What Are Night Guards?
The grinding of your teeth at night, also known as bruxism, is a common problem that affects many men and women. While the most prominent indicator is deterioration of the surface of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism might also lead to inflammation, headaches, and tooth pain, plus discomfort in your jaw and neck. To protect your mouth against the effects of bruxism, Dr. Sean Melton offers customized night guards that help defend your teeth while you sleep. Custom night guards are created with top-quality materials to fit comfortably in your mouth and help improve the nature of your sleep by reducing jaw clenching and teeth grinding. To learn more about custom night guards at Melton Dental, set up a consultation at our Helena, MT facility.
How Do Night Guards Work?
After Dr. Melton makes your bruxism diagnosis, he will obtain impressions and digital x-rays of your mouth so your custom night guard can be created. Next, he will send your information to a dental laboratory where your night guard will be created from the best materials. When your night guard is sent back to our office, you will return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Melton might make minor adjustments so your night guard fits comfortably. Dr. Melton will also give specific instructions on how to properly care for your night guard so it will last many years.

Melton Dental Reviews
Sean is very good, and he surrounds himself with classy assistants. He will work with his clients on challenging needs and is totally fair.
My first visit and what a great experience; despite the complexity of enhancing my smile and being in the chair 2 1/2 hours! Dr Melton snd his staff are top shelf. Professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I’ll post before and after photos when my dental work is complete.
This was the best customer service I have ever had! My son was getting senior pictures this weekend and was supposed to get teeth whitened Friday. A staff member got sick so need to reschedule, but Dr. Melton called a staff member (Lenny (who was amazing)) see if there was anyway someone could come in on Saturday. They came in on their day off to whiten my sons' teeth! She was so kind, excellent customer service, made us feel welcome! We will be back, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Melton Dental!
I have a great experience every time I go to my appointments - Dr. Melton is genuine and understanding, his staff is also very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend Melton Dental to anyone in town!
Everyone is so great and friendly. Would definitely recommend!
