Mouthguards and Night Guards
Mouthguards provide protection to teeth, lips, mouth, and jaw. We strongly recommend mouthguards for kids who play sports—especially contact sports—and kids who are starting to get their permanent teeth but are still grinding their teeth.

Mouthguards and Night Guards
A mouthguard is essential for every athlete in contact sports and physical activities, regardless of age. It softens impacts and can prevent serious injuries that could cause expensive and painful oral health issues. Our mouthguards are custom-made from lightweight materials, ensuring they are comfortable, effective, and do not interfere with your regular breathing or speaking.
Night guards are similar to mouthguards but are worn while sleeping to prevent damage caused by bruxism. Bruxism is a disorder that can cause people to unknowingly clench and grind their teeth while asleep. Untreated, it can result in tooth fractures, breakages, headaches, and jaw pain.
We offer same-day appointments for custom night guards. Book your appointment now.
