What Is a Night Guard or Dental Splint?

A night guard (also called an occlusal splint or bite splint) is a custom-made dental appliance worn while sleeping. It forms a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to reduce damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

You may benefit from a night guard or splint if you experience:

  • Worn or chipped teeth

  • Jaw pain or tightness

  • Frequent morning headaches

  • Neck or facial tension

  • Clicking or popping in your jaw

If left untreated, teeth grinding can lead to permanent tooth damage, TMJ dysfunction, and chronic discomfort.

Benefits of Wearing a Dental Splint

You may benefit from a night guard or splint if you experience:

  • Prevents enamel wear and dental fractures

  • Reduces jaw pain and tension

  • Minimises risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues

  • Protects existing dental work (crowns, veneers, fillings)

  • Improves sleep quality by relieving pressure

If left untreated, teeth grinding can lead to permanent tooth damage, TMJ dysfunction, and chronic discomfort.

Custom-Made vs Over-the-Counter Guards

While over-the-counter mouthguards may seem convenient, they often:

  • Offer poor fit and comfort

  • Don’t last as long

  • Can shift during sleep and provide minimal protection

Custom night guards from our Blackburn North clinic are:

  • Precisely fitted to your bite

  • Made from high-qualitydurable materials

  • Comfortable for long-term use

Our Simple Process

  1. Consultation & Assessment – We examine your bite and symptoms.

  2. Custom Impressions – We take digital or moulded impressions of your teeth.

  3. Guard Fabrication – Your splint is made in a dental lab in Blackburn to fit your mouth exactly.

  4. Fitting & Adjustments – We ensure it’s comfortable and provide care instructions.

All our nightguards will come with a complementary 2 weeks review and will be adjusted if needed.

Night Guards may Help With:

  • Bruxism (teeth grinding)

  • TMJ disorder (TMD)

  • Clenching habits

  • Headaches related to jaw strain
