 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve never been happier with staff or a dentist (Dr. Philips) than here, in 30 years. Zero complaints and felt they went above and beyond since the first day I stepped in the office.

Being from out of town and working they understood and took great care of me explaining everything along the way. I really enjoyed the service/experience. I hope it's ok that I recommend your business for anyone who is from out of town and working in the area. Thanks again.

Dr Mike and his assistant Carrie were absolutely fantastic and such a blast to talk to them. The receptionists were extremely sweet as well and called me the next day to ask how I was feeling. Overall a great experience at this clinic and I will definitely be going back to receive any future treatment. 10/10.

Dr. Hoben was aware and he was very supportive. I’ve had a few visits this month and it’s been very positive. I highly recommend Dr. Hoben.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Petrolia September 2022. Petrolia dentistry was fantastic! I saw Dr. Rebecca Phillips. She conducted a very thorough examination of my teeth, jaw, mouth, gums, etc. We discussed a few options for some of my dental needs. She was very knowledgeable and offered reasonable options for me. She answered all my questions and concerns. I was very pleased with everything and have follow up appointments coming up. So far, excellent impression.
I’ve had several cleanings since. All the hygienists are professional and knowledgeable.  They always try to accommodate appointment times.
This year Dr. Hoban performed a dental implant on my lower left jaw. It’s always a process with several appointments and follow ups needed. Everything was thoroughly explained to me from A-Z. The process proceeded as planned. Everything went smoothly and am happy with the results of the implant. I have one more to do next year.
The only negative thing I can think of is that they are not open very early or any late hours during the week, or Saturdays. It’s basically normal business hours, so I had to take time off from work for appointments.
I highly recommend Petrolia dentistry for your dental needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Dental Experience I've ever had in 47 years. I used to avoid getting my teeth cleaned because I found it painful and unpleasant. Amy changed that. She was gentle, kind, funny and thorough in her explanations and the cleaning was swift and painless. Dr. Hoban is wonderful and supportive in every way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr. Hoben is a skilled and compassionate dentist who explained my treatment options thoroughly. The staff is friendly and attentive, making me feel valued as a patient. The facility is modern and well-maintained. I highly recommend Petrolia Dentistry for excellent dental care. Thank you, Dr. Hoben and team!

What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep. It’s a common but serious condition that can lead to:

Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth until symptoms appear — or a partner notices the sound at night.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

Sore jaw or stiffness in the morning
Frequent headaches, especially after waking
Flattened or chipped teeth
Tooth sensitivity
Clicking or popping jaw joints
Interrupted sleep or tension in face muscles

If you recognize any of these symptoms, a custom dental night guard may be the simple, effective solution.

How Custom Night Guards Help

A professionally made night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and reducing pressure on your jaw muscles and joints.

Benefits of a Custom Night Guard:

At Petrolia Dentistry, every guard is custom-designed from digital scans — ensuring superior fit, comfort, and durability compared to store-bought versions.

Our Digital Night Guard Process

Comprehensive Evaluation

We start by assessing your bite, jaw alignment, and muscle tension using digital imaging and CT scans. This helps determine whether your bruxism is stress-related, bite-related, or linked to TMJ dysfunction.

Digital Impressions

No messy molds! We use CEREC digital scanning technology to capture a 3D model of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit.

Custom Guard Fabrication

Your night guard is milled or printed with high-quality dental-grade materials, offering long-lasting protection and comfort.

Fitting & Adjustment

We check the guard’s fit and make fine adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and secure.

Review & Maintenance

We’ll show you how to care for your guard and recommend follow-up visits to monitor wear and comfort over time.

Night Guards for Bruxism FAQs

How long do custom night guards last?

With proper care, most guards last 3–5 years before replacement is needed.

Can a night guard help with jaw pain or TMJ?

Yes — our guards are designed to relieve pressure on the TMJ and muscles that cause tension and pain.

Can I use my sports mouthguard as a night guard?

No — sports mouthguards are made for impact protection, not the continuous grinding forces of bruxism.

Will my insurance cover a night guard?

Most plans and CDCP provide partial or full coverage for medically necessary guards.

How do I clean my night guard?

Rinse daily, brush gently with mild soap, and store it in a dry case. Avoid hot water, which can warp the guard.
