Mouthguards & Night Guards

Mouthguards and night guards are custom-fitted devices designed to protect teeth from grinding, clenching, or impact during sports. Many patients seek them out after noticing jaw soreness, headaches, or worn tooth surfaces from nighttime grinding, while others want a comfortable, well-fitting guard for athletic activity. At Dental Office of Dr. Salm, Kanner, and Grandeau, we take a straightforward approach to fitting a guard that actually stays comfortable enough to wear consistently.

Why a Custom Fit Matters

Off-the-shelf guards are bulky and often don't stay in place. A custom guard is molded to your bite, which makes it easier to tolerate through the night or during a game.

Intraoral Scanner — We use digital scans instead of messy molds to capture the exact shape of your teeth and bite, which the guard is then built around.

When to Consider One

Nighttime Grinding (Bruxism) — Jaw tightness, headaches, or flattened tooth edges can point to grinding that a night guard helps cushion against.
Sports Protection — A properly fitted mouthguard helps shield teeth and soft tissue during contact activities.
Post-Treatment Protection — Guards can also help protect restorative work, such as crowns or veneers, from grinding forces.
