Mouth guards
Custom-fitted dental mouth guards, made from a comfortable digital scan rather than a traditional impression.
Mouth guards for bruxism in Bath
If you grind or clench your teeth, particularly while you're sleeping, a custom-fitted mouth guard can protect them from wear and ease the strain on your jaw.
We use a digital scanner rather than traditional impressions (which some patients consider uncomfortable and messy), so fitting is quick and comfortable, and your guard is made precisely to fit your mouth.
What is a mouth guard?
A mouth guard, also called a night guard, is a device worn over your teeth, usually overnight, to protect them from the effects of grinding or clenching (a condition known as bruxism). If you experience tenderness and jaw pain from grinding and clenching you could combine Botox treatment with a mouth guard.
Unlike shop-bought versions, a custom guard is made specifically for your bite, offering a far more comfortable and effective fit.
How much does a mouth guard cost?
If you grind or clench at night, a custom mouth guard is a fantastic investment in your oral health, as it will prevent damage (and the need for more costly treatment later on).
We maintain up-to-date pricing guidelines on our pricing page, and your dentist will always give you a comprehensive quote before you agree to your treatment.
Your custom mouth guard
Your assessment
Your dentist checks your teeth and jaw for signs of grinding or clenching, and discusses whether a custom mouth guard would help protect them.
A modern digital scan
We take an impression-free digital scan of your teeth, which is sent off to create your custom mouth guard, precisely fitted to your bite.
Fitting for your comfort
Once your guard is ready, we check the fit and comfort at a short appointment, making any small adjustments needed before you take it home.

Do I need a mouth guard?
Signs you may benefit from a mouth guard include:
- Waking with jaw pain or headaches
- Worn or flattened teeth
- Being told by a partner that you grind your teeth at night
Your dentist may also spot signs of wear during a check-up, just another reason for routine visits.
