We custom-fit sports guards, night guards, and snore guards in a single visit. No needles, no drugs, no lab work or X-rays needed.
A flexible plastic guard that absorbs impact during sports, protecting teeth and dental work like crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants from a single hard blow.
About 80-90% of adults grind or clench at night (bruxism), often from stress. This wears teeth and can lead to muscle soreness, TMJ / TMD issues, and headaches. A custom night guard cushions the bite and reduces the damage.
