Custom Mouthguards in Dubbo

Do you often wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth? If yes, you might grind your teeth at night without realising it. Delroy Park Dental Care offers custom nightguards to protect your smile and improve your oral health.

What Are Nightguards and Why Might You Need One?

Nightguards, or dental splints, are protective devices worn over your teeth while you sleep. They create a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. You might benefit from a nightguard if you experience worn or chipped teeth, jaw pain, frequent headaches, tooth sensitivity, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Invest in Your Oral Health

Custom nightguards are an investment in your long-term oral health. While they may cost more initially than store-bought alternatives, their superior quality and effectiveness make them a wise choice. We offer various payment options, including payment plans and potential insurance coverage, to make this important treatment accessible.

Custom Nightguards: The Superior Choice

While over-the-counter options exist, custom-made nightguards offer significant advantages. They provide a perfect fit tailored to your unique dental structure, ensuring maximum comfort and protection. Made from high-quality materials, custom nightguards are more durable and effective at preventing damage from grinding and clenching.

What Does the Process Involve?

Getting your custom nightguard is simple. We take precise dental impressions, which our dental lab uses to craft your personalised nightguard. Once ready, we ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments for your comfort.

Caring for Your Nightguard

To maintain your nightguard’s effectiveness and hygiene, rinse it thoroughly before and after each use, brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, and store it in a clean, dry container when not in use. Remember to bring it to your regular dental checkups for professional cleaning and inspection.
