Custom Nightguards for Teeth Protection

Protect your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep.

About the Treatment

A nightguard is a custom-made protective appliance worn while sleeping to reduce damage from teeth grinding and clenching. We take digital scans to create a guard that fits comfortably and protects your teeth, restorations, and jaw joints.

Nightguards can help reduce tooth wear, fractures, headaches, and jaw tension. They are highly effective but require consistent use and occasional replacement over time as they wear.

Store-bought guards are an alternative but are usually less comfortable and less precise in protection. After care is simple — clean the guard daily with a toothbrush and mild soap, rinse well, and store it dry in its case away from heat.

Key Benefits

Benefits & Why It Works

  • Absorbs pressure from grinding

  • Reduces strain on jaw joints

  • Prevents enamel wear and cracks

  • Protects existing fillings and crowns

  • Minimises morning headaches

Nightguards work by creating a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure and preventing long-term structural damage.

I had terrible experiences with dentists growing up, so as an adult I only go to dentists under duress. Tried 4 dentists and I finally struck gold with Dr Asa and his team! Now I have no issues going for my yearly check, I also am going through Angel aligners treatment because it's actually more affordable ($4,000 k cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere). Dr Asa is super gentle and explains things well, his assistants must be telepaths because they always know what's needed, and Hola at reception is a lean mean efficient machine 💪 Oh and he has Netflix on the ceiling for distraction 😆 highly recommend if you're a wimp like me.

I hate going to the dentist! Dentist Roy was gentle and did a great job on 2 fillings, I couldn't feel my face so it was great that they said come back tomorrow for adjustment if my bite wasn't right. Its great they said that without me having to ask. 10/10.

I’ve been to a couple of dentists but this one is the best! Great staff who took care of my needs. The principal dentist Mr Asa Vete took the time to listen to my worries and explained my options. Much appreciated! Thank you and highly recommend.

I was feeling so nervous and embarrassed about my teeth after pregnancy and Dr Asa was so caring and understanding. I felt super validated and we have made a plan to fix my teeth in a way that works both financially and time wise for me. Thanks team!

Made my first visit back to the dentist after 10 years. Full mouth check up explained clearly, needed a root canal but the team made sure I was comfortable. Puts YOU first before money. Such a great team!
