Custom Night Guards for Bruxism
Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, often occurring during sleep. Over time, this pressure can lead to significant dental issues. Statistics show that over 30% of British people show minor signs of tooth damage due to this problem.
Our custom-made night guards (occlusal splints) act as a protective barrier to:
Reduce Tooth Wear
Prevent excessive wear of your teeth's protective enamel layer and prevent the biting surfaces from becoming flattened.
Protect Restorations
Safeguarding crowns, bridges, and even partial dentures from the heavy forces of nocturnal grinding.
Alleviate Discomfort
Mouthguards help to reduce jaw tension and muscle fatigue associated with clenching.
Sports Mouthguards for Impact Protection
For patients participating in contact sports such as rugby, hockey, or martial arts a store-bought "boil-and-bite" guard often lacks the necessary precision. A custom-fabricated sports guard from our Ipswich practice provides:
- Superior Impact Absorption: Expertly contoured to your unique dental arch to dissipate excessive pressure generated on the teeth due to bruxism.
- Accurate Fit & Comfort: Ensuring the guard stays securely in place, allowing for easier breathing and speech during activity.
- Total Protection: Covering natural teeth and surrounding soft tissues to minimise the risk of tooth loss or lacerations.
The Importance of a Professional Fit
Unlike generic over-the-counter options, our mouthguards are created using high-quality dental impressions of your mouth. This ensures:
- Uniform Thickness: Providing consistent protection across all vulnerable areas.
- Stability: The appliance will not slip or become dislodged during sleep or high-intensity sport.
- Longevity: Made from durable, medical-grade materials designed for long-term use.
Mouthguard Costs in Ipswich
Investing in protection can prevent costly restorative work in the future. At Allen House Dental, custom-made mouthguards are available from £150.00.
Note: As with all clinical appliances, a clinical assessment and dental impressions are required to ensure the guard is appropriate for your oral health. A bespoke treatment plan and final fee will be confirmed during your consultation.
