Custom Gum Shield in İzmir, Turkey
Custom-fitted protective guards to prevent teeth grinding and jaw problems.
Overview
Custom gum shields, also known as night guards or occlusal guards, are protective appliances designed to prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching. At Atlas Dental Clinic, we create precisely fitted gum shields from durable, comfortable materials. Whether you need protection during sleep or for sports activities, our custom guards provide superior fit and protection compared to over-the-counter options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a custom guard better than a drugstore guard?
Custom guards fit precisely to your teeth, providing better protection, comfort, and durability. They don't shift during sleep and don't cause gagging.
How long do gum shields last?
With proper care, custom guards typically last 3-5 years. Heavy grinders may need replacement sooner.
Will I be able to sleep with a guard?
Yes! Most patients adapt within a few nights. Custom guards are thin and comfortable, much easier to tolerate than store-bought versions.
How do I clean my gum shield?
Rinse after each use, brush gently with toothpaste, and store in a ventilated case. Periodically clean with denture cleaner.
