Custom Night Guards in Arlington, TX
Stop grinding from wrecking your teeth and waking you up with a sore jaw. Custom-fit, 3D-printed night guards for $299 - far better than anything off the shelf.
A small custom appliance that protects against years of damage.
Bruxism - clenching or grinding your teeth at night - is one of the most common (and most underdiagnosed) causes of tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and broken fillings. A properly-fit night guard is the simplest, most cost-effective fix.
We use intraoral scanning + 3D printing to fabricate a guard that fits precisely to your bite, doesn't shift while you sleep, and lasts years. No more goopy putty trays, no more drugstore one-size-fits-none.
Why patients choose Night Guards.
Protects your enamel
Grinding wears down enamel permanently. A guard absorbs the force so your teeth don't.
Relieves jaw & headache pain
Many morning headaches and TMJ symptoms resolve within weeks of consistent guard use.
Custom-fit, comfortable
3D printed from your scan - fits like a thin, comfortable mouthpiece, not a bulky tray.
Saves expensive work
Cracked crowns, broken fillings, fractured teeth - grinding causes all of them. Prevention is much cheaper.
$299 - custom 3D-printed night guard
Includes the digital scan, fabrication, and fitting visit. For uninsured patients. Insurance often covers a portion - call us for a benefits-verified quote.
What you're actually getting.
Medical-grade thermoplastic resin
BPA-free, hypoallergenic, and rigid enough to absorb grinding force without cracking. Same material category used in clear aligners.
Digitally scanned, micron-level precision
Intraoral scanner builds a digital model of your bite - the guard is fabricated from that exact data, so the fit is identical to your teeth.
3-5 year typical lifespan
With proper cleaning and storage. Heavy grinders may need replacement sooner; we'll let you know at your check-ups.
What Is Night Guards?
A night guard is a custom-fitted dental device worn during sleep to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. Untreated grinding can crack teeth, wear down enamel, cause jaw pain, and trigger headaches.

Night Guards FAQs
Will a night guard stop my snoring?
A standard night guard is for grinding, not snoring. Snoring requires a sleep-apnea evaluation and a different appliance.
How long does a night guard last?
A well-cared-for guard lasts 3–5 years. Heavy grinders may wear through faster.
How do I clean it?
Brush with a soft toothbrush and cool water daily. Soak weekly in denture cleaner. Never use hot water — it warps the material.
Can I get a guard the same day?
No. We take a digital scan, design the guard, print it, and deliver at a follow-up visit — usually within 1–2 weeks.

Night Guards questions, answered.
Tap a question to expand the answer.
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Common signs: morning jaw soreness, headaches when you wake up, worn-down or chipped front teeth, a partner who hears you grinding at night, or a dentist noting wear patterns at your check-up.
Why not just buy one at the drugstore?
Boil-and-bite guards are universally fit, often bulky, and tend to slip out at night - which makes them ineffective. A custom guard fits exactly to your bite, stays in place, and lasts 3-5 years instead of a few months.
How long does it take to make?
About a week from scan to fitting. The intraoral scan takes 5 minutes; fabrication is the bulk of the time.
Will my insurance cover it?
Many PPO plans cover a portion of a custom occlusal guard. The $299 price is for uninsured patients - call us and we'll verify your benefits before you commit.
How do I clean and store it?
Brush it daily with a soft toothbrush and water (no toothpaste - too abrasive). Store dry in the case we provide. We'll go through care at your fitting visit.
