Mouthguards

Keep Your Smile Safe

Safeguard Your Smile While You Sleep With Mouthguards in Glendale

Damaging your smile can be expensive and painful. If you grind your teeth, you may chip, crack, or even loosen teeth. You may have already tried products from the store, but those don't offer the quality protection your mouth needs.

Our mouthguards in Glendale, AZ, will last longer than store-bought products. Our appliance also offers better protection from teeth grinding, reduces discomfort and pain, and stays in place while you sleep. Guard your teeth from grinding by coming to Glendale Gentle Dentistry.

Reduce TMJ Stress & Grinding

You may grind your teeth due to stress or anxiety, a TMJ disorder, or a misaligned bite. Dr. Stanfield can create a custom-fit nightguard that will act as a barrier between your teeth to protect your smile from further damage.

During your appointment, he will get impressions of your teeth and send this information to a lab that will create your night guard. You'll wear this custom-fit mouthguard while you sleep.

Our appliances are more durable than the boil-and-bite guards you can buy in stores. Since it's made with BPA-free hard plastic, this product can last for years.

He'll also examine your mouth to address any harm caused by your teeth grinding.

Address Damage With Targeted Care

If needed, Dr. Stanfield may suggest restorative treatments or cosmetic services, depending on the severity of the damage. You may need tooth fillings, bonding or veneers to fix chips or cracks, or crowns.

If you are dealing with alignment issues, Dr. Stanfield may recommend our ClearCorrect orthodontic treatment to discreetly and comfortably straighten your teeth. Over time, you'll see improvements in your teeth alignment.

In many cases, you'll grind your teeth less because you have alleviated the stress on your TMJ (temporomandibular joint). Although it can take up to 18 months to see improvement, it'll be worth it to get out of pain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mouthguards

Can mouthguards help with TMJ problems?
Yes, and in fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Because these oral devices fit over your upper and lower teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reduce painful symptoms of TMJ disorder, allow the joint to heal naturally, and protect your tooth enamel from damage.
How are mouthguards made?
To make your custom mouthguard, we will first take impressions of your mouth. You won't have to deal with any goop in your mouth, thanks to our digital technology. We'll then use this information to get your new mouthguard custom-crafted. You'll come back into the office when it's ready, and we'll make sure that it fits comfortably and provides the protection it should.
Are mouthguards bad for your teeth?
On the contrary! Mouthguards protect your teeth from damage. If you play sports, an athletic mouthguard prevents injuries such as cracked, broken, and knocked-out teeth. If you grind your teeth, wearing a mouthguard keeps your enamel in great shape. We offer custom mouthguards that provide a superior fit and better protection. You're less likely to need restorative dental care by wearing one.
