Custom Sports Mouthguards for Athletes
A sports mouthguard is an essential piece of equipment for anyone involved in contact or high-impact sports. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom mouthguard is designed to fit perfectly, offering superior comfort and protection.
Who Needs a Sports Mouthguard?
We recommend sports mouthguards for:
- Athletes in contact sports like football, hockey, basketball, and soccer
- Individuals participating in high-impact activities such as skateboarding, gymnastics, or martial arts
- Patients with braces or dental work who need extra protection from impact
A properly fitted mouthguard absorbs shock and pressure, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth as well as jaw injuries and concussions.

Night Guards for Teeth Grinding & TMJ Relief
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be grinding your teeth at night—a condition known as bruxism. Over time, untreated grinding can lead to:
- Tooth fractures & enamel erosion
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Jaw pain & TMJ disorders
- Tension headaches & facial discomfort
A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure and preventing long-term damage.

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard Over a Store-Bought One?
While store-bought mouthguards may seem convenient, they often fit poorly and provide inadequate protection. A custom mouthguard offers:
- A precise fit for superior comfort and effectiveness
- Better protection against impact and grinding-related wear
- Increased durability compared to boil-and-bite options
- Easier breathing and speaking for athletes
Our custom mouthguards are made from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring long-lasting protection tailored to your bite.
The Process: Getting a Custom Sports or Night Guard
- Consultation & Impression – We take digital or physical impressions of your teeth to create a perfect fit.
- Custom Fabrication – Your guard is crafted from high-quality, durable materials designed for long-term use.
- Final Fitting & Adjustments – Once your guard is ready, we ensure it fits comfortably and provides optimal protection.
Most patients receive their custom mouthguard within 1-2 weeks after the initial impression.
