The Process
To create customized night guards, your dental specialist will take an impression of your teeth. The impression is transferred to a plaster mold and is sent directly to a lab for fabrication.

Your night guard is composed of laminate or hard acrylic material that will fit comfortably to your mouth. After the guard is complete, we will bring you in a fitting. Once adjustments have been made, you can use the night guard right before you go to sleep!
