Custom Guards for
Every Need

Custom-fitted night guards for bruxism and sport guards for athletes — precision-made protection that off-the-shelf products simply cannot match.

Why Protection Matters

Protect Your Teeth
Day and Night

Your teeth are irreplaceable — and both bruxism (teeth grinding) and sports injuries can cause permanent, expensive damage. A custom-fitted guard is the most effective, comfortable, and durable protection available.

Unlike store-bought alternatives, our guards are made from precision impressions of your teeth — fitting securely, protecting effectively, and lasting for years.

Signs of Bruxism

  • Waking with jaw pain or headaches
  • Worn, chipped, or flattened teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Tight or sore jaw muscles
  • Your partner hears you grinding at night
  • Cracked dental restorations
Custom night guard and sport guard fitting
Two Types of Protection

Guards Built for Your Life

Night Guards (Occlusal Guards)

Custom-fitted hard or soft-hard hybrid appliances worn during sleep to protect teeth from the forces of grinding and clenching. Far more effective than over-the-counter guards — designed from a precise impression of your bite and adjusted for your specific grinding pattern.

Sport Guards (Mouthguards)

Mandatory for contact sports — and valuable for any activity with collision risk. Custom sport guards distribute impact forces across the entire jaw, reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw fractures, and concussion. Athletes consistently report better retention, comfort, and protection compared to boil-and-bite alternatives.

The Custom Difference

Why Choose a Custom Guard

Custom Fit

Precision-made from impressions of your teeth — fits perfectly and stays in place during sleep or sport.

Durable Materials

Hard acrylic or dual-laminate materials that last 3–5 years even with heavy use.

Reduce Jaw Pain

Night guards distribute clenching forces across all teeth, reducing the strain on jaw muscles and joints.

Protect Existing Work

If you have crowns, veneers, or implants, a night guard is particularly important — grinding destroys expensive restorations.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does a night guard last?

3–5 years on average, though heavy grinders may wear through one sooner. Bring it to every check-up so we can assess its condition.

Can I use a boil-and-bite guard instead?

You can, but the protection and comfort is significantly inferior. Custom guards fit precisely — they're more comfortable, more protective, and because of that, more likely to actually be worn consistently.

Do I need a prescription for a night guard?

No — but they must be made from impressions of your teeth. Drop in or call to book a quick impression appointment. Most guards are ready within 1–2 weeks.
