650-285-6999 Waking up with a sore jaw or frequent headaches can be a sign of teeth grinding or clenching during sleep. At Richard S. Durando, DDS, we understand the importance of a restful night and the impact it has on your overall well-being. Our night guards provide a simple yet effective solution to protect your teeth and ensure you wake up feeling refreshed.
Why Choose Night Guards?
Teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism, can lead to various dental issues if left untreated. Night guards act as a protective barrier, preventing your teeth from coming into contact with each other. This reduces the risk of tooth wear, fractures and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By using a custom-fitted night guard, you can alleviate discomfort and safeguard your dental health.
Custom-Fitted for Your Comfort
One size does not fit all, especially when it comes to night guards. Our dentist and team take precise measurements to create a night guard that fits your mouth perfectly. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness. Dr. Richard Durando uses advanced technology to design night guards that are tailored to your unique dental structure.

FAQ
What are night guards made of?
Our night guards are made from high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand the pressure of grinding and clenching. They are crafted to be both strong and comfortable.
How long do night guards last?
The lifespan of a night guard can vary depending on the severity of your bruxism and how well you care for it. On average, a night guard can last several years with proper maintenance and regular check-ups.
Can I use over-the-counter night guards?
While over-the-counter night guards are available, they may not provide the same level of protection and comfort as a custom-fitted one. Our custom night guards are tailored to fit your mouth precisely, ensuring better protection and comfort.
How do I clean my night guard?
Cleaning your night guard is simple. Rinse it with lukewarm water and use a toothbrush with mild soap to gently clean it. Avoid using hot water, as it can distort the shape of the guard. Store it in its case when not in use to keep it clean and protected.
