Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable and great at her craft as well. Could not recommend J&D Dental more highly.

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

Why should I get a custom mouthguard instead of a store-bought one?

Custom mouthguards offer a personalized fit, providing superior comfort and protection compared to store-bought options. Unlike boil-and-bite guards, they are designed specifically for your teeth and won't slip or cause discomfort. Dr. Herbert's custom guards fit snugly and protect against injuries, jaw pain, and enamel erosion. With proper care, they last longer and provide more reliable protection.

How does a custom mouthguard protect against dental injuries?

A custom mouthguard cushions your teeth and jaw, reducing the risk of damage during sports or from nighttime grinding. It absorbs shock and distributes force evenly, preventing chipped or cracked teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage. Dr. Herbert ensures the guard fits perfectly to maximize protection and comfort. Wearing it consistently can help you avoid costly dental repairs.

Can a mouthguard help with teeth grinding?

Yes, a custom mouthguard (often called a nightguard) can prevent damage caused by grinding or clenching your teeth. It forms a protective barrier that cushions your teeth and reduces stress on your jaw. Dr. Herbert will design the guard to fit comfortably while minimizing enamel wear and jaw pain. Wearing it nightly helps prevent long-term damage and relieves symptoms of bruxism.
