Custom Nightguards in Rowlett, TX

Waking up with jaw pain, worn-down teeth, or frequent headaches? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep—a condition known as bruxism. At Dalrock Dental Care, we provide custom-fit nightguards to protect your teeth, reduce jaw tension, and help you get a more restful night’s sleep.

What Are Dental Nightguards?

Even if you’re unaware of it, nighttime teeth grinding can cause lasting damage to your teeth and jaw. A custom nightguard offers a simple, effective way to minimize the harmful effects of bruxism.
  • Prevents Enamel Wear – Reduces friction between teeth during sleep.

  • Eases Jaw Pain – Helps relieve tension and stress on the jaw joints.

  • Improves Sleep Quality – Less discomfort at night means better rest.

Our nightguards are custom-designed to fit your bite precisely and comfortably for consistent, long-term protection.

Why Choose a Custom Nightguard Instead of a Store-Bought One?

Over-the-counter nightguards may seem convenient, but they’re usually bulky, poorly fitted, and less effective at protecting your smile.
  • Tailored Fit – Custom nightguards are designed from impressions of your exact bite.

  • Comfortable Wear – Less bulk, less shifting, and less irritation than store-bought versions.

  • Better Protection – Designed to absorb grinding forces evenly, protecting teeth and dental work.

  • Longer Lifespan – Durable material resists flattening and breakdown over time.

With a custom appliance, you’re far more likely to wear it nightly and get real relief from bruxism.

Signs You May Need a Nightguard

Bruxism and jaw clenching often happen during sleep, so it’s important to watch for subtle warning signs during the day.
  • Morning headaches or facial soreness

  • Flattened or chipped teeth

  • Tight or tired jaw muscles upon waking

  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth

  • Unexplained tooth sensitivity

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we’ll evaluate your bite and may recommend a nightguard as part of your treatment plan.

How Nightguards Help with TMJ & Muscle Tension

Beyond protecting teeth, nightguards can also ease jaw strain and reduce the risk of TMJ disorders by allowing your muscles and joints to rest at night.
  • Relieves Clenching Pressure – Reduces stress placed on the jaw and surrounding muscles.

  • Supports Joint Health – Encourages a more natural resting jaw position.

  • Reduces Facial Pain – Lessens tension in the cheeks, temples, and neck.

  • Protects Against Long-Term TMJ Damage – Prevents uneven wear or inflammation in the jaw joint.

Even without a formal TMJ diagnosis, a custom nightguard can bring significant relief from jaw-related discomfort.
