What Are Night Guards & Sports Guards

A night guard is a custom appliance worn while sleeping to protect your teeth from the pressure and wear caused by grinding or clenching, a condition known as bruxism. A sports guard serves a different purpose, cushioning your teeth and jaw from impact during contact sports like hockey, football, or boxing. Both are custom made to fit your mouth precisely, unlike generic boil and bite versions from a store.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

  • Waking up with jaw soreness or headaches
  • A partner who notices you grinding your teeth at night
  • Flattened, chipped, or worn tooth surfaces
  • Tooth sensitivity that has no other clear cause
  • Clicking or popping in your jaw joint
  • Playing a contact sport without dedicated mouth protection

  • A precise impression of your teeth

What to Expect at Your Visit

We start by taking a precise impression of your teeth, which is sent to our lab for fabrication. Once your custom guard is ready, you will come back for a fitting appointment where we check comfort, fit, and function. If any adjustments are needed, we will make them on the spot so your guard fits exactly right.

Related Treatments

If your teeth grinding is linked to jaw pain, clicking, or headaches, we may also recommend TMJ Treatment alongside your night guard. A regular Check-Ups & Cleanings visit helps us monitor wear patterns over time and catch grinding related damage early.

Cost of Night Guards & Sports Guards in Calgary

The cost of a custom night guard or sports guard depends on the materials used and the complexity of your bite. Many insurance plans cover a portion of the cost, particularly for night guards prescribed to treat bruxism. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, direct bill most insurance providers, and offer 0% financing. Contact us for a personalized quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do night guards last?
With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts 3 to 5 years, though this depends on how severely you grind your teeth and how well you maintain it.
Do I need a night guard if I grind my teeth?
Yes, untreated teeth grinding can wear down enamel, cause jaw pain, and lead to cracked teeth over time. A custom night guard protects your teeth and can prevent more costly dental work later.
Can I wear a sports guard with braces?
Yes, we can design a custom sports guard that fits comfortably over braces, providing protection without interfering with your orthodontic treatment.
How is a custom guard different from a store bought one?
A custom guard is made from an exact impression of your teeth, giving it a precise, comfortable fit that stays in place. Store bought versions are bulkier, less comfortable, and often do not stay properly seated.
Can a night guard help with headaches?
For some patients, teeth grinding contributes to tension headaches, and a night guard can help reduce this by preventing the clenching pattern. If headaches persist, we may also recommend a TMJ evaluation.
