At Stevens Dental in Baton Rouge, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep and the impact it can have on your overall health. Night guards are custom-made dental devices designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding and clenching, known as bruxism. This condition can lead to a variety of dental issues, including worn enamel, tooth sensitivity, and even cracked teeth.
Our night guards are crafted by Dr. Kasan Stevens to fit comfortably over your teeth, providing a barrier that absorbs the pressure and prevents damage. Not only do they protect your teeth, but they also help alleviate jaw pain and can reduce the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders in the future.
If you wake up with a sore jaw, frequent headaches, or notice your teeth are more sensitive than usual, you might be experiencing the effects of bruxism. Night guards are an effective solution to protect your dental health. They not only prevent further damage to your teeth but also help improve your sleep quality by reducing discomfort.
Investing in a night guard can save you from costly dental treatment in the future and enhance your overall well-being. At Stevens Dental, we tailor each night guard to fit your unique dental structure to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness, as well as a great night of restful sleep.
Bruxism affects about 10% of adults and 15% of children worldwide.

Night guards act as a protective shield for your teeth, preventing the wear and tear caused by grinding. This helps maintain the integrity of your enamel and reduces the risk of fractures.
By cushioning the pressure exerted during teeth grinding, night guards help alleviate tension in the jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort associated with bruxism.
Night guards can contribute to better sleep by minimizing the disturbances caused by grinding noises and discomfort, allowing both you and your sleeping partner to wake up feeling more rested and refreshed.
Your journey to better oral health begins with a comprehensive consultation at Stevens Dental. During this visit, Dr. Kasan Stevens will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw, discussing your symptoms and dental history. This step is crucial in determining whether a night guard is the right solution for you. We take the time to understand your needs and address any concerns you may have, ensuring you feel confident in your treatment plan.

Once we've established that a night guard is appropriate for you, we'll proceed with taking a precise impression of your teeth. This impression is used to create a custom-fitted night guard that fits over your teeth perfectly. This ensures that the night guard is comfortable to wear and stays in place throughout the night. After the guard is crafted, you’ll have a fitting appointment to make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and functionality.
After you receive your night guard, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for it to ensure its longevity. Regular follow-up appointments at Stevens Dental will allow us to monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments. Proper maintenance of your night guard includes cleaning it daily and storing it safely when not in use. By following these guidelines, you can extend the life of your night guard and continue to protect your smile effectively.
