Why Choose Beam Dental

Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Edgewater, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is an incredibly common condition that affects a significant portion of adults during sleep. Even if the grinding does not cause immediate pain, it can lead to long-term damage such as worn-down enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and even fractures. Many patients also experience secondary symptoms like headaches and sore jaw muscles.

At our Edgewater office, custom nightguards offer a professional solution to protect your smile. These dental appliances are specifically designed to fit the unique contours of your teeth, providing a comfortable barrier that prevents them from grinding against each other while you sleep. Unlike generic over-the-counter options, our custom-made guards ensure an exact fit and use high-quality materials like hard acrylic or silicone to provide the best possible protection based on the severity of your grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to clean and care for my nightguard?

You should rinse your nightguard immediately after use and clean it regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. It is also important to let it air dry completely and store it in a ventilated case to maintain hygiene.

How long will my custom nightguard last?

With proper care, a custom-fit nightguard can last for several years. Its lifespan depends on the severity of your grinding and the durability of the materials used in its construction.

How can a custom nightguard help with my jaw pain?

By cushioning the teeth, the nightguard helps relieve the tension in your jaw muscles, which can significantly reduce the frequency of headaches and facial soreness associated with bruxism.

What is the primary purpose of a nightguard?

A nightguard is a removable device that creates a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent contact and absorb the pressure caused by clenching and grinding.
