How Much Does a Custom Night Guard Cost?

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a night guard is one of the best ways to protect your teeth from damage. But before buying, most people ask the same question:

How much does a custom night guard cost?

The price can vary dramatically depending on where you buy it. A custom night guard from a dentist can cost several hundred dollars, while online dental labs like Clear Comfort Night Guards offer the same dentist-quality protection for a fraction of the cost.

Below is a clear breakdown of the true cost of night guards so you can choose the option that protects your teeth without overpaying.

Average Custom Night Guard Cost

Custom night guard prices typically fall into three categories.

The biggest difference between these options is fit, durability, and long-term protection.

Cost of a Night Guard from the Dentist

A dentist-made night guard usually costs $300 to $800 or more, depending on the dental office and whether insurance covers part of the cost.

The process typically includes:

1. Dental exam
2. Teeth impressions taken in the office
3. Guard fabrication by a dental lab
4. Follow-up fitting appointment

However, many people are surprised to learn that dentists do not usually make the night guard themselves. The impressions are typically sent to a professional dental lab for fabrication.

That extra dental office overhead is a major reason why dentist night guards cost so much.

Cost of a Custom Night Guard from Clear Comfort Night Guards

Clear Comfort Night Guards offers dentist-quality custom night guards made by professional dental technicians, but sold directly online.

Because the guards are ordered directly from the dental lab, customers can skip the expensive dental office visit.

Here are the current prices available on the Clear Comfort website:

These guards are custom-made using your dental impressions, just like those provided by many dentists.

That means you receive:

• Dentist-quality materials
• Custom dental lab fabrication
• Precise fit based on your bite
• Professional protection against grinding

— all at a fraction of the cost of a dental office night guard.

Cost of Store-Bought Night Guards

The cheapest option is a store-bought boil-and-bite night guard, usually priced between $20 and $50.

While they may seem convenient, they have several downsides:

• Bulky fit
• Poor bite alignment
• Limited durability
• Weak protection against grinding pressure

Because they are not custom-fitted to your teeth, they often wear out quickly and may not provide adequate protection for moderate or severe grinding.

Why Custom Night Guards Are Worth the Cost

Teeth grinding can cause serious dental damage over time, including:

• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Worn enamel
• Tooth sensitivity
• Jaw pain and TMJ strain
• Damage to crowns, veneers, or implants

A properly fitted custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your teeth, preventing this damage from happening.

Considering that repairing a cracked tooth or crown can cost thousands of dollars, investing in a custom night guard is often the most affordable preventative solution.

Clear Comfort Night Guards has been fabricating night guards for dentists for over a decade before offering them directly to consumers.
