PROTECTION AGAINST BRUXISM

Protection Against Bruxism

At Fuller Smiles Santa Monica, we understand the challenges of bruxism, the unconscious grinding or clenching of the teeth that typically occurs during sleep. Our solution is personalized night guards in Santa Monica, designed to create a protective layer between your teeth, mitigating the effects of grinding and easing jaw tension. By reducing stress on your teeth and jaw, night guards help prevent long-term dental damage and discomfort.

Customized for Your Comfort

Each night guard is precisely made to fit the unique shape of your teeth, providing a snug, comfortable fit that doesn’t hinder your ability to breathe or speak at night. Our custom-fit approach at Fuller Smiles Santa Monica ensures that your night guard offers superior protection compared to generic, store-bought alternatives. With our expertly crafted night guards in Santa Monica, you can enjoy a more restful sleep while safeguarding your teeth from long-term damage.

Advantages That Extend Past Bedtime

Regular use of a night guard can greatly lessen the discomforts linked to bruxism, including morning headaches, jaw soreness, and the gradual wearing down of teeth. Our night guards act as a cushion, safeguarding against the friction that can lead to tooth sensitivity and more complex dental issues down the line. They also contribute to maintaining a stable jaw alignment, which, for some, can result in a reduction of snoring. In addition to night guards, we offer dental crowns to restore damaged teeth and improve overall oral health. Schedule a consultation with us to find the right fit for your needs.

"If I had to choose between paying for my dental services with Dr. Nguyen or receiving free dental care from another provider, I would choose Dr. Nguyen hands down all day long! ... Always, I have felt that she had nothing but the best care and comfort in mind while providing outstanding dental service."
