Mouthguards and Night Guards

Whether your teeth need protecting while being active and playing sports, or from grinding while you sleep, a dental mouthguard can help. Our team is here to find you the guard that meets your needs and keeps your smile intact.

Dental Mouthguards to Protect Your Teeth

Mouthguards are essential devices that prevent serious oral health problems caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) or external trauma. We make our dental mouthguards and night guards to offer maximum protection and comfort whether you’re asleep or active.

Our mouthguards are made from lightweight, durable materials that absorb shock effectively. They’re custom fitted to your teeth, providing cushioning and reducing the risk of dental injuries such as chipped or broken teeth and jaw fractures. These mouthguards are designed for comfort and ease of use, allowing you to speak and breathe normally while wearing them—whether you’re playing sports or sleeping.

  • Where do you buy a mouthguard for sports?

    We recommend getting custom mouthguards that are made to your exact measurements. These mouthguards protect your teeth and are more comfortable to wear than other mouthguards.

  • How much do custom mouthguards cost?

    The cost of your custom mouthguards depends on different factors, including the material we use and the complexity of your smile. Our team can provide you a more personalized cost estimate at your request.

  • How much does a custom night guard cost?

    Like custom mouthguards, night guards also vary in price depending on the complexity and materials we use. Typically, they can range from $200 to $1,000. These night guards are made to fit your mouth precisely, providing maximum protection against teeth grinding and reducing the risk of dental damage.

  • Does dental insurance cover night guards?

    Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of night guards. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage details. Some plans may cover the entire cost, while others might cover a percentage, leaving you responsible for the remaining balance.

  • How do you know if you grind your teeth at night?

    Signs that you may grind your teeth at night include waking up with a sore jaw, headaches or earaches. You may also notice your teeth becoming worn down or damaged. If you suspect you’re grinding your teeth, a dentist can evaluate your symptoms and recommend a custom night guard to help if necessary.

  • Can teeth grinding cause headaches?

    Yes, teeth grinding can cause headaches. The constant clenching and grinding put pressure on the jaw muscles and joints, leading to tension headaches.
