Night Guards San Ramon CA
Bruxism, or grinding your teeth while you sleep, is a common problem that affects many men and women. Although the most recognizable indicator is deterioration of the surface of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism may also lead to inflammation, headaches, tooth pain, and discomfort in your jaw and neck. To guard your mouth against these effects of bruxism, Dr. Rupam Khanna provides custom night guards that help defend your teeth while you rest. Custom night guards are made with high-quality materials that fit comfortably in your mouth and help improve the quality of your sleep by eliminating jaw clenching and teeth grinding. For more information about custom night guards at San Ramon Family Dental, please schedule an appointment at our San Ramon, CA office.
What Should I Expect with Custom Night Guards?
After Dr. Khanna makes your diagnosis, she will obtain impressions and digital oral x-rays to help create your custom night guard. San Ramon Family Dental will send your specifications to a special dental lab where your specialized night guard will be made out of high-quality materials. After your night guard is complete and returned to us, we will let you know so you can come in for a fitting. Dr. Khanna may make slight adjustments to ensure it fits properly and comfortably. You will also be given directions on caring for your night guard so that it will last many years.
