Custom Night Guards in Murray, Utah
Protect your teeth from grinding and clenching with a custom-fit night guard designed for comfort and relief.
Many people grind or clench their teeth during sleep—often without realizing it. This condition, known as bruxism, can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, cracked teeth, and chronic headaches. At Peak Dental Utah, we provide professionally made night guards that help prevent long-term damage and relieve discomfort.
If you wake up with sore jaws or notice signs of wear on your teeth, a night guard may be the simple, effective solution you need. We serve patients throughout Murray and nearby areas including Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights, and Holladay.
What Is a Night Guard?
A night guard is a custom oral appliance that fits over your teeth to prevent contact between the upper and lower arches while you sleep. This reduces the pressure and friction that come from unconscious grinding or clenching.
Unlike store-bought options, a professionally made night guard is designed to fit your bite exactly. It’s more comfortable, durable, and effective at preventing damage over time.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
- Waking up with jaw tension or headaches
- Noticing flat, worn, or chipped teeth
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Clicking or popping in your jaw joints
- A partner hearing grinding sounds during sleep
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can assess your bite and recommend a solution to protect your oral health and comfort.
Benefits of a Custom Night Guard
- Prevents enamel wear and tooth fractures
- Reduces jaw tension and TMJ-related pain
- Minimizes morning headaches and discomfort
- Helps preserve dental restorations
- Improves sleep quality and oral function
Our night guards are made using digital impressions for a precise fit. The result is a slim, smooth appliance that feels natural to wear and won’t interfere with your sleep.
Bruxism and TMJ: How They’re Connected
Chronic clenching and grinding can contribute to TMJ disorders, which affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. If you’ve been diagnosed with TMJ or suspect you're dealing with jaw tension or pain, a night guard may be part of your treatment plan.
