Night GuardsIn Middletown, CT
Are you grinding and clenching your teeth at night? Give your smile some relief with our custom night guards.
What is a night guard?
Nightguards are a protective solution for patients that subconsciously grind and clench their teeth while they sleep. These custom-made accessories work as a soft barrier between your teeth to prevent painful clenching and grinding overnight. When biting down, the night guard eases the tension between your jaw muscles and shields your teeth from enamel erosion. Wearing your custom-molded night guard can alleviate the painful side effects of the clenching and grinding, so you can sleep with ease.

Night guards can also treat snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.

It's our goal to keep care in line with your budget, so you can save on your smile.

How it works: The night guard treatment process
What is Perio Protect?
Perio Protect is a non-invasive, at-home treatment that works alongside in-office periodontal care to help manage and prevent gum disease. This system uses custom-fitted trays—called Perio Trays®—designed to deliver a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel deep below the gumline. These trays allow medication to reach the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease in places brushing and flossing simply can’t.
Unlike traditional antibiotic treatments or more aggressive surgical options, Perio Protect is gentle, effective, and designed for long-term use as part of your daily routine. The trays are worn for just minutes a day and are FDA-cleared for use in managing periodontal disease.

- Freshens Breath and Gently Whitens Teeth: Many patients notice an improvement in breath odor and even mild teeth whitening as a bonus side effect from the hydrogen peroxide gel.
