Appliance Therapy in Newburyport, MA

Did you know that you can protect the investment that you’ve made in your smile – and the smile of your child – with appliance therapy near you from Dr. James Lee and his team at Newburyport Family Dental? If you’re not familiar with this branch of dentistry, we hope that the following insight about night guards and sports guards will provide you with the information you need to learn more about appliance therapy as a leading resource in preventive dentistry.

How a Night Guard Can Protect Your Smile

Have you been told by a sleeping partner that they can hear you grinding your teeth at night? Do you wake up occasionally with a headache or sore jaw and worry that teeth grinding may be causing it? Rather than continuing to guess whether or not bruxism (more commonly known as teeth grinding) is affecting the quality of your sleep and the health of your teeth, we invite you to make an appointment with our dentist near you for a night guard consultation.

We customize night guards so that they don’t feel bulky or uncomfortable when you sleep. And before you think that ignoring your teeth grinding is a good option, please know that untreated bruxism can lead to eroded tooth enamel, increased dental sensitivity, and eventual tooth loss.

Sports Guards Do More than Protect Teeth

Even though many people associate the wearing of a sports guard as prevention for lost teeth – which it is – the guard also functions to protect dental work that already has been completed, such as bridges, braces, implants, and more. That makes a custom-fit sports guard from our dentist in Newburyport, MA, one of the easiest ways to protect the investment that you have already made in the health, beauty, and durability of you and your child’s smiles. And with the range of exclusive and sturdy sports guards that can be designed for a comfortable yet reliable fit, you’ll know that you’ve made the best decision for complete injury protection.
