Custom Night Guards
in Ashburn, VA
Protect your teeth from grinding and clenching with a custom-fitted night guard from Esthetique Dentistry. Precision-made from iTero digital impressions for lasting comfort and protection.
What Are
Night Guards?
Bruxism, teeth grinding and clenching, affects millions of Americans, most often during sleep. Without protection, grinding forces can crack enamel, wear down teeth, damage dental restorations, and cause chronic jaw pain and headaches.
At Esthetique Dentistry in Ashburn, VA, we fabricate custom occlusal night guards using iTero digital impressions for a precise, comfortable fit. Unlike drugstore guards, ours are made from professional-grade materials matched to your level of grinding severity.
Many patients notice relief from morning headaches and jaw tension within the first few weeks of wearing their custom guard. We offer multiple guard types, from soft laminate to hard acrylic, to match your specific needs.

from a Night Guard If You…
A custom night guard is recommended for patients who experience any of the following:
- Wake with jaw pain, facial soreness, or morning headaches

Benefits of a
Custom Night Guard
Prevents Tooth Damage
Absorbs grinding forces that would otherwise crack, chip, or wear down enamel, protecting both natural teeth and existing dental work.
Reduces Jaw Pain
Many Ashburn patients experience significant relief from jaw pain, facial soreness, and TMJ discomfort within the first few weeks.
Eliminates Morning Headaches
Nighttime clenching overloads jaw muscles and causes tension headaches. A night guard reduces muscle fatigue and headache frequency.
Custom Comfort
Fabricated from precise iTero impressions, our guards fit perfectly and stay in place, far more comfortable than generic drugstore options.
Protects Dental Investments
If you have crowns, veneers, bridges, or implants, a night guard protects that investment from grinding damage worth thousands of dollars.
Long-Lasting Protection
Professional-grade materials last 3–5 years with proper care. We check your guard at every visit to ensure it continues to protect your smile.
