Mouthguards

Occlusal Mouthguard

An occlusal mouthguard protects the surface of your teeth, and prevents the teeth from damage due to grinding. This helps patients that suffer from bruxism or teeth clenching. Occlusal guards are made out of a hard acrylic plastic, and are durable in order to be able to withstand teeth grinding. Our mouthguards are custom made to fit your mouth, do not cause irritation, and are comfortable when worn. Occlusal mouthguards allow you to sleep soundly while protecting your teeth.

Sports Mouthguard

Sports mouthguards are made of a softer material, and this is so the guard can absorb a blow or sudden impact. Sports mouthguards cover not only the surface of your teeth, but they also cover your gums. Custom made sports mouthguards are fit perfectly to your mouth, and are comfortable when worn during your favorite sports. Our custom guards allow your athlete to still talk or communicate, but provide outstanding protection from injury.
