NIGHT GUARDS DENTISTRY IN MCKINNEY, TX

Best Dentist McKinney

WHAT IS A NIGHT GUARD?

A night guard is a protective plastic tray that fits around your teeth and gums like a retainer. Also referred to as occlusal guards or mouthguards, they can be worn while you sleep at night or during the day when engaging in activities that could cause oral injury.

Wearing a mouthguard can prevent injury and damage to your gums, teeth, and jaw due to bruxism and dental trauma, as well as reduce pain associated with TMJ. Contact us at Experience Dental today to schedule an appointment with your dentist in McKinney, TX. Our office is located at 7001 S. Custer Road, Suite 200, McKinney, TX, 75070.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR PREVENTIVE DENTAL APPOINTMENT

CONSULTATION

 First, you’ll come in for a consultation with your McKinney Dentist, who will perform an oral exam and possibly take some x-rays to look for signs of damage to the teeth and jaw. Dr. Lee will determine if a mouthguard is the best method of treatment for you.

IMPRESSIONS

If you’re considered a good candidate for a mouthguard, impressions will be taken of your teeth and sent to a dental lab so they can create a custom-fit mouthguard that conforms to your bite and fits snugly over your teeth and gums.

GUARD FABRICATION

It will take a few weeks for your thermoplastic night guard to be fabricated.

PICK-UP & FOLLOW UPS

Once your night guard is ready, you’ll return for a second appointment to check the fit and make any final adjustments.

DID YOU KNOW…

You should always brush and floss your teeth before putting your mouthguard in.
