Night guards for grinding
If you wake up with a sore jaw, you might be grinding your teeth in your sleep. Dr. Steven S. Kim provides custom night guards at our Riverside office. This simple appliance protects your teeth from heavy pressure and helps prevent complex restorations later.
Who needs a night guard
Frequent grinding wears down your enamel. Over time, it can lead to broken teeth or sore jaw muscles. A custom guard cushions your teeth while you sleep, absorbing the force.
Getting your custom fit
Dr. Kim takes an impression of your teeth during your visit. We use this mold to create a guard that fits your mouth exactly. A precise fit stays secure at night and feels much more comfortable than a store-bought version.
Caring for your appliance
You simply brush your night guard with a soft toothbrush and cool water every morning. Bring it with you to your routine checkups. We will check the fit and clean it thoroughly for you.
