Whether you’re on the ice, the court, or the field, your smile deserves protection just
as much as your knees, head, and hands. At Gardiners Dental Clinic, we know that
sports-related dental injuries can happen in a split-second – and the best defense is
a well-made, comfortable, custom-fit sports guard.
Why Choose a Custom Sports Guard?
Sports guards (also known as mouthguards) protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from
impact during sports and physical activities. Compared to store-bought “boil and
bite” guards, a custom sports guard offers:
Superior Fit – Made specifically for your mouth for maximum comfort
Better Protection – Covers your teeth more fully and absorbs shock more effectively
Durability – Higher quality materials last longer, even under intense use
Digital Impressions for the Perfect Fit
At Gardiners Dental Clinic we use a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of
your teeth.
Here’s how it works:
Quick & Comfortable Scan – A small, handheld want is used to take thousands of
images to create a digital model of your smile.
No More Runny Goop – Perfect for patients who dislike traditional impressions.
Exact Precision – The digital file ensures your custom sports guard fits your mouth
perfectly for maximum protection and comfort
Protecting More than Just Teeth
A quality sports guard can help reduce the risk of sport related injuries such as
chipped or broken teeth, lip and cheek injuries, and also reduce the risk of injury to
the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by absorbing and redistributing impact.
