Dental Appliances
Night guards, retainers, and other appliances tailored to protect your teeth and bite.
We custom-fit sports guards, night guards, and snore guards in a single visit. No needles, no drugs, no lab work or X-rays needed.
A flexible plastic guard that absorbs impact during sports, protecting teeth and dental work like crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants from a single hard blow.
Grinding or clenching at night, often called bruxism, wears teeth and can lead to facial or neck muscle soreness and TMJ / TMD symptoms. A custom night guard fits over the teeth to cushion the bite, reduce damage, and help position the teeth properly.
A small, comfortable mouthpiece that helps with snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. No masks, hoses, or batteries. It is sterile thermoplastic that cleans with a toothbrush.
Snoring can disrupt sleep and can also be a symptom of sleep apnea. We evaluate whether an oral appliance is appropriate for your needs.
The specialists leading your care.
Dr. Adrina DeVitre
DMD · General Dentist
Dr. Adrina DeVitre grew up watching her parents, both dentists, caring for patients. From the age of 11, she'd go into the office with her mother on weekends and assist in small ways. It was then she began noticing and appreciating the delicate touch required for dental work and the compassion her mother had for her patients. At 14, she began helping out on the administrative side, where she developed a sense of responsibility and professionalism that she carried with her into her own career. Before long, Dr. DeVitre came to realize the dental field was more than just the family business. It became her passion.
