Price of customised night guard for teeth grinding

Toothsmith

£130 seems very dear for the lab fee for a soft bite guard.

I would go back if it seems to be wearing quickly.

Thanks toothsmith, that's what I thought... am back tomorrow anyway so will take it with me then and ask.

Had one of these a few years ago but I lost it (used to wake up and find it on the pillow next to me. Very romantic)

Having just had a root canal plus another filling I am thinking of getting another one. My dentist (private) is good, have been going to him for nearly 8 years, but this morning he told me the approximate cost for a new guard would be about £600! Whew! He reckons I need another one and so do I - but is this price reasonable?
It would be for a hard night guard.

Would really appreciate any comments from the wonderful dentists on this forum.
Oh - dentist (and me) are in north London so London prices!

Hi, i have the same teeth grinding problem, i go through my guards really quickly so i did little research - there are companies out there who you can purchase directly from, instead of going through the dentist - i went through a website called night-guard, its a english company , i think it was around £40, it was exactly the same guard as i use to buy through my private dentist. they send out a kit for you to take your own impression. :T

I paid £60 for mine (mould and guard) as a private patient. It tends to last me about 6-9 months before I chew through it, and then it's £40 for a new one as I already have the mould
