Night Guards/Occlusal Guards | Central City Dentistry, Concord, NH

What are Night Guards and Occlusal Guards?

Night guards and occlusal guards are protective devices designed to safeguard your teeth against the effects of grinding (bruxism) and clenching, which can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and other dental issues. At Central City Dentistry, we provide custom-made guards that fit comfortably and securely, helping to reduce damage and protect the integrity of your teeth while you sleep. These guards act as a barrier, absorbing the pressure and protecting both teeth and jaw muscles.
