What are the symptoms of bruxism?
Symptoms of bruxism include frequent headaches, especially in the morning, jaw pain or stiffness, and noticeable wear on your teeth, such as flattening, chipping, or increased tooth sensitivity. You may also experience earaches, tension in your neck or shoulders, and disrupted sleep due to grinding or clenching your teeth at night. In some cases, bruxism can lead to cracked or fractured teeth and gum recession. If left untreated, bruxism can cause long-term damage to your teeth and jaw, so it’s important to seek dental care if you notice these symptoms.
How long does a nightguard last?
The lifespan of a nightguard depends on its material and how often you use it. Our custom-made nightguards are made of high-quality materials and can last many years with proper care. However, if you grind your teeth severely, your nightguard may wear down more quickly and need replacement sooner. Regular cleaning and storing your nightguard in a protective case when not in use can extend its durability. If you are concerned about the condition of your oral appliance, feel free to bring it with you to your next appointment so our team can assess it.
Will my insurance cover a nightguard?
Insurance coverage for a nightguard varies depending on your dental plan. Many dental insurance plans do cover a portion of the cost of a custom nightguard if it is deemed medically necessary for treating bruxism or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage, including any co-pays or deductibles. Our office also provides an in-house membership plan, which can reduce the cost of your custom nightguard, and we accept CareCredit® payment plans as well.
