Night guards are essential dental appliances designed to protect your teeth from the adverse effects of teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. In Summerlin, patients can benefit from custom-fitted night guards that provide a comfortable and effective solution to prevent damage to their teeth and alleviate jaw pain.

Why Should I Get A Night Guard?
Teeth grinding is a common problem that can lead to serious dental and health issues if left untreated. Night guards serve as a protective barrier, absorbing the pressure and friction caused by grinding, thus preventing damage to your teeth and jaw.
Wearing a night guard can also help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, jaw pain, and disrupted sleep patterns, contributing to an overall improvement in your quality of life. Investing in a night guard can save you from costly dental repairs in the future and ensure that your smile remains healthy and beautiful.

The Benefits Of Night Guards
Prevents Dental Damage
Night guards effectively absorb the pressure from teeth grinding, preventing chips, cracks, and excessive wear on your teeth. This protection helps maintain the structural integrity of your teeth, avoiding costly dental restorations.
Reduces Jaw Pain
By cushioning the impact of grinding, night guards can alleviate tension in the jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort. This relief can lead to a more relaxed jaw and a better night's sleep.
Improves Sleep Quality
Night guards minimize the noise for your sleeping partner and eliminate any disruptions caused by teeth grinding. This promotes a more peaceful sleep environment. This improvement in sleep quality can enhance your overall well-being and daily performance.
The Night Guard Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Cameron Hyer at Hyer Quality Dental. During this appointment, Dr. Hyer will assess your dental health and discuss your symptoms related to teeth grinding. This evaluation helps determine if a night guard is the right solution for you. He will also explain the benefits of using a custom-fitted night guard and answer any questions you may have about the treatment.
Custom Fitting
Once the decision is made to proceed with a night guard, the next step involves taking precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are crucial for creating a night guard that fits comfortably and securely. The molds are sent to a specialized dental lab where your custom night guard is crafted using high-quality materials. This ensures that the guard is tailored to your unique dental structure, providing optimal protection and comfort.
Fitting and Adjustment
After your custom night guard is ready, you'll return to Hyer Quality Dental for a fitting session. Dr. Hyer will ensure that the night guard fits perfectly and comfortably over your teeth. He will make any necessary adjustments to guarantee a snug fit that won't slip during the night.
