Night Guards
Night guards and occlusal guards serve as effective solutions for patients dealing with discomfort caused by teeth grinding and bruxism. Our night guards are meticulously crafted to provide optimal protection for your patients’ teeth and restorations. They are custom-made based on your prescribed bite and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Tanaka Dental Lab offers a range of night guards, including soft, hard, or hard/soft variations, tailored to your specific prescription.
