Protect Your Smile from Night Grinding and Clenching

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you might be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep—a condition known as bruxism. At East Van Family Dental, we provide custom-fit bite guards that offer reliable protection and relief.

What Are Bite Guards?

Bite guards, also known as night guards or occlusal splints, are specially designed oral appliances worn while you sleep. They create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure and friction caused by grinding or clenching. Unlike over-the-counter options, our bite guards are custom-made to fit your mouth precisely, ensuring both comfort and effectiveness.

Why You Might Need One

Bruxism is more common than many people realize and often goes unnoticed until it causes real damage. Over time, teeth grinding can lead to:

• Enamel wear and tooth sensitivity 
• Cracks or chips in the teeth 
• Jaw pain or stiffness (TMJ disorders) 
• Frequent headaches or facial discomfort 
• Disrupted sleep patterns 

A custom bite guard helps protect your teeth and jaw from these damaging effects, while also promoting better sleep and long-term oral health.

Custom Fit, Maximum Comfort

At East Van Family Dental, we take a mold of your mouth to create a bite guard that fits perfectly. A proper fit is essential—not just for comfort, but to ensure your guard stays in place and provides the right level of protection throughout the night. Our guards are made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand nighttime grinding without feeling bulky or intrusive.

Your Long-Term Oral Health Partner

Wearing a bite guard is a simple but powerful way to protect your teeth and jaw. Our team will walk you through the process, answer any questions, and make sure your bite guard fits just right. We’ll also monitor your symptoms and make adjustments as needed over time.

If you suspect you’re grinding your teeth or have been told you clench at night, don’t wait for the damage to add up. A custom bite guard can make all the difference in your comfort, sleep quality, and long-term oral health.
