Nightguards in Lewisham for Better Sleep, Comfort, and Tooth Protection
At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, we provide custom-made nightguards to protect your teeth, jaw joints and smile while you sleep. If you grind or clench your teeth at night (a condition known as bruxism), you may wake up with jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth or sensitivity. A professionally fitted dental nightguard is a simple, effective way to reduce damage, relieve pressure and safeguard your long-term oral health.
Teeth grinding can cause enamel wear, small cracks, broken fillings, gum recession and even chipped or fractured teeth over time. It can also put extra strain on the jaw joints and muscles, leading to discomfort, stiffness and disturbed sleep. A high-quality nightguard, designed individually for your mouth, creates a comfortable barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the forces of clenching and helping to relax the jaw.
At ToothBrush Dental, your nightguard is custom-made using impressions or digital scans of your teeth, ensuring a precise, secure and comfortable fit. Our nightguards are slim, durable and easy to clean, so most patients adapt to wearing them quickly. During your appointment, we will examine your teeth and bite, discuss your symptoms, and recommend the most suitable type of nightguard for your needs — whether you’re protecting cosmetic work, managing jaw pain or preventing further tooth wear.
If you suspect you grind your teeth, wake with jaw tension, or have noticed your teeth wearing down, a dental nightguard could make a big difference. Contact ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham today to book a consultation for a custom nightguard and let us help you protect your teeth, ease discomfort and sleep with confidence.
