Custom Nightguards in Jonesboro, AR

How do I know if I have bruxism?

Teeth grinding often occurs at night, so patients are not necessarily aware they have it. Common signs can include waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or dental soreness. You might also notice chipped or worn teeth and tight jaw muscles. During your routine dental exams, we can check for signs of grinding and help determine if a nightguard or other treatment is needed to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort.

What are the benefits of custom nightguards?

Custom nightguards are made to fit your teeth precisely, offering better comfort and protection than store-bought options. They help reduce tooth wear, relieve jaw tension, and prevent headaches caused by grinding and/or clenching. Because they’re designed just for you, custom nightguards stay in place better and are easier to wear while you sleep. They’re an effective way to protect your smile and support long-term oral health.

Are custom nightguards worth it?

Custom nightguards are worth the investment for patients who consistently grind or clench their teeth. They help prevent serious damage like chipped teeth, enamel wear, and jaw pain, which can lead to more costly dental problems over time. Because they’re professionally made to fit your bite, they’re more comfortable and last longer than over-the-counter options. Protecting your smile now can save you time, discomfort, and money in the future!

Are custom nightguards expensive?

Custom nightguards are more of an investment than store-bought ones, but they offer greater comfort, durability, and protection. Some dental insurance plans may help cover the cost, and our practice offers financing options to help make preventive services like custom oral appliances affordable and budget-friendly. We’ll provide a clear estimate and discuss payment options during your visit to help make your care affordable.
