Mouth guards are dental appliances worn over the teeth to provide protection for specific concerns. Richmond Dental Centre offers custom mouth guards and night guards for uses including sports protection and reducing damage associated with grinding or clenching.

What Are Mouth Guards?

A mouth guard is an appliance worn over the teeth. Different designs serve different purposes, including protecting teeth during sports and reducing damage associated with grinding or clenching. Your dentist can help determine which type of appliance is appropriate for your needs.

Benefits of Mouth Guards

  • Protect teeth during contact sports and activities with injury risk
  • Reduce wear from nighttime grinding or clenching
  • Provide a custom-fit option made for your dental anatomy
  • Help protect existing dental work from selected impact or grinding forces
  • Support conservative care for some bruxism and TMJ-related concerns

Getting a Custom Mouth Guard

The first step is identifying why the appliance is needed, because sports guards and night guards are designed for different purposes.

Assessment: Your dentist discusses your symptoms, activities, and the type of protection required.

Dental Records: An impression or other record of your teeth is used to create a custom fit when a custom appliance is selected.

Fabrication: The mouth guard is made to fit your teeth and intended use.

Fit Check: Your dentist checks comfort, coverage, and fit and makes adjustments if needed.

Care: You will receive instructions for cleaning, storing, and monitoring the appliance for wear.
