At Revive Dentistry, we offer custom Night Guards in Orange City, FL to help protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. Personalized for a comfortable fit, night guards can help reduce wear and support long-term oral health.
You wake up to a dull headache, a tight jaw, and teeth that feel strangely sensitive to your morning coffee. It’s a common way to start the day for people across Orange City who clench or grind their teeth at night without ever realizing it’s happening.
At Revive Dentistry, Dr. Omid Khezri and our team help patients throughout Orange City and West Volusia County protect their smiles with custom night guards built to stop nightly damage before it takes a real toll. As part of our broader approach to preventive dental care, we look past the surface symptoms and address the underlying cause, so your teeth, jaw, and sleep can all recover together.
Teeth grinding, known clinically as bruxism, is far more common than most people think. A clinical review published through the National Library of Medicine’s StatPearls collection notes that sleep-related grinding affects roughly 8% to 10% of adults, and it frequently happens without the person ever waking during an episode. The exact cause can vary from patient to patient, but stress, an irregular bite, and disrupted sleep patterns are among the most common contributors, and many patients are surprised to learn that a habit they associate with anxiety can also show up purely as a physical, nighttime reflex.
Left unaddressed, this repetitive pressure wears down enamel, cracks teeth, loosens restorations, and leaves the jaw muscles sore and fatigued each morning. Since most grinding happens while you’re asleep, the first clue is often something you notice after the fact rather than in the moment.
Watch for the following signs, and mention any of them at your next visit so we can determine whether a night guard is the right next step for you:
If any of these sound familiar, a simple conversation with our team can help confirm what’s happening and go through your options before the wear becomes more difficult, or more costly, to reverse.
It’s tempting to pick up a generic guard from the pharmacy, but bulky, one-size-fits-all designs often don’t fit your bite properly, which can cause you to remove the guard in your sleep without even realizing it. In some cases an ill-fitting guard can actually encourage more clenching rather than less, since your jaw muscles keep working to find a stable resting position. Store-bought guards also tend to be made from thick, generic material that isn’t shaped to the specific contours of your teeth, which can make them feel awkward enough that many patients simply stop wearing them within a few weeks.
A custom night guard from Revive Dentistry is built around the exact shape of your teeth and the way your jaw naturally comes together, so it stays comfortably in place and actually does its job through the night. Dr. Khezri is meticulous and unhurried throughout every step of this process, from the initial exam through the digital impressions we capture with our in-office dental technology. That same attention to detail carries into the fit and adjustment of your finished guard, which is fabricated from a durable, dentist-grade material designed to hold up night after night without feeling bulky or restrictive.
Getting fitted for a night guard at our Orange City office starts with a conversation. Dr. Khezri will ask about your symptoms, take a look at your teeth for telltale signs of wear, and talk through your daily habits and stress levels, since understanding the cause helps guide the right solution. From there, we capture a precise digital scan of your bite, which is sent off to be fabricated into your personalized guard.
Once your guard is ready, you’ll come back for a fitting appointment where Dr. Khezri checks the way it sits against your teeth and makes any small adjustments needed for comfort. He believes patients do better when they understand their own care, so he’ll walk you through how to clean and store your guard, what to expect during the first few nights of wear, and when to come back in for a checkup to make sure everything still fits the way it should.
Dr. Omid Khezri is the founder of Revive Dentistry and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2016. He holds a Fellowship credential (500+ post-doctoral continuing education hours) and a Mastership through the Academy of Implant Prosthetics, which covers both the surgical and prosthetic phases of implant care. Before dentistry he taught high school for two years, and he brings that same explain-everything approach to every consultation.

Dr. Khezri believes in treating the whole person, not just the tooth in front of him. Before recommending any major treatment, he makes sure the foundational health of your gums and teeth is solid, and he takes the time to explain what he’s seeing and why, often walking patients through their own X-rays so they understand their care rather than simply being told what to do next. Families throughout Orange City, DeBary, DeLand, and Deltona have come to appreciate that level of transparency, especially for something as easy to dismiss as a sore jaw or a worn tooth.
