Dental Guard | Marlton Dentistry

Your smile is one of your greatest assets, and protecting it should always be a priority—especially if you grind your teeth, play contact sports, or suffer from jaw pain. At Prime Dental Center, we understand that prevention is just as important as treatment. That’s why we offer custom-made dental guards tailored to your unique needs, helping you safeguard your teeth and maintain optimal oral health. What Is a Dental Guard? A Dental Guard, also known as a mouthguard or night guard, is a removable device worn over your teeth to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, or sports-related injuries. While over-the-counter options exist, they rarely offer the comfort, durability, or protection of a custom-fit dental guard made by your dentist. Why Choose a Dental Guard? Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth at night until symptoms start to show—like jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth. Left untreated, this habit can lead to broken teeth, enamel erosion, and even TMJ disorders. Others may be at risk during sports, where accidental impacts can cause chipped or knocked-out teeth.
