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
I had an exceptional experience at Dr. Palmer's dental practice. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. The office ambiance was modern and inviting, and the cleanliness was top-notch, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Palmer and his dental hygienist, Victoria, were not only highly professional but also incredibly courteous throughout my visit. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed at all times. What truly stood out to me was their attention to detail and their genuine care for their patients' well-being. One thoughtful touch that made my visit even more pleasant was the personalized welcome sign with my name on it—a small gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. Additionally, being able to watch Netflix during my cleaning was a fantastic perk that helped me relax and feel more at ease. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service I received from Dr. Palmer and Victoria. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in search of quality dental care in a welcoming environment. Thank you, Dr. Palmer and Victoria, for your exceptional care!
