Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?
A custom mouth guard is made from an impression or digital scan of your teeth, allowing it to fit securely and comfortably.
Because it fits precisely, a custom guard provides significantly better protection than store-bought alternatives. It stays in place during activity, allows for easier breathing and speaking, and helps absorb the force of impacts that could otherwise damage your teeth, gums, jaw, or supporting bone.
Whether you're protecting your smile during sports or while you sleep, a professionally fitted mouth guard offers peace of mind and long-term protection.
Many sports place athletes at risk of dental injuries.
Hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, martial arts, lacrosse, rugby, and many other recreational activities can result in accidental impacts to the face and mouth.
A custom sports mouth guard helps protect against:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Lip and cheek injuries
- Jaw injuries
- Damage to existing dental work
Many leagues recommend or require mouth guards, but even when they aren't mandatory, they're one of the simplest ways to protect your smile.
We provide custom sports mouth guards for both children and adults.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
Not all mouth guards are worn during sports.
Many people unconsciously grind or clench their teeth while sleeping, a condition known as bruxism. Over time, this habit can wear down enamel, crack teeth, damage dental restorations, cause jaw discomfort, and contribute to chronic headaches.
A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure while you sleep and helping preserve your natural teeth.
If you regularly wake with jaw soreness, headaches, or notice increased tooth wear, a night guard may be an excellent solution.
The Benefits of a Professional Mouth Guard
Custom mouth guards offer several important advantages over store-bought products.
Because they're made specifically for your mouth, they fit comfortably without feeling bulky or loose. They're fabricated using durable, professional-grade materials designed to withstand years of use while providing reliable protection.
Patients often find custom guards much easier to wear, making them more likely to use them consistently.
Protecting your teeth today may help prevent expensive restorative treatment in the future.
What to Expect
Getting a custom mouth guard is quick and straightforward.
Your appointment begins with a consultation to determine whether you need a sports mouth guard or a night guard. We’ll then take precise impressions or digital scans of your teeth so your appliance can be custom fabricated.
Once your mouth guard is ready, you’ll return for a fitting where we’ll ensure it feels comfortable, fits securely, and provides the protection you need.
Most patients receive their custom mouth guard within one to two weeks.
Caring for Your Mouth Guard
With proper care, a custom mouth guard can provide protection for many years.
We recommend rinsing it after each use and cleaning it regularly with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Store it in a protective ventilated case and avoid exposing it to excessive heat, which may cause it to lose its shape.
Bring your mouth guard with you during your routine dental visits so we can check its condition and confirm it continues to fit properly.
