Night Guards in Surrey, BC
Protection while you sleep
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night (bruxism) can wear down enamel, crack fillings, and lead to jaw pain or headaches over time - often without you noticing it's happening. A custom night guard, made from an impression of your own teeth, creates a comfortable barrier between your upper and lower teeth so the pressure of grinding doesn't damage them. It's a small nightly habit that protects against a lot of long-term wear and tear.

Common Questions
Frequently asked.
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Common signs include waking up with a sore jaw or headache, flattened or chipped teeth, or a partner mentioning that you grind your teeth at night. We can also check for wear patterns during your exam.
Are custom night guards better than store-bought ones?
Generally yes - a custom guard is moulded to your exact bite, so it fits securely and comfortably, which makes you more likely to actually wear it consistently.
How long does a night guard last?
With proper care, most night guards last several years, though how heavily you grind and how well you maintain it both affect its lifespan.
Is a night guard covered by insurance?
Many dental plans offer partial coverage for night guards, especially when grinding is documented. We can check your specific benefits.
