Mouthgaurds

Experience comfort and protection with our custom mouthguards

Taking care of your teeth goes beyond brushing and flossing. Teeth grinding or clenching at night can cause significant damage over time. Our custom nightguards are designed to provide comfort and protection, helping you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.

At Spokane Family Smiles, we offer a simple, comfortable process to get a custom Spokane Valley dental mouthguard treatment. During your visit, we’ll discuss your symptoms and needs, ensuring you receive a personalized solution that works for you.

The benefits of custom nightguards

  • Prevents teeth grinding (bruxism) and the associated wear and tear
  • Alleviates symptoms of TMJ disorder, such as jaw pain and discomfort
  • Protects your teeth from trauma, preserving your natural smile
  • Made from high-quality materials for a snug and comfortable fit

Peace of mind starts with better protection

Dr. Shumway quote: “Nightguards do more than stop grinding. They prevent long-term damage and provide comfort, so you can sleep soundly and wake up with a pain-free smile.”

Common questions about nightguards

Can I use a generic sports mouthguard?

No. Sports mouthguards are designed for impact protection and are generally too bulky and uncomfortable for nighttime use. Custom Nightguards are specifically made to address grinding and are built for comfort and long-term wear.

How do I clean my nightguard?

Rinse your nightguard with warm water every morning and gently brush it using a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Focus on cleaning the ridges and grooves to keep it free of bacteria.

Are nightguards covered by insurance?

While dental insurance coverage varies, many plans will cover a portion of your Spokane Valley dental mouthguard treatment as part of preventive or restorative care. We’ll help you understand your benefits and file any necessary claims.

Absolutely one of the best dentist offices I have been to. The appointment went smoothly and I was kept well informed of what was going on and if there were any issues.

Always a pleasure to visit. Very friendly, warm, and inviting. Very pleased with the dentist and the staff there. They keep me in tip top shape when it comes to my teeth.

I contacted Dr. Shumway on a Saturday and he returned my call personally. He offered to see me in one hour even though his offices were closed. This is ‘above and beyond’ patient care.

Patient
Dr. Shumway is the best dentist I have been to in my 67 year old life. I feel very comfortable being in his care and I am deathly afraid of dentists.

This was an outstanding experience and I could not have left happier. Excellent service. Would recommend them to friends, family, and anyone looking for a dentist.

I cracked an old filling and it was loose. Dr Shumway was able to get me in at the beginning of the next week. Employees are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them.
