Waking up with dental pain is often a sign you grind or clench your teeth during the night. While many people assume a store-bought night guard is a good solution, it won’t provide the protection your mouth really needs. Our custom mouthguards in Monroe will:

You probably don’t even realize you grind your teeth at night. However, it’s often noticeable if you wake up with jaw pain. Over time, you may see small chips or cracks on your teeth. Damage to your teeth may require restorative treatments to repair your smile.
We use dental impressions to create a custom-made mouthguard that will prevent you from grinding your teeth at night. This ensures a perfect fit. We also use 3-D printing technology to create it in our office, so you won’t have to wait on an outside lab. By wearing this night guard while you sleep, you protect your smile and wake up without pain or discomfort.
Many store-bought mouthguards last only a few months. However, with proper care and attention, your mouthguard can last for several years without needing to be replaced. You’ll pay more for a custom-made mouthguard upfront but save money over time since you won’t have to replace it as frequently.
To take care of your night guard, we recommend you:

My husband and I had been looking for a new dentist, Monroe Smiles was recommended to us. We have nothing but great things to say about this dentist! The entire team is so friendly and kind! Very detailed and knowledgeable. We would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!
Highly recommend Monroe Smiles! Everyone in the office is so friendly, they’re gentle and make sure you’re comfortable. I like that they have modern updated equipment and the waiting area is decorated cute to feel more cozy and not like a medical facility.
Very welcoming environment. The staff was really friendly and kind. For someone that gets really bad anxiety about going to the dentist this was the perfect place. Very clean. Helped me understand everything that was going on and answered my questions.
I went in to get a chipped front tooth looked at thinking I’d need a crown. Dr Johnson said I didn’t need one he fixed it right then. He did a perfect job on it. The staff is very professional and friendly. I will definitely be back for routine work. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend Monroe Smiles. I recently moved to the area and was concerned about finding a new dentist. I am so happy to have found them. They are genuinely kind, have all the latest equipment, and really know their stuff! Best dental office I’ve been to in my 56 years!!
I just came back from my first appointment at Monroe Smiles and it was by far the best experience I have had at a dentist office. It is a very nice facility, everything is top end, the entire staff is friendly and great to chat with, and they are very transparent in their care and share details and explanations for what they are doing and seeing. I have found my “forever dentist”. Highly recommended!
Staff were sweet and gentle even though I hadn’t had a cleaning in a long time. They explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Highly recommend Dr. Johnson and his team!
Everybody here is extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. I always have an enjoyable experience here and receive excellent care. They even went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday! They’ve always communicated clearly, provided a clean environment, and resolved any questions or concerns I’ve had. Nothing but good things to say about this place and I recommend it to all.
Great atmosphere, really friend staff, quick working and know what they’re doing. I really enjoyed my experience and that is something I never thought I’d say about going to the dentist. Very happy to have found them!
Excellent facility, staff and professionalism. Total excellence from the moment you walk in the door to sitting back in the chair to completing the visit and walking out. No surprises, awesome people and exactly what you want in a dental experience. Keep up the great work. Thank you, Happy Dental Patient
Yes, mouthguards from an experienced dentist are designed to fit over your upper and lower teeth so that as you sleep, your jaw stays in a forward position to properly realign the joint. The mouthguard also prevents you from clenching down and putting excess pressure on your TMJ during the night.
If you purchase a mouthguard from the store, you’re buying a mass-produced device that won’t fit properly, likely crafted using low-quality, inexpensive plastic. When you let a dentist design your mouthguard, it will be created using the most durable material based on precise measurements of your teeth. This results in a snug but comfortable fit and maximum protection.
On the contrary! Mouthguards protect your teeth from damage. If you play sports, an athletic mouthguard prevents injuries such as cracked, broken, and knocked-out teeth. If you grind your teeth, wearing a mouthguard keeps your enamel in great shape. We offer custom mouthguards that provide a superior fit and better protection. You’re less likely to need restorative dental care by wearing one.
