Custom Fit Mouth Guards in Toronto
At Kingston Park Dental Centre, we offer options for professionally fitted mouth guards. If you or your child is involved in a contact sport such as hockey, baseball, lacrosse, soccer or self-defence a mouth guard is a necessary piece of equipment. A professionally created mouth guard will protect the teeth, gums and bone structure by moulding properly to your teeth during use.
Over the counter versions may prevent chipped or damaged teeth, but are not made to protect the important structures that support the teeth. If you or your children play sports get the protection you need from tooth loss, concussion and oral injuries. Contact our office to speak to Dr. Train about a custom mouth guard today.
Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?
Custom mouth guards are considered the gold standard for dental protection because they are designed based on the exact shape and structure of your teeth and bite. They offer several key advantages over store-bought options:
Custom guards are more effective at absorbing shock, reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and even concussions. They are also much more comfortable to wear, allowing for easier breathing and speaking during sports. Because they are fabricated from high-quality dental materials, they are more durable and can last through multiple seasons with proper care.
At Kingston Park Dental Centre, we take the time to understand your lifestyle, habits, and needs. Whether you’re a student athlete, an adult participating in recreational sports, or a parent looking to protect your child’s smile, our team ensures the mouth guard fits perfectly and performs reliably.
Sports Mouth Guards – For Safer Play
Accidental collisions, falls, or blows to the mouth are common in sports, and even one moment of impact can lead to a cracked tooth, gum injury, or worse. A custom sports mouth guard cushions the teeth and soft tissues of your mouth, acting as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth.
In Toronto, many youth and adult leagues now require certified mouth guards for participation. Even if not mandatory, using one is a smart investment in long-term dental health. A dental injury can be painful and costly, but a mouth guard can help you avoid emergency procedures or tooth loss altogether.
If you or your child is playing contact or impact sports, whether on the ice, field, or mat, protect your smile with a professional-grade mouth guard built to perform.
Night Guards for Grinding and Clenching
Custom mouth guards aren’t just for athletes. Many people suffer from bruxism, the unconscious habit of grinding or clenching their teeth during sleep. This condition can lead to enamel wear, tooth fractures, gum recession, jaw pain, and even chronic headaches.
A custom-fit night guard acts as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep, preventing damage caused by pressure and friction. At Kingston Park Dental Centre, we fabricate night guards that are slim, comfortable, and easy to wear, helping you sleep better while preserving your smile.
If you often wake up with sore jaws, tension headaches, or notice flattened or chipped teeth, it may be time to speak with our team about a protective night guard.
The Process of Getting a Custom Mouth Guard
Getting a custom mouth guard at our Toronto dental clinic is simple, fast, and completely tailored to you. Here’s what to expect:
Your visit begins with a consultation to determine your needs, whether for sports or bruxism. We then take a digital scan or impression of your mouth. This allows us to create a precise mold that reflects the unique shape of your teeth and bite. The mouth guard is fabricated using professional-grade material that is both comfortable and durable. Once ready, you’ll return for a fitting where we ensure the guard fits snugly, comfortably, and securely. Adjustments are made if needed.
Most patients receive their custom mouth guard within one to two weeks from the initial appointment.
Caring for Your Mouth Guard
To keep your mouth guard clean and effective, we recommend rinsing it before and after each use. Brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap (not toothpaste) and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid leaving it in hot environments like a car, as heat can warp its shape. Bring your guard with you during your routine check-ups so we can inspect it for wear and ensure it still fits properly.
With proper care, your custom mouth guard can last several seasons or years, depending on how frequently it’s used.
