Custom Night Guards in Woodbridge

The guard sits between your upper and lower teeth overnight, so the two surfaces don’t meet under pressure. Dentists call it an occlusal splint. Two groups need one. Grinders who slide the jaw side to side, which is the noisy version. Clenchers who hold a silent squeeze and often have no idea they do it.

The Effects of Teeth Grinding

As a result of untreated bruxism, enamel thins and does not grow back, cusps flatten, edges chip, and older crowns and fillings crack early. Your jaw muscles spend the night working instead of resting, so you wake up with a headache.

Our Process for Custom Night Guards at Woodbridge Smile Centre

Consultation

We read the wear pattern on your teeth and check your jaw joint. How you grind determines how we build the guard.

Digital Scan

It takes a few minutes, with no tray and no putty. We still take a conventional impression if your case needs it.

Fitting

We seat the finished guard and check that your bite closes evenly across it. We take down any high spots.

Follow-up

After two weeks of sleeping with it, it’s time for the follow-up visit and the adjustments.

Night Guard Maintenance Tips

Clean Regularly

Rinse it in cool water when you take it out, then brush with a soft brush and mild soap. Toothpaste is abrasive and will scratch the surface.

Allow to Air Dry

Let it fully dry before closing the case. A damp guard in a sealed container picks up odour.

Avoid Heat Exposure

Avoid hot water, dishwasher, and even your car’s dashboard in hot months. Acrylic warps below boiling, and a warped guard no longer fits.

Routine Checks

Bring it to your checkups. Thin spots tell us your grinding has picked up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I were first-time visitors, and we were really impressed.

I came in for a toothache, and the doctor found a very thin crack in my tooth. Since the pain was already getting better, she recommended that we observe it first and only do something if the pain comes back, thoroughly explaining the situation rather than rushing into a procedure/treatment that could unnecessarily damage my natural tooth.

That really stood out to us. Dr. Calotti listened, explained things clearly, and genuinely seemed to care more about the health of my teeth than simply pushing for a procedure. It gave us a lot of confidence and trust in her.

The receptionist was also very helpful, knowledgeable, and had such a welcoming and positive attitude.

Overall, we had a great first experience and feel confident trusting this clinic with our family’s dental care.

The staff is so kind and the receptionist, Nikki, helped me a lot in getting all my files and information sorted. They helped me with all my insurance info (which I was the most concerned about).The doctor and hygienists are so diligent and welcoming.

So overall, the environment is very welcoming and I would recommend Woodbridge Smile Centre to others!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The reception service was excellent and respectful to patients. The doctor was skilled, respectful, and knew exactly what he was doing, unlike other doctors who don't know anything and just experiment on patients. Patients go to the clinic feeling confident about their teeth. I give them 5 stars.

Why Choose Woodbridge Smile Centre for Your Night Guard?

A night guard is a simple appliance that fails in small ways. If it’s too thick, you stop wearing it. If it’s uneven, you wake up sorer than before. At Woodbridge Smile Centre, we:

Look for the cause first. Different causes drive grinding, and the exact cause changes the final product.

Build the guard from your own model. No boil-and-bite trays are found here.

Include the adjustment. We adjust and fine-tune the fit after you have slept in it.

Offer direct billing. Night guards are covered by many Ontario plans and we submit them directly for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are mouth guards?

Mouth guard is the umbrella term for any appliance that covers the teeth. For example, a night guard handles grinding and a sports guard handles impact.

What exactly is teeth grinding?

Clinically it is called bruxism, which refers to repeated clenching or sliding of the jaw outside of chewing. Awake bruxism is usually a stress habit you can catch yourself doing. Sleep bruxism is involuntary and harder on the teeth.

What should I do if my night guard feels uncomfortable?

Bulky for the first week or two is normal, but pain in one specific tooth, your bite feeling off in the morning, or a guard that keeps loosening is not, so call usو and we will adjust it.

How often should I replace my night guard?

From one year to five, depending on how hard you grind. Watch the guard; if you see thin patches or cracks, or if it has a loose fit, it means it is due. We check yours at every recall.

What are sports guards?

A sports guard is a thicker appliance that absorbs a blow and spreads the force away from the front teeth. Custom versions are made from a model of your mouth, so they stay put and let you breathe, which is the usual complaint about the stock ones from a sporting goods store.
