How much does a night guard cost in London?

Night guards at Sure Smile Clinic London start from £180. Soft guards sit at the lower end; hard acrylic and dual-laminate splints for heavy grinders cost more.

Will a night guard stop me grinding?

It will not stop the habit, but it absorbs the force so your teeth, fillings and crowns stop wearing down, and it usually relieves muscle and jaw pain.

Is it uncomfortable to sleep in?

Most people adapt within a week or two. A custom guard is much slimmer and more stable than a shop-bought one, which makes it far easier to tolerate.

How long does a night guard last?

Typically two to five years depending on how heavily you grind. We check it at every examination for wear and holes.

Can I use a shop-bought guard instead?

Boil-and-bite guards are bulky, loosen quickly and can alter your bite. A custom splint fits precisely and protects far more reliably.

Types of splint

A soft guard suits mild grinding and is comfortable straight away. A hard acrylic splint is far more durable and better for heavy grinders. A dual-laminate guard combines a soft inner layer with a hard outer shell. We choose based on how much wear we can see, and on your comfort.

Beyond the guard

A splint protects teeth but does not stop the habit, so we also look at the triggers — stress, caffeine, alcohol, sleep quality and, importantly, snoring or sleep apnoea, which frequently coexists with grinding. Where relevant we discuss sleep appliances or onward referral.
