Night Guard Fittings – Protect Your Smile While You Sleep

Teeth grinding and clenching — known as bruxism — can cause serious wear, discomfort, and long-term dental damage. At Howick Dental Surgery, we provide custom-fitted night mouth guards designed to protect your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health while you rest.

Why You May Need a Night Guard

Many New Zealanders unknowingly grind their teeth at night. Common signs include:

  • Waking up with jaw or facial pain
  • Headaches or tension in the temples
  • Sensitive or worn-down teeth
  • Chipped or cracked enamel

A professionally fitted night guard for teeth can prevent these issues by acting as a comfortable barrier between your upper and lower teeth. Unlike generic store-bought guards, our dental night mouthguards are custom-made using precise moulds of your bite — ensuring a perfect fit, superior comfort, and maximum protection.

The Benefits of a Custom Dental Night Mouthguard

A night guard made specifically for your mouth can:

  • Reduce stress on the jaw joints and muscles
  • Prevent further tooth wear and enamel erosion
  • Minimise morning discomfort and headaches
  • Improve sleep quality by reducing tension

Our dentists take detailed impressions and use high-quality dental materials to craft guards that are durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting. Whether you clench mildly or suffer from severe bruxism, we’ll recommend the best dental night guard suited to your needs.

Simple, Comfortable, and Effective

The fitting process is quick and comfortable. During your appointment, we’ll take a digital or physical impression of your teeth, discuss your symptoms, and design a guard that works best for you. Within days, your night guard will be ready — lightweight, discreet, and made to last.

We also provide ongoing check-ups to ensure your guard continues to fit perfectly and offer the protection you need.
