Made to Fit. Built to Protect.
Night-time teeth grinding and jaw clenching can quietly wear down your smile, often causing jaw pain, headaches, and lasting damage if left unchecked.
At Woodleigh Waters Dental in Berwick, we create custom-fitted nightguards that act as a comfortable barrier, protecting your teeth, easing muscle tension, and supporting better sleep. You may not notice the grinding, but your nightguard will.
Let our experienced team provide the protection your smile deserves, so you can rest easy knowing it is safe through the night.
Many people grind or clench their teeth in their sleep without even realising it. Left untreated, this can lead to serious dental problems over time. Knowing the signs can help you take action early.
Common signs that you may benefit from a nightguard include waking up with jaw pain or tightness, frequent headaches or facial soreness. If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to talk to our Berwick dentist about getting a nightguard.

FAQs
If you often wake up with jaw pain, sore teeth, headaches, or notice worn or chipped teeth, you may be grinding or clenching during sleep. These are key indicators that a nightguard could help protect your teeth and relieve the strain on your jaw.
At Woodleigh Waters Dental, we assess your symptoms during a dental consultation and recommend whether a nightguard is suitable for your situation. Early intervention can help prevent long-term damage and discomfort.
A nightguard is specifically designed to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching forces that occur while you sleep. In contrast, a sports mouthguard is made to absorb impact from physical activity. Nightguards are thinner, more flexible, and custom-fitted to ensure comfort during sleep.
At Woodleigh Waters Dental in Berwick, we offer nightguards tailored to your bite and sleep patterns. If you are unsure which type of protection you need, our team can guide you through the best option based on your lifestyle.
Yes, a nightguard can help relieve jaw pain associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction by reducing strain on the jaw joint. By cushioning the bite and preventing grinding, nightguards ease the muscle tension that contributes to TMJ discomfort.
Our team at Woodleigh Waters Dental regularly works with patients experiencing TMJ symptoms and can determine if a nightguard will assist in managing your jaw pain effectively.
Teeth grinding often happens without your awareness during sleep, but signs may include morning headaches, jaw soreness, and tooth sensitivity. You may also notice flat or worn tooth edges, or someone may tell you they hear you grinding in your sleep.
At Woodleigh Waters Dental, we can identify signs of bruxism during your dental exam. If necessary, we’ll recommend a nightguard to prevent further damage and protect your smile.
Yes, when properly fitted, a nightguard should be comfortable enough to wear throughout the night. It’s designed to match your bite and mouth shape, which is why custom-made options are much more relaxed than over-the-counter ones.
At Woodleigh Waters Dental, we ensure your nightguard fits securely and comfortably by using modern scanning techniques. Adjustments can be made to enhance fit and make wearing it feel natural over time.
The process typically takes one to two appointments. After we scan your teeth at Woodleigh Waters Dental, your custom nightguard is fabricated and ready for fitting within a week or so.
Once ready, we will have you return to our Berwick clinic to check the fit and make any minor adjustments. From there, you can begin using it immediately for overnight protection.
