Protect Your Smile & Your Health
Exercise and sleep are important lifestyle elements that impact many aspects of your overall health. To help you get the most out of both, our dentists offer sports guards, night guards, and sleep apnea appliances.
For people who play sports, experience sleep apnea or clench or grind their teeth at night, dental appliances can help preserve and protect oral structures, and help patients – and their partners – get a good night's sleep.
Mouth guards and sleep apnea appliances from our team are precisely fitted to provide optimal comfort and effectiveness. Contact our team to book an appointment to have a mouthguard or dental appliance made for you or your family member.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Appliances
Sleep disorders can prevent you from getting the essential rest you need and negatively impact both your physical and mental health.
If you snore, tissues and muscles around your throat restrict proper air movement, creating the sound of snoring as oxygen is forced past. If you experience sleep apnea, your throat tissues over-relax and obstruct the airway, forcing your brain to wake you up to breathe.
At Big Bay Dental, we provide oral appliances that move the lower jaw and tongue muscles to open the airway. This helps improve your flow of breath and prevent repeated waking throughout the night.
Sports Guards
If you or a loved one gets hit in the mouth during a sports activity, a mouth guard can provide a barrier between the teeth and the soft tissue of the mouth, helping to prevent injuries and tooth damage.
Night Guards
If you grind your teeth during sleep, a mouth guard can help protect your teeth from damage. If you clench your jaw, a mouth guard can also help to prevent painful symptoms such as headaches, earaches and jaw tension.
