What Are Night Guards?
Waking up with a sore jaw or sensitive teeth can be frustrating. A night guard for teeth grinding helps protect your smile while easing discomfort caused by bruxism. At Oasis Smiles Dentistry in San Diego, CA, and Vista Oasis Smiles in Vista, CA, we provide custom-fit solutions designed for comfort and durability. A night guard is a protective device that covers the teeth while you sleep. It is also called a mouth guard for grinding teeth or a bite guard for clenching teeth. Many people unknowingly grind or clench their teeth at night, which can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, and headaches. A bruxism night guard prevents damage by cushioning the teeth and reducing pressure. Contact our office in San Diego or Vista, CA to schedule a consultation, and let our team help determine if a custom night guard is right for you.
How Do Night Guards Work?
A teeth-grinding guard creates a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. This prevents the damage caused by grinding and clenching. The custom-fit guard provides a snug, comfortable fit and allows for easy breathing while you sleep. Our practitioners will share tips on how to clean your night guard and keep it in good condition. We suggest rinsing it with cool water after each use, using a soft toothbrush and mild soap to remove debris, and then letting it air dry completely before storing it in a ventilated case. We also recommend avoiding using hot water because it can warp the material.

Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
