Custom Sports Guards

Teeth are tough, but sometimes not tough enough to survive intense contact. Sports guards are an easy way to protect your teeth from impact, grinding, or even from accidental injury. Guards may help prevent teeth from getting broken, chipped or knocked out.  

Don’t let your game time get cut short by an emergency trip to the dentist. Invest in a well-fitted sports guard today.

Who needs Sports Guards?

Anyone, children or adults. A protective guard is recommended when participating in any type of contact sport, including hockey, basketball, football, baseball, soccer, rugby or lacrosse. A good rule of thumb, if you wear protective headgear for any sport or activity, you should also wear a sport guard. Protect your head, protect your mouth.  

What’s the process?

An impression or digital scan is taken of the upper jaw to create a mold specific to each person’s dentition.  We will us this mold to fabricate your sports guard out of durable plastic material. Taking an impression or digital scan is a quick and pain free process, usually completed in a 10 – 20 minute visit.
