Why is a night guard so expensive?
Night Guard fees reflect chair time, planning time, and complexity risk. Multi-visit treatments, temporary restorations, adjustments, and follow-up checks are often bundled into a single quoted amount even though the calendar spans weeks. A straightforward case may sit at the low end of typical ranges ($200–$800), while impacted anatomy, prior work, or add-on steps push toward the high end. Appointment length, assistant staffing, and doctor time are priced differently; emergency or after-hours access can add surcharges. ADA coding (D9944, D9945) sometimes splits one clinical story into several billable lines—extraction plus graft plus implant stage is a familiar pattern—so the total hours across phases matter. Offices also allocate non-clinical time for insurance narratives, lab communication, and remake risk. FairHealth averages smooth out that complexity; your quote may be higher if multiple stages are scheduled up front. Ask what is included in the quoted fee: temporaries, sedation, follow-up visits, and remakes are common variables. We report costs only; timing and sequencing questions belong with your dental team.
