Night Guards in Kamloops

Rest Easy, Protect Your Smile

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night. It’s a habit many people don’t notice — but over time, it can wear down enamel, crack fillings, and strain the jaw joint.

A night guard acts like a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, easing pressure and preventing damage while you sleep. At Empire Dental, we make each one from a digital scan of your mouth, so the fit feels natural and secure. You’ll still be able to breathe, talk, and sleep comfortably.

This simple appliance helps protect the work you’ve invested in your smile — fillings, crowns, and natural enamel — by absorbing the forces that cause wear. It’s one of the easiest ways to prevent long-term dental problems before they start.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

Morning jaw tightness or pain

Headaches when you wake up

Worn or flattened teeth

Chipped enamel or broken fillings

Clicking or tension in the jaw joint

Increased tooth sensitivity

What to Expect

We’ll start with a quick scan — no impressions or mess. Once your guard is made, we’ll check the fit and make small adjustments so it feels just right. Most patients adapt within a night or two.

Caring for it is simple: rinse with cool water, brush lightly with a soft toothbrush, and store it in its case. Bring it to your regular hygiene visits so we can make sure it still fits well.

Many patients say their night guard helps them sleep more deeply and wake up without that sore, tight feeling. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.
