You’ve probably heard of dental crowns and bridges, but you may not know what they are. Don’t worry, you’re not alone! When you need dental crowns or bridges in Edmonton, here is some helpful information about the procedures and what to expect afterward.
Unlike store-bought versions, a professionally made mouth guard is designed to fit the exact shape of your teeth and mouth.
This precise fit ensures greater comfort, longer durability, and more effective protection. For athletes, a custom guard can reduce the risk of dental injuries during contact sports. For individuals who suffer from bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, a guard prevents enamel wear, jaw strain, and related discomfort.
Our dental team carefully assesses your needs before designing a guard that matches your bite and oral structure. By tailoring the guard specifically to you, we ensure a level of security that generic, over-the-counter options simply cannot provide.
Teeth grinding often occurs during sleep without patients even realizing it. Over time, this habit can cause serious dental problems such as tooth wear, fractures, and chronic jaw pain. Our night guards act as a cushion between your teeth, absorbing pressure and protecting enamel. They also reduce strain on your jaw muscles, helping you wake up feeling more comfortable and rested.
Sports-related dental injuries are common, particularly in contact activities like hockey, football, or martial arts. A custom sports guard fits snugly and securely, allowing athletes to breathe, speak, and perform comfortably while keeping their teeth and gums protected. These guards significantly lower the chance of chipped or broken teeth, soft tissue injuries, and even concussions caused by direct impact.
At Bonnie Doon Dental Associates, getting your custom mouth guard is simple and convenient. During your appointment, our team will take impressions of your teeth to create a mold. This impression is then used to craft a guard that fits your mouth precisely. Once ready, we ensure the guard feels comfortable and make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit. With proper care, your custom mouth guard can provide years of reliable protection.
To keep your mouth guard in excellent condition, it should be rinsed after each use, stored in a ventilated case, and cleaned regularly with mild soap or dental cleaner. Avoid exposing it to heat or leaving it in direct sunlight, as this can cause warping. Bringing your guard with you to dental checkups allows us to monitor its condition and make adjustments if needed.
If you wake up with sore jaw muscles, frequent headaches, or notice signs of tooth wear, you may benefit from a night guard. Our team can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the right solution.
Yes, children and teenagers who play sports should wear protective guards. We can design custom options for growing mouths and update them as teeth and jaws develop.
With proper care, most guards last several years. However, heavy grinding or regular sports use may require more frequent replacement.
Yes. Because it is molded to your teeth, a custom guard is far more comfortable than standard versions and allows easy breathing and speaking.
Some insurance plans provide coverage, particularly for night guards. We can help you check your benefits and provide estimates before treatment.
Rinse with cool water after use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, and allow it to air dry in a ventilated case. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals.
