Protecting your teeth is not only about treating problems when they happen, it is also about helping prevent damage before it starts. At Westpointe Dental, we offer custom-made night guards and sports guards designed to help protect your teeth from grinding, clenching, and impact-related injuries.
Both appliances are carefully designed for comfort, durability, and a precise fit, helping you protect your smile in everyday life and during physical activity.
Night guards are worn while you sleep to help protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism. These habits often occur unconsciously and can lead to tooth wear, jaw discomfort, headaches, and strain on the jaw joints over time.
A custom night guard fits snugly over your teeth and creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This helps reduce pressure on the jaw and may help prevent further wear on natural teeth and dental restorations.
A night guard may be recommended if you experience:
Each appliance is made using digital scans or impressions to help ensure a precise and comfortable fit.
Sports guards are designed to help protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during physical activity. They are especially important for contact and high-impact sports such as hockey, football, basketball, soccer, and martial arts.
A properly fitted sports guard helps absorb and distribute force from impact, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth.
Because they are custom made, sports guards provide a secure fit that stays in place during activity while still allowing you to breathe and speak comfortably.
Both night guards and sports guards begin with a simple appointment where our team will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth. This allows us to create an appliance tailored specifically to your bite for maximum comfort and protection.
Once your custom guard is ready, our team will ensure it fits properly and provide instructions on how to wear, clean, and care for it. Adjustments can be made as needed to support long-term comfort and function.
Whether you are protecting your teeth during sleep or while playing sports, custom guards are a simple and effective way to help prevent avoidable damage.
At Westpointe Dental, our focus is on providing comfortable, well-fitting appliances that support your oral health and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
