Night Guards
If you wake up with sore teeth, jaw pain, or headaches, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night. A custom night guard from Friendly Smiles Center can help protect your smile and give your jaw a much-needed break while you sleep. At our Mount Laurel dental office, Dr. Robert Chase designs comfortable, custom-made night guards that fit your bite and address your specific symptoms, so you can rest easier and avoid long-term damage to your teeth and jaw joints.

Why a Custom Night Guard Matters
Teeth grinding and clenching can slowly wear away your enamel, chip or fracture teeth, and strain your jaw. A store-bought guard might feel bulky or loose, and if it does not fit quite right, you may not wear it at all.
A professionally made night guard is tailored to your mouth and your bite, which can help you:
- Protect teeth from wear, chipping, or cracking
- Reduce morning jaw soreness and tension
- Support jaw joint comfort and stability
- Sleep with greater comfort and peace of mind
At Friendly Smiles Center, we take time to listen to your concerns and clearly explain your options. Our goal is to help you feel confident that your night guard is not only protective, but also comfortable enough for nightly use.
What to Expect From Night Guard Treatment
Your visit starts with a conversation about your symptoms and a thorough exam with Dr. Chase. If a night guard is recommended, we will take precise digital scans or impressions of your teeth. These records allow us to create a guard that fits securely and feels natural when you close your mouth.
Once your night guard is ready, we will check the fit, make any needed adjustments, and show you exactly how to wear and care for it. You will know what to expect, how long to wear it each night, and how to keep it clean so it lasts as long as possible.
