Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity? You may be suffering from bruxism (grinding) or TMJ disorder. At Dental Arts, we offer digitally designed, lab-fabricated Night Guards in Toronto that protect your teeth and reduce discomfort while you sleep.
We proudly serve patients from Bedford Park, Lawrence Park, North Toronto, Forest Hill, Allenby, Lytton Park, and the Toronto Downtown Core, including South Etobicoke with expertly made guards tailored to your unique bite and needs.
What Is a Night Guard?
A night guard (also known as an occlusal guard) is a custom-fitted dental appliance worn during sleep to:
- Prevent tooth wear
- Relieve TMJ-related jaw pain
- Reduce clenching and grinding
- Protect dental restorations
- Improve sleep quality
Types of Night Guards We Offer
At Dental Arts, we currently offer:
- Hard night guards ideal for heavy grinders or patients with moderate to severe bruxism or TMJ dysfunction
These guards provide strong resistance, high durability, and protection for both natural teeth and restorations.
What Materials Are Used?
We fabricate our guards using high-quality thermoplastic materials, which are:
- Comfortable and smooth
- Custom-fitted for maximum retention
- Non-irritating and biocompatible
Digital Design & Lab Fabrication
Using digital intraoral scanning, we capture an exact image of your bite, no messy molds or putty impressions. The design is then sent to a professional external dental lab, where your guard is fabricated for precision and durability.
This ensures a perfect fit that doesn’t shift or cause discomfort.
Cost of a Custom Night Guard in Toronto
A custom-made occlusal guard typically ranges from $400–$600, depending on the complexity of your bite and any customizations.
We’ll provide a clear breakdown at your consultation and help you explore insurance coverage if applicable.
How Long Does It Take?
Once your scan is complete, your night guard will be ready in 2 weeks or more, depending on lab turnaround times.
You’ll return for a fitting, adjustment, and full usage instructions. We’ll make sure it feels just right before you leave.
What Conditions Can Night Guards Help With?
We recommend night guards for patients experiencing:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Jaw pain or TMJ dysfunction
- Morning headaches or facial soreness
- Wear on natural teeth or crowns
- Sleep disruption from clenching
These issues are often caused by stress, poor bite alignment, or TMJ disorders, and a night guard can significantly reduce their impact.
Who Are Custom Night Guards For?
Night guards are especially beneficial for:
- Adults with stress-related bruxism
- TMJ disorder patients
- Anyone with visible wear on teeth
- Patients with dental implants, crowns, or veneers who want to protect their investment
How Often Should Night Guards Be Replaced?
With proper care, your night guard can last 2–3 years. We recommend periodic evaluations to check for wear, fit, and function especially if your bite changes.
