About Mouthguards & Night Guards
Custom-fitted guards protect your teeth during sports or while you sleep and tend to fit more comfortably than an off-the-shelf option.
What to Expect
A custom mouthguard protects active kids, teens, and adults from a chipped or knocked-out tooth during sports and other physical activity — the kind of injury we also treat through our dental emergency care. Because it is made specifically for your mouth, a custom guard tends to fit more securely and comfortably than a one-size-fits-all option from the store.
A night guard serves a different purpose — it helps protect teeth from the wear that comes with clenching or grinding during sleep. If you have noticed jaw soreness, headaches, or worn-down teeth, a night guard may help. Bring it up at your next cleaning and exam.
Dr. Dhawan can take an impression at your next visit and have a guard custom-made for you. Let our team know if you or your child play sports, or if you suspect grinding may be affecting your teeth, and we will help you decide which type of guard makes sense.
