What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are oral appliances designed to protect the teeth and jaw from the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), which often occurs during sleep. They can also help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) by reducing strain on the jaw muscles and joints. At Suite 905, we provide custom night guards made from high-quality materials using advanced dental imaging and 3D oral impressions to create a comfortable fit while you sleep. If you find yourself struggling with eroded teeth or jaw pain after you wake up, you might be suffering from bruxism without even realizing it. Schedule an exam and consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa at our practice in New York, NY to learn more about bruxism and whether or not a custom night guard can help you experience relief from jaw pain and a more restful sleep.
How Do Night Guards for Bruxism Work?
The treatment process begins with a thorough exam at our New York, NY office where we'll visually inspect the mouth and take digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions will be sent to a dental lab, which will fabricate your custom night guard. Once the appliance is ready, we'll have you return for a fitting appointment so we can ensure the guard fits comfortably and securely. Before you leave, we'll discuss proper use and care, including instructions for cleaning your night guard and what to do if it starts breaking down. You'll need to wear the night guard each night to prevent teeth grinding and jaw strain. We may also ask you to bring your night guard with you for cleanings and exams so we can check for wear and tear.
What Are the Benefits of Night Guards?
Bruxism is a very common problem, but it doesn't have to be an ongoing issue in your life. With a custom night guard, you can prevent clenching and grinding each night, safeguarding your teeth from damage and relieving uncomfortable symptoms, like headaches or jaw tension. Some of the benefits of using a custom night guard include:
- Protects teeth from grinding damage, preventing enamel wear and fractures
- Reduces jaw pain and tension, easing strain from clenching
- Prevents headaches and facial soreness caused by muscle overuse
- Minimizes TMJ discomfort, promoting better jaw alignment
- Improves sleep quality by reducing nighttime grinding noises
- Prevents gum recession linked to excessive grinding pressure
- Extends the lifespan of dental work, protecting crowns, fillings, and veneers
Suite 905 Reviews
One of the best dentist experiences I’ve had. She made me feel so informed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!!
I can’t recommend Dr. Orit Faradjewa enough! She is truly a phenomenal dentist. She is so kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment you walk into her office, you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I had a very complicated crown procedure, and she handled it with such skill and care. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process, and the results were excellent. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality really set her apart. I only have the best things to say about her and her practice. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things!! Wish I could give them ten stars!!
I wish I could give suit 905 more than 5 stars. The care here is unmatched! I felt so comfortable. I don’t even know where to start with the positives! Book an appointment! You won’t regret it!!
The doctor took her time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend this dental office to anybody who is looking for a dentist in midtown Manhattan.
