Frequently Asked Dental Guard Questions
Our clinicians have extensive experience providing custom dental guards in Abu Dhabi. Here are answers to common questions about assessment, fitting, and long-term use.
What is a dental guard and when is it needed?
A dental guard is a custom-made appliance worn over the teeth to protect them from grinding, clenching, or physical impact. It is commonly recommended for patients with bruxism, jaw tension, or those involved in contact sports. At Manchester Dental Clinic, we assess your symptoms, tooth wear, and bite before advising whether a guard is appropriate for you.
How is a custom dental guard different from an over-the-counter guard?
Over-the-counter guards are pre-formed or boil-and-bite devices that do not account for your specific bite or jaw alignment. A custom dental guard is made using impressions or scans of your teeth and is adjusted by a clinician for fit, comfort, and function. This improves stability, protection, and long-term wearability, especially for patients with moderate to severe grinding.
Can a dental guard help with jaw pain or headaches?
In many cases, a well-designed dental guard can help reduce muscle strain caused by clenching or grinding, which may contribute to jaw discomfort and tension-type headaches. During your assessment, we examine your jaw joints, muscles, and bite to determine whether a guard is likely to be beneficial. If appropriate, we may combine guard therapy with other measures such as bite adjustments or physiotherapy referrals.
How long does it take to get a dental guard made?
The process usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, we examine your bite and take impressions or digital scans of your teeth. The guard is then fabricated in a dental laboratory, and at the second visit we check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and give you instructions on use and care.
How long will a dental guard last?
The lifespan of a dental guard depends on the level of grinding, the material used, and how well it is maintained. Many guards last several years, although heavy grinders may require more frequent replacement. We review your guard at routine check-ups and advise if it shows signs of wear or changes in fit.
Is it uncomfortable to sleep with a night guard?
It can take a short period of adjustment, particularly during the first few nights. Custom guards are designed to fit closely to your teeth, which usually improves comfort compared with generic devices. If you experience pressure or difficulty adapting, we can review and adjust the guard to support more comfortable wear.
How do I clean and look after my dental guard?
Your dental guard should be rinsed after use and gently brushed with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive cleanser. It should be stored dry in a ventilated case away from heat. At your appointments, we can demonstrate appropriate cleaning methods and advise on products that are safe to use.
Can I wear a dental guard if I have crowns, bridges, or dental implants?
Yes, in many cases a dental guard is particularly useful for protecting crowns, bridges, and implants from excessive forces. We take your existing restorations into account when designing the guard to ensure even contact and stability. A detailed examination allows us to confirm suitability and adjust the design if required.
Are sports mouthguards and night guards the same thing?
No, sports mouthguards and night guards are designed for different purposes. Sports mouthguards are made to absorb and distribute impact during physical activity, while night guards are usually thinner and designed to manage grinding forces and protect tooth surfaces. At Manchester Dental Clinic we recommend and design the type of guard that matches your specific needs.
How much does a dental guard cost in Abu Dhabi?
The cost of a dental guard varies depending on the type of guard, materials used, and clinical requirements. After a full examination and discussion of your needs, we provide a clear treatment plan that includes fees before proceeding. This allows you to make an informed decision based on both clinical and practical considerations.
