Protect Your Smile with Custom Night Guards & Sports Guards in Hollywood
Safeguard Your Teeth from Grinding, Clenching, and Sports Injuries
At Hollywood Dental Care, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth from nighttime grinding (bruxism) and sports-related injuries. That’s why our custom-fitted night guards and sports guards offer maximum protection and comfort, helping you keep your smile healthy and strong.
Why Choose a Custom Night Guard?
Prevent Damage from Grinding and Clenching
Do you wake up with jaw pain or headaches? Or perhaps you notice wear on your teeth? If so, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep, a condition called bruxism. Without treatment, bruxism can lead to tooth fractures, gum recession, and even tooth loss.
Our custom night guards provide a comfortable solution. By creating a barrier between your teeth, they help prevent damage. Unlike store-bought options, our custom night guards fit your mouth specifically, giving you optimal comfort and protection each night.
Benefits of Custom Night Guards:
- Prevent Tooth Damage: Guards protect against grinding and clenching, which reduces the risk of fractures and tooth wear.
- Relieve Jaw Pain: They ease jaw muscle tension, which alleviates pain and discomfort.
- Enhance Sleep Quality: Night guards minimize disturbances from bruxism, so you enjoy a restful sleep.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from high-quality materials, these guards are built for regular use and lasting protection.
