Our advanced in-house fabrication capabilities allow Dr. Cokovska to create your custom night guard in hours or days rather than weeks, protecting your teeth from damage immediately.

Unlike lab fabricated guards where technicians never see you, Dr. Cokovska personally designs and fabricates your guard on-site, ensuring every detail meets her exacting standards for fit and function.

Instant Adjustments Available

If any refinements are needed, adjustments can be made immediately during your appointment rather than sending the guard back to an outside lab and waiting additional weeks.

Our Advanced Technology

In-house night guard fabrication is made possible by sophisticated dental technology integrated into our practice. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize advanced digital intraoral scanning to capture precise impressions of your teeth without messy materials or gagging. These highly accurate 3D models are immediately processed using CAD software that allows Dr. Cokovska to design your guard with exact specifications for your bite pattern and grinding severity.

Our state of the art milling system then fabricates the guard from premium dental grade materials right in our office. This complete digital workflow eliminates shipping delays, reduces appointment visits, and ensures exceptional accuracy. The result is a custom night guard that fits perfectly, provides maximum protection, and is ready when you need it.

Common Questions:

How long does it take to get my night guard with in-house fabrication?

Many patients receive their finished guard the same day as their appointment, typically within a few hours. Depending on your schedule and our production capacity that day, some guards may be ready the next day. Either way, you'll have your guard within 24 to 48 hours rather than waiting two to three weeks for lab fabrication.

 Is an in-house fabricated guard as good as one made by a lab?

 Absolutely. We use the same premium dental materials that commercial labs use, but with added advantages. Dr. Cokovska personally designs and oversees fabrication, our digital technology ensures exceptional precision, and you receive immediate fitting adjustments. Many patients find in-house guards superior because of the direct prosthodontist involvement and customization.

Can you make adjustments if the guard doesn't fit perfectly?

Yes, and that's one of the biggest advantages of in-house fabrication. Dr. Cokovska can make adjustments immediately during your appointment, refining the fit until it's perfect. With lab fabricated guards, adjustments often require sending the guard back and waiting additional weeks. Our process eliminates that frustration entirely.

How much does an in-house fabricated night guard cost?

Pricing is comparable to traditional lab fabricated custom guards, but you receive added value through same-day service, direct prosthodontist attention, and the convenience of fewer appointments. Our team will provide detailed cost information during your consultation and can discuss payment options or insurance coverage.
