Custom vs. Store-Bought Night Guards

Store-bought night guards are bulky, uncomfortable, and do not fit properly — many patients stop wearing them within a week. A custom night guard from our office is made from impressions of your teeth for a precise, comfortable fit. It is thinner, more durable, and far more effective.

The Night Guard Process

Getting a custom night guard takes two visits. At the first visit, we take impressions of your teeth. The impressions are sent to a dental lab where your guard is fabricated. At the second visit, we fit the guard and make any adjustments needed. Most patients find their custom guard comfortable from the first night.

Insurance & Cost

Many dental insurance plans cover custom night guards when bruxism is diagnosed. We accept Florida Medicaid and most major PPO dental insurance plans. We will verify your benefits before treatment.
