Night Guards and Sports Guards in Hackensack, NJ

Protect Your Smile with Custom Night Guards and Sports Guards

If you’re struggling with teeth grinding at night or need protection during sports, Roman Dental Arts offers professionally designed night guards and sports mouthguards right here in Hackensack, NJ. Our custom-fit dental appliances help prevent long-term oral health issues, reduce discomfort, and protect your smile.

Understanding Night Guards and Their Benefits

Night guards are custom dental devices worn during sleep to protect your teeth from bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching. This condition can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, headaches, and even cracked teeth. At Roman Dental Arts, our custom night guards are tailored to fit comfortably and securely, offering effective relief from grinding and jaw tension.

Wearing a professionally made dental night guard not only safeguards your teeth but also helps with TMJ-related symptoms. Unlike over-the-counter guards, our custom night guards provide a precise fit and enhanced durability. Whether you’re dealing with bruxism or TMJ discomfort, our team has the experience and technology to craft the right solution for you.

Our night guards are created using high-quality, BPA-free materials. We use digital impressions to ensure the perfect fit, making them more comfortable and longer-lasting than store-bought alternatives. These guards can significantly improve your sleep quality while protecting your teeth and jaw joints.

Why Sports Guards Matter for Athletes of All Ages

Whether you’re playing football, basketball, hockey, or any contact sport, wearing a properly fitted mouthguard is essential. Our custom sports guards help prevent broken teeth, lip injuries, and concussions. Roman Dental Arts provides high-performance sports mouthguards for children, teens, and adults.

Unlike generic mouthguards, our dental sports guards are custom-designed to stay securely in place during play, ensuring maximum comfort and protection. These guards allow athletes to breathe and communicate easily, which is especially important for younger players in team sports.

Our sports guards are ideal for:

School-age athletes
Amateur and professional sports participants
Patients with braces or dental restorations

We also offer personalized color and design options, making it easy to match your guard to your team colors or favorite style.

The Customization Process at Roman Dental Arts

At Roman Dental Arts, our approach to creating custom night guards and sports mouthguards starts with a detailed consultation. Our experienced dentists, Dr. Donald Roman and Dr. Alissa Roman, will assess your needs and take digital impressions for a precise fit.

Once the impressions are completed, our team will fabricate your mouthguard in a professional dental lab. The final product will be delivered within days and fitted to ensure it offers the highest level of comfort and protection. We’ll provide you with instructions on how to care for and maintain your guard for long-term use.

Our office uses cutting-edge technology like digital X-rays and intraoral scanners to enhance accuracy and patient experience. Each appliance is created with your unique anatomy and lifestyle in mind.
