What Are Mouth Guards?

A mouth guard is a protective dental appliance that covers your teeth and gums. It absorbs and distributes force so your teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding tissues stay safe from damage.

There are three main types available:

Stock mouth guards: Pre-made, one-size-fits-all guards sold at pharmacies. They are bulky, offer limited protection, and do not conform to your bite.
Boil-and-bite mouth guards: Softened in hot water and shaped by biting down. Better than stock guards, but still imprecise and prone to loosening over time.
Custom-fitted mouth guards: Fabricated from an impression of your teeth by a dental professional. These fit precisely, stay in place, and offer the highest level of protection and comfort.

At Pro Grace Dentistry, we provide custom-fitted mouth guards for all patients in Calgary, AB. A custom guard gives you a precise fit that store-bought options simply cannot match.

Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

You do not need to wait until you notice serious damage. A mouth guard is a preventive tool. Talk to your dentist at Pro Grace Dentistry if any of the following apply to you:

You wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or facial soreness.
A partner or family member has noticed you grinding your teeth at night.
Your teeth look flattened, chipped, or shorter than they used to be.
You play contact sports or activities with a fall risk.
Your dentist has noticed wear patterns on your enamel during a checkup.
You have existing crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations you want to protect.

If you are unsure whether you need a mouth guard, our team will give you a clear, honest assessment during your appointment.

Types of Mouth Guards We Offer

Night Guards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. Many people grind their teeth without knowing it. Over time, this wears down enamel, causes jaw pain and headaches, and damages existing dental restorations such as crowns and veneers.

Signs you grind your teeth include:

A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. It reduces the pressure on your jaw joints, prevents further enamel loss, and allows your muscles to relax as you sleep.

Sports Mouth Guards

A sports mouth guard protects your teeth, lips, gums, and jaw from impact during athletic activity. It is one of the most effective and affordable pieces of protective gear for athletes of all ages and skill levels.

We recommend sports mouth guards for:

Our sports guards are custom-molded to your bite. They stay secure during play, allow you to breathe and speak clearly, and protect your smile from chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth.

Difference Between a Night Guard and a Sports Mouth Guard

Parents often ask whether one guard covers both needs. The short answer is no. A night guard and a sports mouth guard serve completely different purposes, and using one in place of the other significantly reduces protection. Here is a clear breakdown:

Feature	Night Guard	Sports Mouth Guard
Primary purpose	Protects teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep	Protects teeth and soft tissues from impact during physical activity
When it is worn	During sleep only	During sports, training, or physical play
Thickness	Thinner, designed for comfort over long overnight wear	Thicker, built to absorb sudden high-impact force
Coverage	Fits one arch, upper or lower, depending on the child’s bite	Covers the upper teeth and sometimes both arches
Material	Softer, flexible material to cushion jaw pressure	Firmer, impact-resistant material to deflect blows
Fit priority	Precise bite alignment to reduce jaw strain	Secure fit that stays in place during movement
Who needs it	Children who grind or clench their teeth at night	Children and teens who play contact or high-impact sports
Can it replace the other?	No. A night guard does not provide impact protection	No. A sports guard does not address grinding or jaw tension
Fit check frequency	At every routine dental visit, as the jaw grows	At every routine dental visit, or after significant tooth changes

Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard Over a Store-Bought One?

Store-bought guards are available at most pharmacies, but they come with real limitations. They do not fit your exact bite, which means they shift, cause discomfort, and fail to provide consistent protection.

A custom mouth guard from Pro Grace Dentistry offers:

A precise fit based on your actual dental impressions.
Better protection because it stays in place.
Greater comfort for all-night or all-game wear.
Longer durability than boil-and-bite alternatives.
Less interference with breathing and speaking.
A solution tailored to your specific concern, whether that is grinding, clenching, or sports impact.

Investing in a professionally made mouth guard protects your existing dental work and reduces your risk of expensive repairs down the line.

Getting a custom mouth guard at Pro Grace Dentistry is a simple, comfortable process. Here is what happens during your visit:

Consultation: Your dentist reviews your dental history, examines your teeth and jaw, and discusses your symptoms or activities.
Impressions: We take precise impressions of your upper and lower teeth. This process is quick and comfortable.
Fabrication: Your impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your guard is custom-made to exact specifications.
Fitting: When your mouth guard is ready, you return for a fitting. Your dentist checks the fit, makes any necessary adjustments, and shows you how to care for it.

Caring for Your Mouth Guard

A well-maintained mouth guard lasts longer and stays hygienic. Follow these steps to protect your investment:

Rinse your mouth guard with cold water before and after each use.
Clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, not toothpaste, which scratches the surface.
Store it in a ventilated, hard-sided case to prevent damage and bacteria build-up.
Keep it away from hot water, direct sunlight, and hot surfaces, as they can distort its shape.
Bring it to your dental checkups so your dentist can check the fit and condition.
Replace it if you notice cracks, tears, or a persistent odour.

FAQs

How long does a custom mouth guard last?

With proper care, a custom mouth guard lasts two to five years. Night guards worn daily tend to wear down faster than sports guards used seasonally. Your dentist will assess the condition of your guard at your regular checkups and let you know when a replacement is needed.

Does dental insurance cover a custom mouth guard?

Coverage depends on your specific plan. Many insurance providers cover a portion of the cost for night guards when bruxism is diagnosed. Sports guards are also covered under some policies. Our team at Pro Grace Dentistry will review your benefits and help you get the most from your coverage.

Do children need mouth guards?

Yes. Children who play sports are at high risk for dental injuries and benefit greatly from custom sports guards. Children who grind their teeth may also need a night guard. We account for growing jaws and take new impressions as needed so the fit remains accurate over time.

Will wearing a mouth guard feel uncomfortable?

A custom-fitted mouth guard feels far more comfortable than a stock or boil-and-bite guard. Most patients adjust within a few nights or uses. If you experience persistent discomfort, contact our team, and we will adjust the fit.

How do I know if I need a night guard?

The most common signs are morning jaw pain, frequent headaches, worn or flattened teeth, and tooth sensitivity. Your dentist may also notice wear patterns during a routine exam before you notice any symptoms. If you suspect you grind your teeth, schedule a consultation at Pro Grace Dentistry, and we will confirm the diagnosis.
