Night guard (bruxism) in Vaudreuil-Dorion
Our Vaudreuil-Dorion clinic on Harwood Boulevard assesses teeth grinding and makes custom night guards for patients from Vaudreuil, Dorion, Pincourt, L’Île-Perrot, Saint-Lazare, Hudson and Rigaud, with appointments Monday to Friday.
A well-adjusted guard protects your fillings, crowns and enamel, and often relieves the morning headaches and jaw tightness that come with clenching.

Night guard in Vaudreuil-Dorion: our approach
In Vaudreuil-Dorion, our dentists look at the wear patterns on your teeth and the tenderness of the jaw muscles before recommending the appliance, and they adjust it precisely at delivery. If botulinum toxin for the masseter muscles is an option, it can be discussed with our dentist who performs cosmetic injections.
How the appointment goes
Two visits: impressions or a digital scan with a bite record, then delivery and adjustment one to two weeks later. You receive instructions for wear and cleaning, and the guard is checked at your regular exams.
| Duration | 2 visits (impressions, then delivery) |
| Adaptation | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Lifespan | 3 to 10 years depending on the intensity of grinding |
Frequently asked questions: night guard in Vaudreuil-Dorion
Do I wear the night guard every night?
Yes. Grinding happens most nights, even when you are not aware of it; regular wear is what protects the teeth.
How long will the night guard last?
Three to ten years depending on the intensity of your grinding. The dentist checks it at each visit and tells you when it should be replaced.
Will the guard fix my jaw clicking?
It often reduces the muscle tension that contributes to clicking and pain. Persistent joint problems may need additional treatment, which the dentist will discuss.
Signs it is time to see us
- Headaches on waking, often at the temples
- Teeth sensitive to cold without a cavity
- Clicking or locking of the jaw joint
- A partner who hears you grinding at night
