Night Guards in West San Jose

If you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or sore teeth, you may be grinding your teeth at night without realizing it. A custom night guard protects your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism — and often resolves associated headaches and jaw tension.

Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) affects up to 10% of adults and often happens during sleep. Over time, grinding can wear down enamel, crack teeth, damage existing restorations, and contribute to TMJ disorder. A custom-fitted night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth.
