Mouthguards
Custom-fitted sports protection that stays in place, allows you to breathe and speak, and actually gets worn.
A custom mouthguard is made from an impression of your teeth, so it fits closely without being bulky. That fit is the difference between a guard that protects and one that is left in a bag.
Guards are recommended for contact and collision sports, and for many recreational activities where a fall is possible.
Who this may help
- Children and adults playing contact sports
- Athletes who find stock guards uncomfortable
- Patients with orthodontic appliances
- Anyone with restored front teeth to protect
How treatment works

We check retention, comfort and breathing.
What to expect

Mouthguards: common questions
Is a custom mouthguard worth it over a store-bought one?
A custom guard fits your teeth precisely, which improves both protection and comfort — and a comfortable guard is the one that actually gets worn.
