Custom Night Guards

Protect Your Smile While You Sleep

Do you wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night—a condition known as bruxism. Over time, this unconscious habit can cause serious damage to your teeth, wearing down the enamel, causing cracks and chips, and leading to chronic jaw pain. At West Harbour Dental, we offer custom-fitted night guards designed to protect your teeth and relieve the symptoms of bruxism, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.

We provide fast, convenient service for patients throughout West Harbour, Massey, and Hobsonville, with many of our night guards ready in just 1-2 days. Let us help you protect your smile while you sleep.

The Problem: The Hidden Damage of Teeth Grinding

Bruxism is incredibly common, and many people don’t even realise they’re doing it. You might grind or clench your teeth during sleep due to stress, anxiety, or an abnormal bite. Over time, this constant pressure can wear down your tooth enamel, flatten the chewing surfaces, and cause cracks or fractures. You may experience increased tooth sensitivity, especially to hot and cold. The strain on your jaw muscles can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, causing headaches, earaches, and difficulty opening your mouth.

Without protection, the damage from bruxism can be extensive and expensive to repair, requiring crowns, fillings, or even root canal treatment. You might have tried a generic, over-the-counter night guard from the pharmacy, only to find it uncomfortable, bulky, and ineffective. You need a solution that is custom-made for your mouth, comfortable to wear, and truly protective.

The Solution: Custom-Fitted Night Guards for Maximum Protection

At West Harbour Dental, we create custom night guards that are precisely fitted to your teeth, providing superior comfort and protection. Unlike generic, one-size-fits-all guards, our custom guards are made from digital impressions of your mouth, ensuring a perfect fit that won’t slip or cause gagging.

1. Soft-in-Hard Clearsplint

This is our premium night guard option. It features a soft inner layer for comfort against your teeth and a hard outer layer for maximum durability and protection. The clearsplint is designed to absorb and distribute the forces of grinding, protecting your teeth from wear and damage. It is ideal for moderate to severe bruxism.

2. Retainer-Type Night Guard

This is a more lightweight and affordable option, similar in design to an orthodontic retainer. It is made from a durable, clear plastic and is particularly suitable for mild to moderate grinding. The retainer-type guard is comfortable, discreet, and effective at preventing tooth-to-tooth contact.

Fast Turnaround

We understand that once you’ve decided to protect your teeth, you don’t want to wait. Many of our night guards can be fabricated in-house and ready for you in just 1-2 days, so you can start protecting your smile almost immediately.
