What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are custom-fitted dental appliances worn over the teeth while you sleep to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching. Grinding and clenching can lead to various dental issues, including tooth wear, fractures, and jaw pain.
Why Use a Night Guard?
Prevention of Tooth Damage: Night guards protect your teeth from the excessive wear and damage caused by grinding.
Reduction of Jaw Pain: Night guards help alleviate the pressure and pain in the jaw joints (TMJ) caused by clenching.
Improved Sleep Quality: By preventing grinding and clenching, night guards can contribute to a more restful night’s sleep.
Customized Fit: Our custom night guards are designed to fit comfortably and securely, providing optimal protection without discomfort.
The Night Guard Process
- Initial Consultation: Our skilled dentists will evaluate your symptoms and examine your teeth and jaw to determine if a night guard is right for you.
- Custom Digital Scanning or Impressions: We will take accurate digital scans or precise impressions of your teeth to create a perfectly fit night guard.
- Fabrication: Your custom night guard will be crafted using high-quality materials to ensure durability and comfort.

What Are Sports Mouth Guards?
Sports mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth during athletic activities to prevent dental injuries. They are essential for contact sports such as football, hockey, basketball, and any activity with a risk of impact to the mouth.
Why Use a Sports Mouth Guard?
Protection Against Injuries: Mouth guards shield your teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums from injury during sports activities.
Prevention of Dental Trauma: They help prevent broken or chipped teeth and injuries to the tongue and soft tissues.
Improved Performance: A well-fitted mouth guard allows you to breathe and speak easily, ensuring optimal performance on the field or court.
Custom Fit: Our custom sports mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and stay in place, providing maximum protection without hindering your performance.
