Sports Guards and Night Guards

Custom Protection for Day and Night

Professional sports and night guards tailored to your bite.

Sports guards and night guards are custom-made, removable appliances designed to protect your teeth in very different but equally important ways. One helps protect you during activity, and the other protects you while you sleep.

Both are simple, preventive tools that can save your teeth from unnecessary damage and help you avoid more complex dental problems in the future.

Sports Guards

Professional Defense for Active Smiles

A sports guard is worn over your teeth during physical activity to help prevent injuries to the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw. They are especially important for anyone playing contact or high-impact sports, including hockey, football, basketball, martial arts, and more.

Even with helmets and other protective gear, the mouth is still vulnerable to sudden impacts. A properly fitted sports guard acts as a cushion, absorbing and distributing force to reduce the risk of broken teeth, cuts, and jaw injuries.

The Advantage of a Custom Fit

Benefits of a Custom Sports Guard

Protects teeth from chips, fractures, and complete tooth loss
Improves comfort compared to store-bought “boil and bite” guards
Reduces risk of cuts to lips, cheeks, and gums
Allows easier breathing and clearer speech during play
Helps cushion impacts to the jaw and lower face
Custom fit for better retention and stability during activity

Because they are custom-made, our sports guards are designed to feel comfortable, stay securely in place, and not interfere with your performance.

Night Guards

Stop the Damage from Teeth Grinding

A night guard is designed for patients who clench or grind their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. Many people are not even aware they are doing it until symptoms or damage appear.

Over time, grinding can place significant pressure on the teeth and jaw. This can lead to enamel wear, sensitivity, cracks, and even damage to existing dental work. It can also contribute to muscle tension and discomfort in the jaw and face.

Common signs of clenching or grinding include:

  • Worn or flattened teeth
  • Chipped or fractured teeth
  • Morning headaches
  • Jaw soreness or tightness
  • Earaches without infection
  • Facial or temple pain
  • Increased tooth sensitivity
Rest Easy with Lasting Protection

Benefits of a Custom Night Guard

Protects teeth from chips, fractures, and complete tooth loss
Can reduce morning headaches and facial tension
Reduces strain on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles
Protects existing dental work such as fillings and crowns
Helps prevent cracks, fractures, and enamel erosion
Provides a cushioned barrier between upper and lower teeth

By reducing pressure and creating a protective barrier, a night guard helps your jaw relax and protects your smile at the same time.
