Sports/Night Guards

More About Sports Guards

Sports are fun and many children, teens and adults alike play them on a regular basis. If you play contact sports for fun or competitively, it is a good idea to protect your smile by using a sports guard.

A sports guard is a protective device that is worn over top of your teeth and it helps provide protection to your teeth should you get hurt or face any type of hit to the face. These devices are ideal for anyone who plays football, hockey, martial arts or any other sport in which contact is likely. In fact, many sports organizations have recognized the importance of these guards and have made them part of their required gear for their athletes.

At Downtown Dental Centre, we custom make sports guards to protect your teeth when you are on the field. Each sports guard is made from high-quality materials to prevent any damage to your teeth should you be hit in the face. These guards are recommended and will help prevent the need for tooth replacement due to trauma injuries.

More About Night Guards

Downtown Dental Centre offers custom made night guards to protect your teeth when you sleep. TMJ/TMD is a painful condition that can occur from teeth grinding at night, which is also known as bruxism. Often, patients do not know that they are clenching or grinding their teeth at night until they experience pain the next morning or they damage one of their teeth.

Our night guards are designed to protect your teeth from the grinding motion and they prevent broken and fractured teeth. If you are interested in a night guard, one of our dentists will take an impression of your teeth and then send it off to the lab to have a guard made. The guard is worn when you go to bed and is removed in the morning when you wake up.
