About DenTek
DenTek traces back to 1984, when John Jansheski turned his dentist father's at-home tartar-removal device into a standalone oral care business. The company grew into a specialty oral care marketer known for floss picks, interdental brushes, tongue scrapers, dental repair kits, and dental guards for nighttime teeth grinding, with products sold in more than 30 countries and stocked across major U.S. retailers including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. Prestige Consumer Healthcare acquired DenTek in 2016, folding it into a broader oral care platform while keeping the DenTek name on shelf.
In our own testing, DenTek's Professional-Fit Dental Guard stood out in the boil-and-bite night guard category on the strength of its dual-layer construction: a soft EVA inner layer for a molded, comfortable fit paired with a rigid outer shell that resists wear from grinding. It has accumulated more than 24,000 verified Amazon reviews, the largest review base of any product we evaluated in the category, and the boil-and-bite molding process typically completes in under 10 minutes. DenTek backs the guard with a 6-month protection guarantee from the date of purchase, and it ships with a hard-sided storage case, a hygiene detail some lower-cost competitors skip.

DenTek Professional-Fit Dental Guard
The most-purchased night guard on Amazon in our review, with more than 24,000 verified reviews. Its dual-layer construction, a soft EVA inner layer plus a rigid outer shell, more closely mimics the material profile of a professional dental guard than the single-material designs most competitors use at this price. Boil-and-bite molding typically completes in under 10 minutes, and it's the only guard in our lineup that ships with a hard-sided ventilated storage case for between-use hygiene.
