What Are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are protective oral appliances worn over the teeth to help prevent damage from grinding, clenching, impact, or dental stress. They act as a cushion that helps absorb force and protect the teeth, gums, lips, jaw, and existing dental work.
They are commonly used during contact sports, while sleeping, or for patients managing bruxism, jaw tension, or orthodontic concerns. Your denturist can recommend the right mouthguard based on your lifestyle, symptoms, and oral health needs.
Types of Mouthguards We Offer
At Alberta Dentures, we provide custom mouthguards designed for different needs, comfort levels, and protection goals.
Sports Guards
Designed for athletes and active patients, sports guards help protect teeth, gums, lips, and the jaw from impact during physical activity. They are commonly used for hockey, soccer, football, basketball, martial arts, and other contact or high-impact sports.
Night Guards
Night guards are made for patients who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. They help reduce tooth wear, jaw strain, enamel damage, and morning discomfort caused by bruxism.
Anti-Snoring Mouthpieces
Anti-snoring mouthpieces are designed to support better airflow during sleep by gently positioning the jaw. They may help reduce snoring and improve nighttime comfort for patients with mild sleep-related breathing concerns.

Benefits of Wearing a Custom Mouthguard
A custom mouthguard offers a more accurate fit than store-bought options, making it more comfortable, secure, and easier to wear consistently. Because it is made for your mouth, it can provide better coverage and protection for your teeth and jaw.
Custom-made mouthguards are also less bulky, more durable, and designed for your specific needs. Whether used for sports, sleep, or dental protection, they can help reduce tooth wear, jaw strain, oral injuries, and damage to existing dental work. For patients who also need tooth replacement options, Alberta Dentures offers complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant dentures.
