Dental Guards

Dental Guards in Beaverton, OR

Do you wake up with jaw soreness, frequent headaches, or notice your teeth becoming worn over time? At Prestige Family Dentistry, we provide dental guards to help protect your teeth from the effects of clenching and grinding. If you’ve been searching for a mouth guard near me, we’ll take a close look at your teeth, bite, and jaw before discussing whether a custom dental guard is the right solution for your smile.

How Can a Dental Guard Help?

A custom dental guard in Beaverton, OR, helps separate your upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure created by clenching and grinding (bruxism). It can also help protect your teeth and existing restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and fillings.

Unlike store-bought mouth guards, a custom dental guard is made specifically for your smile. The precise fit provides greater comfort, stays securely in place, and offers more reliable protection while you sleep or whenever your dentist recommends wearing it.

Is a Dental Guard Right for You?

Many people aren’t aware they’re doing it until they begin experiencing symptoms or notice changes in their teeth.

You may benefit from a custom dental guard if you:

  • Wake up with jaw soreness or facial muscle fatigue
  • Experience frequent morning headaches
  • Notice flattened, chipped, or worn teeth
  • Have unexplained tooth sensitivity
  • Experience jaw tightness, clicking, or discomfort

Your bite, symptoms, and overall oral health all help determine whether a custom dental guard is the most appropriate option for your needs.

What Happens During the Dental Guard Process?

We’ll begin by evaluating your teeth, bite, and jaw to better understand what’s contributing to your symptoms. If a custom dental guard is the right option, we’ll use digital intraoral scans to create an accurate model of your teeth for a precise, comfortable fit.

Once your dental guard is ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment. We’ll check that it fits properly, make any adjustments if needed, and make sure it feels comfortable during everyday use. Before you leave, you’ll receive instructions on wearing, cleaning, and caring for your dental guard so it continues to fit comfortably and protect your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom dental guard typically last?

The lifespan of a custom dental guard depends on how often it's worn, the amount of clenching or grinding, and how well it's cared for. With proper maintenance, many custom dental guards last for several years.

How should I clean and store my dental guard?

To keep your dental guard clean, rinse it with cool water after each use and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush or use a recommended dental appliance cleaner. Store it in its protective case when it's not being worn to help keep it clean and in good condition.

Can children with bruxism benefit from a custom dental guard?

Yes. Some children who grind or clench their teeth may benefit from a custom dental guard for bruxism, particularly if it's causing tooth wear, jaw discomfort, or other symptoms. Because children's mouths continue to develop, we'll monitor the fit and recommend adjustments or replacement as needed.

Can a dental guard help protect crowns, veneers, or fillings?

Yes. A custom mouth protector for teeth grinding can help reduce the pressure placed on both natural teeth and existing dental restorations during clenching or grinding.
