Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night without even realizing it. At Sushma Dental, with clinics in both Phagwara and Jalandhar, we offer custom-fitted night guards to protect your teeth and jaw from the damaging effects of nighttime grinding and clenching.
Unlike generic store-bought mouthguards, our night guards are custom-made to fit your bite precisely, offering better comfort and protection for long-term use.
What Is a Night Guard?
A night guard is a custom-made dental appliance worn over the teeth during sleep to prevent damage caused by bruxism — the medical term for teeth grinding and jaw clenching. It acts as a protective barrier, cushioning your teeth and reducing pressure on your jaw joints while you sleep.
At Sushma Dental, we design night guards for patients in both Phagwara and Jalandhar dealing with:
- Chronic teeth grinding or clenching
- Jaw pain or soreness upon waking
- Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
- Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
- Clicking or discomfort in the jaw joint (TMJ)
- Sensitive teeth from enamel wear
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
You may benefit from a custom night guard if you experience:
- Waking up with a sore jaw or tight facial muscles
- Frequent morning headaches
- A partner mentioning you grind your teeth at night
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Visible flattening or wear on your teeth
- Clicking, popping, or pain in your jaw joint
Our dentists at both the Phagwara and Jalandhar clinics can assess your teeth and bite to confirm if a night guard is right for you.
Types of Night Guards We Offer
1. Soft Night Guards
Made from a flexible, cushioned material, soft night guards are comfortable for mild to moderate grinding and are a common first option for many patients.
Best for: Mild to moderate teeth grinding
2. Hard (Rigid) Night Guards
Made from a durable acrylic material, hard night guards offer maximum protection for patients with severe grinding or clenching habits.
Best for: Severe bruxism or heavy grinding
3. Dual-Laminate Night Guards
Combining a soft inner layer for comfort with a hard outer shell for durability, these offer a balanced option for moderate to severe cases.
Best for: Moderate to severe grinding, patients wanting both comfort and strength

- Precisely molded to your unique bite
- More comfortable for consistent nightly use
