What Custom Guards Involve and How They Work
A custom guard is shaped to your teeth for a snug, comfortable fit. Our dentist in Vancouver, BC, offers nightguards for grinding and sportsguards for athletic protection. We provide several material options so your guard feels right and works well.
Choosing a custom guard offers better comfort than a store-bought version. A precise fit helps protect your teeth and keeps the guard in place when you need it.

Not every guard serves the same purpose, so we make options suited to your daily life. Our custom guards include the following types:
Nightguards
Protection against the effects of grinding and clenching during sleep.
Sportsguards
Cushioning that helps shield your teeth during contact sports.
When Should You Consider a Custom Guard?
A custom guard can help in several situations, such as:
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night
Waking with jaw soreness or headaches
Playing contact or high-impact sports
Worn or sensitive teeth from grinding
Symptoms linked to TMJ discomfort
If any of these apply, looking into custom guards in Vancouver, BC, is a smart way to protect your smile.
