Protect Your Smile with Custom Night Guards & Sports Guards in Los Angeles

Shield Your Teeth from Grinding, Clenching, and Sports Injuries

At Smile LA Downtown Modern Dentistry, we understand the importance of safeguarding your teeth against the harmful effects of nighttime grinding (bruxism) and sports-related injuries. Our custom-fitted night guards and sports guards are designed to provide maximum protection and comfort, ensuring that your smile remains healthy and intact.

Why Choose a Custom Night Guard?

Prevent Damage from Teeth Grinding and Clenching

Do you find yourself waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or noticing that your teeth are wearing down? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep—a condition known as bruxism. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to serious dental issues, including tooth fractures, gum recession, and even tooth loss.

Our custom night guards offer an effective solution by creating a comfortable barrier between your teeth, protecting them from damage while you sleep. Unlike generic, store-bought options, our custom night guards are specifically tailored to fit your mouth, ensuring optimal protection and comfort throughout the night.
