Stop Grinding.
Protect Your Smile.

A custom-fitted night guard with Dr. Lince starts at $180 USD. This is significantly below the typical cost in the US and UK, where a custom night guard ranges from $300 to $1,000 USD.

Your investment includes the initial bite evaluation by a Specialist in Oral Rehabilitation, a precise digital impression, custom fabrication with premium materials, personalized fitting, and a care guide. Final pricing is confirmed after evaluation, depending on your bite mechanics and the severity of your bruxism.

A custom night guard is digitally impressed and fabricated to fit your exact bite mechanics. It's made from premium dental-grade materials, evaluated by a specialist, and adjusted for comfort and protection.

Pharmacy and online night guards are one-size-fits-all (boil-and-bite). They can cause uneven pressure, bite misalignment, and even worsen jaw problems over time. They also wear out within months instead of lasting years. For patients with veneers, crowns, or expensive restorations, a generic guard can be more harmful than helpful.

The full process takes 3 days from start to finish. Day 1 includes your specialist evaluation and digital bite impression. Days 2 and 3 are reserved for precise lab fabrication. Once ready, you'll come back for personalized fitting and bite adjustment to ensure complete comfort.

This timing is especially convenient for international patients combining their night guard with smile design treatment — your custom guard can be ready and delivered alongside your veneers in a single trip to Cali.

We use premium dental-grade materials chosen specifically for your case. For most bruxism patients, hard acrylic is the gold standard — it provides durable protection, prevents tooth wear, and stabilizes the bite over time.

Soft materials are sometimes used for mild cases or as a transition during adjustment periods. During your evaluation, Dr. Lince will recommend the best material based on the severity of your grinding, your bite mechanics, and whether you have veneers, crowns, or other restorations to protect.

Yes — a properly designed custom night guard is one of the most effective treatments for bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ-related discomfort. By creating a precise barrier between your upper and lower teeth, it reduces muscular tension, prevents tooth wear, and helps your jaw rest in a healthier position overnight.

Many patients also report noticeably deeper sleep and more vivid dreams from the very first night — a result of reduced jaw muscle activity during the night. Results vary by case, and Dr. Lince will share what to expect after evaluating your specific situation.

With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts around 2 years, depending on the intensity of your bruxism. Patients with severe grinding may need replacement sooner; lighter grinders often get longer use.

We provide a complete care guide so you know exactly how to clean and store your guard for maximum lifespan. Annual check-ups during your routine dental visits also help us monitor wear and recommend timely replacement before damage shifts back to your teeth — especially important if you have veneers or other restorations to protect.
