Now Open — Accepting New Patients!
A custom nightguard is a thin, comfortable guard you wear while you sleep to protect your teeth from clenching and grinding (bruxism). At MK Dental Studio in Fulshear, TX, Dr. Madiha Khanani makes nightguards from a quick digital 3D scan of your teeth — no goopy impression trays — so they fit precisely and feel comfortable. We serve patients from Fulshear, Brookshire, Katy, and the Jordan Ranch area.
Many people grind or clench at night without knowing it. Common signs include:
Store-bought and boil-and-bite guards are one-size-fits-most. They tend to be bulky and loose, so many people stop wearing them. A custom nightguard is made to fit your teeth and your bite, so it stays in place and feels comfortable night after night.
Common signs include waking up with a sore jaw or tight facial muscles, morning headaches, worn or chipped teeth, and tooth sensitivity. Sometimes a partner hears the grinding first. At your exam, Dr. Khanani checks for signs of wear and lets you know if a nightguard would help.
Yes. Store-bought and boil-and-bite guards are often bulky and loose, which makes them hard to wear every night. A custom nightguard is made from a scan of your teeth, so it's slimmer, fits securely, and is much more comfortable.
We usually make a hard/soft nightguard. The soft inner layer feels comfortable against your teeth, and the hard outer layer stands up to grinding and clenching.
A nightguard doesn't stop the habit itself — it protects your teeth and dental work from the damage grinding causes. Many patients also find their jaw feels more relaxed in the morning.
Usually about a week. We take a quick digital scan at your first visit, and your custom nightguard is typically ready for a fitting about a week later.
With good care, a custom nightguard can last for years, depending on how heavily you grind. Bring it to your checkups and we'll make sure it still fits well.
Rinse it with cool water after every use and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp it, and keep it in its case when you're not wearing it.
Nightguards are often covered at a certain percentage, depending on your plan's coverage. We'll review your benefits with you.
