Albuquerque Dental Mouthguards

Get the restful sleep you deserve

Protect your smile
while you sleep

Grinding or clenching your teeth at night? We can help you relax. At Padilla Dentistry & Orthodontics, we create custom nightguards that help protect your teeth, jaw, and overall health while you sleep.

Our Albuquerque dental mouthguards are a non-invasive, effective way to prevent the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching. Designed to fit your mouth precisely, our nightguards reduce wear, relieve tension, and help you wake up feeling refreshed.

The benefits of custom nightguards

Protects your teeth

Nightguards create a barrier between your teeth to prevent enamel wear and fractures caused by grinding.

Eases jaw pain and tension

Wearing a nightguard can help relax jaw muscles and reduce the tension that builds up overnight.

Reduces TMJ disorders

By minimizing pressure on the jaw joint, nightguards can help reduce the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

Better sleep, better health

Nightguards can lead to more restful sleep, helping you feel more energized and comfortable throughout the day.

Nightguards

Do I really need a nightguard?

If you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or notice your teeth are wearing down, a nightguard may be the solution. We can help you find out.

How long do nightguards last?

With proper care, a custom nightguard can last several years. We’ll provide tips to help you protect your investment.

Will a nightguard feel bulky or uncomfortable?

Our guards are designed for a snug, low-profile fit so you can wear them comfortably through the night.

Can I use a store-bought nightguard?

Over-the-counter options don’t offer the same fit, durability, or effectiveness. These store-bought guards can even make your problem worse. Custom nightguards provide better protection and long-term results.
