Get the Best Fit with a Custom Dental Mouth Guard
A mouth guard is a protective device that helps prevent injuries to your teeth, gums, lips, and jaw—especially during physical activity or for those who grind or clench their teeth.
While over-the-counter options like boil-and-bite or stock mouth guards are available, they offer limited comfort and protection. Stock guards are pre-formed and often poorly fitting, which can affect breathing and swallowing. Boil-and-bite guards provide a slightly better fit but still lack durability and comfort.
We recommend custom mouth guards for the best protection, fit, and comfort—tailored specifically to your mouth for effective injury prevention.


Store-Bought vs Custom-Fit Mouth Guards
There are a variety of options available to patients who are looking to protect their teeth during sleep or physical activity. However, patients are left wondering what the difference is between store-bought and custom fit mouth guards. Store-bought mouth guards are mass-produced, which means that a generic form is taken to ensure it can fit a multitude of shapes. Although these mouth guards come ready to use, they may not fit every patient the same due to the different sizes and shapes of our mouths. Wearing an improperly fitted mouth guard could potentially cause more harm than not wearing one at all as the store-bought mouth guards are made from soft plastic, which is thin.
Thin plastic prevents the mouth guards from staying in the same shape for long periods of time. Typically, these store-bought mouth guards need to be replaced every 90-days or after 40-uses. Custom-fit mouth guards are made by a dental professional through impressions and measurements to ensure accuracy. They are made from thermoplastic which is far more durable than store-bought plastic. Since they are custom-fit pieces, they will fit much more comfortably. These custom mouth guards also last 3-4-times longer than the store-bought kind.
Sports Guards
If you participate in contact sports or physical activities, wearing a sports guard is essential to protect your teeth, jaw, and face from injury—regardless of age.
We recommend sports guards for activities like football, rugby, hockey, basketball, weightlifting, and also for baseball, soccer, cricket, skateboarding, cycling, and track.
Sports guards help cushion blows, reduce impact to the chin, and protect soft tissues. Choose one that fits securely, allows normal breathing, provides full coverage, and is odor-free for maximum comfort and protection.
Night Guards
Many patients unknowingly suffer from bruxism—nighttime teeth grinding or clenching—which can cause headaches, TMD, tooth sensitivity, and damaged teeth. If left untreated, it may lead to enamel wear, tooth fractures, or even tooth loss.
Once diagnosed, wearing a night guard can help protect your teeth and relieve tension.

Custom guards are the most effective long-term solution.
