Custom Mouthguards
Professional-grade protection for athletes of all ages — comfort you'll actually wear.
Protection That Actually Stays In
Sports-related dental injuries account for over a third of all dental trauma — and most are entirely preventable with a properly fitting mouthguard. Unlike store-bought guards, a custom mouthguard made from precise impressions of your teeth offers far superior protection, stays in place during activity, and is comfortable enough that athletes actually wear it consistently.
Why Custom vs. Store-Bought
Boil-and-bite guards from sporting goods stores offer minimal protection — their ill-fitting bulk can actually make it harder to breathe and communicate, leading athletes to remove them. A custom mouthguard fits precisely over every tooth, distributes impact forces evenly, and is thin enough to speak and breathe normally. Studies show custom guards reduce dental injury risk significantly more than stock or boil-and-bite alternatives.
Who Should Wear a Mouthguard
Any sport with a risk of contact or collision warrants a mouthguard — hockey, football, basketball, soccer, rugby, martial arts, boxing, field hockey, lacrosse, and even recreational sports like skiing and cycling. The Canadian Dental Association recommends mouthguards for children and adults participating in all contact and collision sports.
Custom Options
We offer custom mouthguards in a variety of colours and can incorporate team colours. Guards can be made in different thicknesses depending on the sport's contact level. We also make dual-arch guards for patients who grind during high-intensity activity. Each guard is labelled with the patient's name for easy identification.
