Why choose a custom mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is made from an exact impression of your teeth, so it fits snugly, stays in place, and is comfortable enough to actually wear. Compared to boil-and-bite guards from the store, custom guards offer better protection, easier breathing and speaking, and a longer lifespan.
Types of mouthguards we make
- Sports mouthguards — protect teeth, lips, and jaw during contact and recreational sports.
- Night guards — cushion the teeth if you grind or clench (bruxism) while you sleep.
- Bite splints — help relieve jaw tension and TMJ-related discomfort.
Signs you may grind your teeth
Many people grind or clench without realizing it. Watch for morning jaw soreness or headaches, worn or flattened teeth, increased sensitivity, or a partner who hears grinding at night. A custom night guard protects your teeth and eases the strain.
Protecting young athletes
If your child plays sports, a custom mouthguard is one of the simplest ways to prevent a knocked-out or broken tooth. We can fit growing smiles and remake guards as needed.

Frequently asked questions
Off-the-shelf guards are bulky and fit loosely, so they protect less and are harder to keep in. A custom guard is molded to your teeth for a better, more comfortable fit.
If you wake with jaw soreness or headaches, notice worn teeth, or have been told you grind at night, a night guard can protect your teeth and ease the strain.
With proper care, a night guard often lasts several years. Sports guards may need replacing sooner, especially for growing kids.
