes, a custom night guard can help protect dental restorations, including crowns and veneers, from some of the excessive pressure and wear associated with nighttime grinding and clenching. While a night guard can't prevent every type of damage, it can provide an added layer of protection.
At Tend Dental in Manhattan, our dentists can assess your existing dental work and recommend a night guard designed around your bite and restorative needs.
Yes, if your current night guard is cracked, worn, or no longer fits comfortably, a replacement may be necessary to keep your teeth protected. Night guards can gradually wear down, especially if you grind your teeth heavily.
At Tend Dental in Manhattan, our team can evaluate your existing appliance and determine whether it needs to be adjusted or replaced with a new custom night guard.
A night guard may help reduce further tooth wear caused by nighttime grinding, which can contribute to sensitivity when protective enamel becomes damaged. However, tooth sensitivity can have several causes, and a night guard won't necessarily resolve existing symptoms.
If you're experiencing sensitive teeth or suspect you grind your teeth at night, your Tend dentist in Manhattan can evaluate your oral health and recommend appropriate treatment options.
A custom night guard may feel unfamiliar at first, but many people adjust to wearing one as part of their nighttime routine. Because dentist-made night guards are designed for your individual teeth and bite, they often provide a more comfortable fit than generic alternatives.
Your Tend dentist in Manhattan can help ensure your night guard fits properly and address any discomfort or fit issues you experience.
Your night guard experience typically begins with a dental exam where our team will evaluate your teeth, bite, and any symptoms of grinding or clenching. If a custom night guard is recommended, your dentist will take impressions or digital scans to help create an appliance tailored to your mouth.
Once your night guard is ready, your Tend dentist can check the fit, explain how to wear it, and provide care instructions to help you keep it in good condition.
You can get a custom night guard at participating Tend Dental studios in Manhattan, NY. Our dentists evaluate your teeth, bite, and symptoms to determine whether a night guard could help protect your smile from grinding and clenching.
