Custom-made night guards and sports guards can help protect your teeth from damage sustained while sleeping or during sports. Custom-made dental guards are composed of plastic and are specifically designed to fit the unique shape of your teeth.
These dental guards are commonly suggested for individuals who suffer from teeth grinding, breathing difficulties during sleep, or athletes who wish to prevent mouth injuries and require dental protection.
Custom sports guards are great for anyone engaged in athletic endeavors.
Black Point Dental in Honolulu, HI, offers numerous preventative dentistry options.
Two types of dental guards are commonly used: night guards and sports guards.
Night and sports guards can be customized to fit your needs. Dr. Ferguson will evaluate your case and recommend the best option for you.
Custom-made dental guards offer greater protection and comfort than over-the-counter guards, which are often less effective and less comfortable.
Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, is widespread among children and adults. This condition can cause headaches and pain in the jaw and teeth due to the pressure applied to the teeth while sleeping.
Various treatments are available for bruxism, including stress management, sleep medication, and therapy. The dental approach to treating bruxism focuses on minimizing the harm caused to the mouth and teeth.
Dr. Ferguson will assess your symptoms and recommend a customized dental guard to protect your teeth.
Dental night guards provide a range of benefits for patients, including:
By wearing a dental night guard, patients can protect their teeth from damage caused by bruxism, alleviate associated pain and discomfort, and improve their overall sleep quality.Â
The guard is customized to fit comfortably in the mouth, making it easy to wear overnight.
Customized sports guards offer a range of benefits to athletes, including:
By wearing a customized sports guard, athletes can protect their teeth and jaws from potential injuries during sports without compromising their ability to speak or breathe comfortably.Â
The guard is designed to fit the athlete's mouth perfectly, providing maximum protection and comfort during physical activity. With these benefits, athletes can feel confident and secure while performing at their best.
To get a custom night guard or sports guard, Dr. Ferguson will assess your dental health during a consultation. Impressions of your upper and lower teeth will be taken and sent to a laboratory to create molds for your custom guards.
Dr. Ferguson will adjust the guards to ensure a proper fit once they are ready.
