Mouth Guards

Protection for your teeth, designed for comfort and precision.

Mouth guards are custom-made devices designed to protect your teeth, jaw, and restorations from damage.

They are commonly used for teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep or to protect against impact during sports. While simple in concept, a well-designed mouth guard plays an important role in preventing long-term wear, fractures, and discomfort.

At Altura, mouth guards are individually designed using precise digital scans to ensure a comfortable fit, effective protection, and ease of use.

When is a mouth guard recommended

A mouth guard may be recommended if you:

Grind or clench your teeth at night
Wake with jaw tension, headaches, or facial soreness
Have worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
Participate in contact or high-impact sports
Have had dental work such as crowns, veneers, or implants that require protection

Early use of a mouth guard can help prevent more complex dental issues over time.

Types of mouth guards

Night guards for teeth grinding
Designed to protect teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep. These guards help reduce wear and relieve pressure on the jaw joints.

Sports mouth guards
Used during physical activity to protect teeth and soft tissues from impact. Custom guards provide a more secure and comfortable fit compared to over-the-counter options.

Custom protective guards for dental work
Recommended for patients with veneers, crowns, or implants to protect restorations from excessive force.

Benefits of custom mouth guards

Precise fit and comfort
Custom-made from digital scans to fit your teeth accurately, reducing bulk and improving wearability.

Effective protection
Designed to absorb and distribute forces, helping prevent tooth wear, fractures, and jaw strain.

Improved sleep comfort
Night guards can reduce the effects of grinding and clenching, supporting more comfortable rest.

Durability and longevity
High-quality materials provide better durability compared to over-the-counter alternatives.

Supports long-term dental health
Helps protect both natural teeth and dental restorations from unnecessary damage.

Why patients choose Altura for mouth guards

Custom design using digital technology
Precision scanning allows for a more accurate and comfortable fit.

Tailored to your specific needs
Different designs are used depending on whether the goal is protection from grinding, sport, or restoration support.

Focus on long-term protection
We consider how your bite and habits affect your teeth over time.

Clear guidance and follow-up
We ensure you understand how to use and care for your mouth guard properly.

Comfort-focused approach
A well-fitting guard is easier to wear consistently, which is key to its effectiveness.

What others are saying about us

This experience has been truly transformative. My dentist was exceptionally supportive, always available to address concerns, answer questions, make necessary adjustments, and provide reassurance that everything was progressing as expected. He ensured that my new teeth were perfectly suited for me.

Robert Walpole
I recently had major dental surgery at Altura Cleveland and can't praise, and thank, them enough for their amazing work, care and professionalism. Dr Shaiel, from the first meeting to the final fitting (about 8 visits over a few months) explained everything in layman's terms as to what each treatment would entail, the costs associated with each option and the best options for my final outcome, and the care and time taken to reach that goal was exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Shaiel and his team.

Gary Napier
From my initial consultation through to the completion of my treatment I have been so thankful I chose to come to SD Dental Clinic Cleveland. Melissa is such an amazing Dentist. She’s a perfectionist and listens to every little detail. The team are so lovely, friendly and caring. I absolutely LOVE my finished results. Thank you all so much.

Donna Smith
I have just completed first stage of an implant, having my tooth extracted. Dr Namm was excellent and explained the whole process to me. There was absolutely no pain involved in extracting the tooth. It was just so good...I was really impressed as I have had extensive dental work in the past and it has always been extremely painful. The after-care is second to none. I honestly can't recommend Altura Dental highly enough.

Michelle Porter
Everyone at SD dental are so lovely. You are always met with a smile at reception that makes your day. I had Christina whiten my teeth. She is very professional, and friendly. She makes sure your comfortable and does an amazing job.

Charlie Summers
Altura is worth checking out for your dental needs. I came across their well-reviewed and recommended ad and decided to investigate. Dr Bryan is lovely and will work with you individually on achieving the results you’re after and genuinely wants success for you and your smile. Receptionists are friendly and make you feel very welcome too. At the start of my journey but I have been so happy with their service so far.
