It is estimated by the American Dental Association that mouthguards prevent approximately 200,000 injuries each year in high school and collegiate football alone.
Properly diagnosed, designed and custom fit mouthguards are essential in the prevention of athletic oral and facial injuries. If your child plays sports or other similar activities, mouth guards are a great way to protect them from concussions and their teeth from potential injury. Norman Dental offers custom made mouthguards for your children that fit properly, are comfortable, resilient, and tasteless and cause minimal interference with speaking and breathing. They are easy to clean and come in many color combinations.

Snore Guard® is clinically proven to help eliminate the problem of snoring. The comfortable design aligns your jaw in a comfortable forward position keeping your airway open and clear, so you and your spouse can get a great night's rest.
Snore Guard® is an intra-oral (in the mouth) device used only during sleep. It helps prevent the jaw and tongue from dropping back into the throat and restricting the air passage. Keeping the air-way open greatly reduces snoring. Snore Guard® is professionally fitted at Norman Dental. It has a unique inner lining that is softened by heat during the fitting process (similar to custom athletic mouth guards). The unit is custom fit to your individual needs. It fits snugly over your teeth while you sleep and is designed to keep your lower jaw in a comfortable forward position. This keeps your airway open, helping to eliminate snoring and improve your quality of sleep.
Did you know that most Americans experience some form of periodontal disease? Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or gingivitis, is an infection of the supportive tissues of the mouth due to toxic bacteria found in plaque. If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in serious problems like tooth loss, infection and bad breath. Work with our team to guarantee the health of your gums and smile. After your periodontal health is assessed, our team conducts the appropriate treatment if needed.
Damage to your tooth’s inner nerve tissue sometimes requires a root canal procedure. With advancements in dentistry, most root canals are minimally uncomfortable, especially compared to the pain and discomfort you may be feeling before the procedure. Dr. Norman utilizes the latest technology and dental techniques making root canal procedures more effective and less painful while taking less time.
A root canal involves removing the soft tissue within the tooth – also called the pulp – when it has become infected and inflamed. Your dentist gently files the infected tissue out of the root canals of the tooth and fills the void with an inert material. The procedure is completed with the placement of a filling or in some cases, a crown.
Keeping your teeth is always the best and preferred solution. In the instance that one of your teeth cannot be saved, it may be recommended to extract the tooth. To ensure you are comfortable throughout your extraction, our team offers a variety of anesthesia and sedation. This extraction can be done at Norman Dental with your familiar team instead of referred to a specialist in the area.
Do you want your cavity filled, but still want your smile to look flawless? Tooth colored fillings are your answer! When the decay has been taken out of a tooth, it is replaced with “filling” material. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the tooth. With advancements in dentistry, you can now have tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings. You may even elect to remove your old silver fillings in favor of new, undetectable tooth-colored fillings.
Nightguard is a simple solution to protect your teeth and jaw from nighttime teeth grinding and the harmful results that can come from it. We provide you with a moldable plastic mouth guard to comfortably fit over your upper teeth. This guard creates a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, cushioning and absorbing the force and pressure of grinding. A Nightguard reduces clenching, grinding and TMJ problems by helping relax the muscles in the jaw. Get back to the relief of a good night’s sleep!
