Night Guards in Newton, MA

Overview

The grinding of your teeth at night, also known as bruxism, is an everyday issue that affects many individuals. Although the most recognizable symptom is deterioration of the enamel of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism may also lead to tooth pain, headaches, and inflammation, plus discomfort in your neck and jaw. To guard your mouth against the effects of bruxism, Newton Centre Dental provides customized night guards that help defend your teeth while you rest. Custom night guards are created with high-grade materials that comfortably fit in your mouth and improve the nature of your sleep by eliminating jaw clenching and teeth grinding. If you are interested in learning more about custom night guards, set up a consultation with our dental team at our Newton, MA facility.

Best Candidates

A number of indicators may suggest that you are clenching your jaw and/or grinding your teeth at night. Maybe you frequently wake up in the morning with pain in your jaw, a headache, and facial swelling. Other symptoms are loosened fillings or teeth, chipped enamel on your back teeth, a receding gumline, and tooth sensitivity. Grinding and clenching at night are usually caused by stress, but it can also be brought on by a sleep disorder, misaligned teeth, allergies or temporomandibular joint disorder (called TMD). While our dental team makes your bruxism diagnosis, we will also find out the cause so that your night guard therapy can be coupled with other treatments for the best possible outcomes.

What to Expect

After we make your diagnosis, we will attain oral impressions and digital oral x-rays to help create your custom night guard. Next, we will send these details to the dental laboratory where your specialized night guard will be made from the best materials. After your night guard is complete and sent back to us, we will inform you so you can come in for a fitting. We can make small adjustments so that it fits correctly for optimal comfort. You will also be given directions on how to properly care for your night guard so it will last many years.

Had two of my teeth get fillings done by this office. Dr. Nar and Priya did a super fantastic job on explaining the procedure, prepping me and getting me comfortable, and doing the actual procedure. They made sure I was comfortable during the entire time. The front desk staff were also super helpful and explained the bill to me and reminded me of my next appointment. Overall, super awesome place. They take real good care of you and your teeth.

Dr. Parent has a magic touch—even large procedures like crowns leave me without any discomfort whatsoever. I feel so well taken care of. Thank you, Dr. Parent!!

Great experience with Dr. Nar. Had a temporary crown put in. Very skilled and professional. Then, when it accidentally broke off, rejuggled her schedule to see me the next day to get it replaced. Would highly recommend!!

Follow-Up

For maximum night guard efficiency, you will need to wear it each night. Your night guard should relieve or alleviate the discomfort and dental issues created by bruxism, but if it does not, please call our dental team so we can consider additional issues and try other therapies. In order to help keep your night guard and mouth in good condition, we recommend that you clean and care for both prior to and following each use. Be sure to bring your night guard to all future appointments, exams, and cleanings so we can repair and adjust the guard as needed.

Insurance Coverage

Once you receive a bruxism diagnosis, some of the cost of your night guard should be paid by your insurance company. If you have dental insurance, our team will call your insurance carrier to attain your benefits and costs. At your consult, we will give you information about our accepted payment methods, as well as your costs, with or without insurance. For more affordable dental care, Newton Centre Dental can help you to qualify for medical financing.
