Shield Your Smile With Custom Dental Guards
Your teeth are strong, but they’re not invincible. Whether you’re active in sports or suffer from teeth grinding at night, a properly fitted mouth guard is one of the best ways to prevent damage. At Grand Central Dentistry, we provide custom mouth guards designed for comfort, durability, and maximum protection—for kids, teens, and adults.
Sports Mouth Guards
Playing contact sports or high-impact activities can put your teeth at risk. A custom sports mouthguard cushions blows, reducing the chance of chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. Unlike store-bought guards, ours are molded to fit your teeth perfectly, offering superior protection, comfort, and breathability.
Who Should Wear a Sports Mouthguard?
Anyone participating in activities with risk of contact or falls, including:
- Football, basketball, soccer, hockey, wrestling
- Baseball or softball
- Martial arts, skateboarding, or biking
Proper care is simple: rinse before and after use, clean gently, store in a ventilated case, and replace yearly or if worn.
Night Guards
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you may be grinding or clenching at night (bruxism). A custom night guard provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure, preventing damage, and easing jaw tension.
Signs You Might Need a Night Guard:
- Jaw tightness or soreness in the morning
- Frequent headaches
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Clicking or popping in your jaw
- Disrupted sleep or fatigue
A custom night guard absorbs grinding forces, prevents direct tooth-to-tooth contact, reduces jaw strain, and protects your teeth, fillings, and crowns from damage.
Why Custom Mouth Guards Are Better
Store-bought guards often slip, feel bulky, or fail to protect your teeth adequately. Custom mouth guards are professionally made to match your bite, providing:
- Better fit and stability
- Enhanced comfort for long-term wear
- Improved protection for teeth, gums, and jaw
- Durability and long-lasting performance
From sports to night-time protection, a custom guard gives you confidence knowing your smile is safe.
How to Get Your Custom Mouth Guard
Getting a custom mouth guard is simple:
- Dental Exam: We check your teeth and jaw to recommend the right type of guard.
- Impressions or Digital Scans: Accurate measurements ensure a perfect fit.
- Fitting: Your guard is adjusted to fit comfortably and securely.
- Usage: Wear it as directed, clean it properly, and bring it to checkups for inspection.
