Protection that fits your teeth — and your life.
Night grinding, clenching, or jaw tension doesn’t just disturb your sleep — it slowly wears down your teeth, strains your jaw, and may even trigger chronic headaches.
At Smile Dental Lounge, we offer custom-made night goutières — also known as night guards — designed to protect your teeth while you sleep. These are not the bulky, boil-and-bite versions sold in pharmacies. Our guards are individually crafted, dentist-prescribed, and tailored to fit your unique bite with precision.
No generic trays. No over-the-counter shortcuts. Just clinically designed comfort made to last.
Why Our Goutières (Night Guards) Are Different
Individually made, not one-size-fits-all
We use high-precision impressions or digital scans to craft a guard that matches your bite perfectly. That means better protection, less shifting, and a more natural feel.
Thin, durable, and easy to wear
Our night guards are designed to withstand pressure from grinding without feeling bulky — so you can sleep peacefully and wake up pain-free.
Clinically supervised design
Every guard is planned, prescribed, and adjusted by a licensed dentist. We assess your jaw movement, tension points, and dental history to ensure the best fit and outcome.
No boiling. No guessing. No DIY.
Unlike mass-produced options, our custom night guards are made in a certified dental lab — for accuracy, safety, and long-term effectiveness.
FAQ: Night Goutières / Night Guards at Smile Dental Lounge
What exactly is a night goutière or night guard?
It’s a custom-made dental appliance worn while you sleep. It acts as a barrier between your teeth to prevent damage from grinding (bruxism) or clenching. The terms “night goutière” and “night guard” refer to the same device — we simply prefer the French term locally, but both protect your smile while you rest.
Can’t I just buy one from the pharmacy?
Over-the-counter guards are generic and often bulky. They rarely fit properly and can even worsen bite alignment or cause discomfort. A custom night guard is safer, more effective, and designed just for you.
Will I be able to sleep comfortably with it?
Yes. Ours are lightweight, low-profile, and tailored to your bite, making them easy to adapt to — most patients forget they’re even wearing one after a few nights.
How long do they last?
With proper care, a high-quality night guard can last 2 to 5 years. We’ll evaluate yours at routine check-ups and recommend replacements when needed.
Can it help with jaw pain or migraines?
Definitely. Night guards reduce stress on the TMJ (jaw joint), which can relieve jaw tension, facial pain, and even some headache symptoms.
Do you need to take an impression?
Yes. We’ll either take a traditional mould or perform a digital scan to ensure the night guard fits your exact bite and feels secure without discomfort.
