Night Guards

Night Guards Dentist Grandville MI

A night guard is an oral appliance you wear while you sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism). Many patients who grind their teeth may not even be aware they’re doing it until it’s brought up by their partner.

Our dentists in Grandville, MI, may also notice signs of teeth grinding, such as worn tooth enamel.

What to Expect

During your first visit with us, one of our dentists will examine your teeth for signs of bruxism. If we determine a night guard would help, we’ll then take digital impressions of your teeth to send to the lab.
