Sleep Guards in Houston, TX
Waking up with jaw soreness, headaches, or worn-down teeth? A custom sleep guard from Muse Dental Studio in Houston, TX, protects your smile from the damage of nighttime grinding and clenching. A sleep guard, also called a night guard, is designed to fit your bite precisely, so it's comfortable enough to actually wear.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Sleep Guards?
A sleep guard, also known as a night guard, is a custom-fit appliance you wear while you sleep to cushion your teeth and relax your jaw. Many people grind or clench their teeth at night, a condition called bruxism, often without knowing it. Over time that pressure wears down enamel, cracks teeth, and strains the jaw joint. A sleep guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, easing that force and preventing long-term damage. Unlike bulky drugstore guards, a custom sleep guard is made from a precise scan of your mouth for a secure, comfortable fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (713) 781-6873.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit is simple. We start with a consultation to understand your symptoms, take a quick digital scan of your teeth, and take your bite. From there we craft your custom sleep guard and fit it at a short follow-up visit.
How much does a sleep guard cost?
A custom sleep guard is $1,400, which includes your consultation, digital scan, and bite. Many dental plans offer some coverage, we offer financing, and our team will review everything with you before we begin.
How is a custom sleep guard better than a store-bought one?
Drugstore guards are one-size-fits-all, so they're often bulky, loose, and uncomfortable, which means people stop wearing them. A custom sleep guard from Muse Dental Studio is made from a precise scan of your teeth for a secure, comfortable fit you'll actually keep using.
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Many people grind in their sleep without realizing it. Common clues are morning jaw soreness, frequent headaches, worn or sensitive teeth, or a partner who hears grinding at night. Dr. Tatari can confirm it by examining your teeth and bite.
How long does a sleep guard last?
With good care, a custom sleep guard typically lasts several years. We'll show you how to clean and store it, and check its condition at your regular visits.
Can a sleep guard help with TMJ pain?
Often, yes. By easing clenching and relaxing the jaw, a sleep guard can reduce the strain that contributes to TMJ discomfort. Dr. Tatari may recommend it as part of a broader TMJ treatment plan.
