Protects Enamel
A cushioned barrier keeps grinding from wearing down, chipping, or cracking your teeth while you sleep.
Night Guards
in Oceanside, CA
Waking up with a sore jaw, worn teeth, or nagging headaches? A custom night guard in Oceanside, CA, cushions your teeth from the clenching and grinding that so often happen during sleep. At California Coast Dental Arts, we make a comfortable, great-fitting guard that protects your smile and helps you rest easier.
Why Should I Choose Night Guards?
A night guard is a custom-fit appliance you wear while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, a common habit known as bruxism. Made from a precise scan of your mouth, it creates a smooth, cushioned barrier that keeps your upper and lower teeth from wearing each other down. Beyond saving your enamel, a well-made guard can ease the jaw tension, morning headaches, and tooth sensitivity that grinding often causes. Many people grind in their sleep without realizing it, so a guard is a simple way to prevent lasting damage.
The Benefits of Night Guards
Eases Jaw Tension
By softening the force of clenching, a guard can relieve the sore jaw and morning headaches that come with grinding.
Better Sleep
A comfortable, custom fit lets you rest without the disruption that clenching and jaw tension can bring.
Saves Your Smile
Preventing grinding damage now helps you avoid the cost of fillings, crowns, or other repairs later on.
Our Difference
Custom, Not Bulky
Store guards are one-size-fits-all and often uncomfortable. Ours are built from a precise scan of your mouth, so they fit well and are easy to sleep in.
Backed by Experience
Dr. Granger understands grinding and jaw tension well and tailors each guard to your bite, at a practice that has served Oceanside since 2005.
Restful Comfort
Getting fitted is quick and easy, with warm blankets, headphones, and ceiling TVs, and your finished guard is designed to feel comfortable all night long.
Straightforward Pricing
We tell you the cost of your guard up front, help you use any insurance benefits, and offer flexible financing through Sunbit to keep things simple.
The Night Guards Process
From your first visit to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Book a ConsultationQuick Chat
Dr. Granger asks about your symptoms, checks your teeth for signs of grinding, and confirms a guard is right for you.

We capture a fast, comfortable scan of your teeth with our intraoral scanner, with no messy putty involved.
Custom Crafting
Your guard is made to match your bite precisely, balancing sturdy protection with a slim, comfortable feel.
Perfect Fit
Dr. Granger checks the finished guard, adjusts it as needed, and makes sure it feels secure and comfortable.
Simple Care
We show you how to wear, clean, and store your guard so it keeps protecting your smile for years.
Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
Signs You May Need Night Guards
Sore Jaw
Waking up with a tight, aching, or tired jaw is a classic sign of nighttime clenching and grinding.
Worn Teeth
Flattened, chipped, or increasingly sensitive teeth can point to grinding that is slowly wearing them down.
Morning Headaches
Frequent headaches or tension around your temples when you wake up are often linked to overnight clenching.
Disrupted Sleep
Grinding can interrupt your rest and your partner's, and a guard often helps everyone sleep more soundly.
You're in good company…
