What Are Night Guards?
Bruxism affects many men and women and describes the grinding and clenching of your teeth at night. Even though the most visible sign is wear on the surface of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism can also cause inflammation, headaches, tooth pain, and discomfort in your neck and jaw. To protect your mouth from the painful effects of teeth grinding, Dr. Palmer offers custom night guards that safeguard your teeth while you sleep. Custom night guards are created with high-quality materials to fit comfortably and help improve the quality of your sleep by eliminating jaw clenching and teeth grinding. If you would like to learn more about custom night guards at Palmer Dental Group of Houston, book a consultation at our Houston, TX practice.
How Do Night Guards Work?
Once Dr. Palmer has diagnosed you with bruxism, he will take oral impressions and digital x-rays of your mouth to help create your custom night guard. Our team will send your impressions to a dental lab where your night guard will be crafted from quality materials. After your night guard is complete and returned to us, you will come in to have it fitted. Dr. Palmer may make small adjustments so your night guard fits properly and comfortably. You will also be given instructions on properly caring for your night guard so it lasts a long time.

Palmer Dental Group of Houston Reviews
You can expect great and trustworthy service as well as wonderful staff at Dr. Palmer's office. I'm glad Dr. Palmer told me about the cavities that my kids' pediatric dentist said were just stain and non-issue. Luckily they were still in early stage, as those are permanent teeth. Thanks so much, Dr. Palmer!
Amazing Experience at Dr. Palmer’s Office!I have been coming to this location (even after I moved a little further away) since 2018.From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Palmer and the entire staff were absolutely amazing—professional, welcoming, and genuinely kind. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit and explained everything clearly. The office itself has a calming atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. I can’t recommend Dr. Palmer and the team enough.Thank you for the outstanding care!
Great experience all the way around.
