Night Guards for Teeth Grinding in
Fort Lauderdale | Pompano Beach | Lauderdale By The Sea
Teeth grinding often happens without you realizing it. Many patients only become aware of it after noticing subtle changes, like increased tooth sensitivity, jaw tension, or wear on their teeth over time. A custom night guard is a simple, effective way to protect your teeth while you sleep, helping reduce the long-term impact of grinding and clenching.
At JJ Dental, night guards are designed with precision to ensure a secure, comfortable fit that supports both your teeth and jaw alignment. We proudly care for patients from Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Pompano Beach, and Pembroke Pines, providing personalized care at every visit.
Bruxism is a common condition that involves grinding or clenching the teeth, often during sleep. Because it happens unconsciously, it can go unnoticed until symptoms begin to appear.

Early evaluation allows us to identify these patterns and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Night guards are custom-made dental appliances worn while you sleep. They act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the effects of grinding and clenching. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom night guard is designed specifically for your bite, allowing for a more secure fit and consistent protection throughout the night.
Night guards offer several benefits for individuals with bruxism:
Consistent use can help prevent gradual damage that may otherwise require more extensive treatment in the future.
At JJ Dental, our insurance specialists deal directly with your insurance providers.
A thorough breakdown of your benefits enables us to provide the most accurate coverage estimate. Based on this information, we can provide you with a plan that maximizes your benefits and minimizes your out-of-pocket expenses. Once treatment begins, we will submit your insurance claims on your behalf to eliminate any hassle. (See Accepted Insurance)

For any procedures not covered by your plan or beyond your plan’s maximum benefit, we accept several payment methods, including cash, checks, money orders, and major credit cards. We also offer flexible, no-interest monthly installment plans through Cherry, CareCredit, LendingClub, Alphaeon, and Sunbit, helping you get the treatment you need without a financial burden.
