Night guards for grinding & clenching (bruxism).
Bruxism — grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep — affects up to 15% of adults, and many people have no idea they're doing it. Over time it wears down enamel, cracks teeth, and can lead to jaw pain, morning headaches, and TMJ disorder. A custom night guard cushions your teeth and spreads out those biting forces, protecting your enamel while you sleep.
Signs you may be grinding at night:
- Waking up with a sore jaw or headaches
- A partner who hears grinding sounds while you sleep
- Teeth that look flattened, chipped, or worn down
- New or increasing tooth sensitivity
- Bite damage to the tissue inside your cheeks
Sports mouthguards for athletes of every age.
A sports mouthguard protects your teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaw from impacts during play. Custom-fitted guards are far more protective and comfortable than the boil-and-bite versions from the sporting-goods aisle — and because they fit well, athletes actually keep them in. We recommend a custom guard for:
- Football, basketball, baseball, and soccer
- Martial arts, boxing, and wrestling
- Hockey, lacrosse, and rugby
- Any sport with a risk of impact to the face
Custom guards vs. the drugstore shelf.
Store-bought guards are bulky and loose-fitting, and most end up abandoned in a drawer because they're simply not comfortable. A custom guard is molded from impressions of your own teeth, so it fits snugly and stays put.
Because we control the fit and the material, custom guards are thinner — you can breathe and speak normally — more durable, and more protective, with even coverage and no gaps.
Caring for your guard — and knowing when to replace it.
Night guards typically last 1-5 years depending on how heavily you grind; sports guards last about 1-3 seasons of regular use. Rinse yours with cool water after each use, brush it gently with mild soap, and store it dry in a ventilated case — hot water can warp the material.
Bring your guard along to your regular checkups. We'll clean and inspect it professionally and let you know honestly when it's time for a replacement.
Care that fits your budget.
Most treatment can be split into manageable monthly payments — so cost never has to stand between you and the care you need.

Mouthguards & Night Guards in Missouri City, TX — questions worth asking.
Can a night guard help with TMJ?
Yes. Custom night guards are a primary treatment for TMJ disorder caused by grinding. The guard prevents the clenching that stresses the joint and lets your jaw muscles relax during sleep, which can significantly reduce TMJ symptoms over time. If jaw pain is your main concern, ask us about a TMJ evaluation at your visit.
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?
Common signs include waking up with jaw soreness or headaches, a partner who hears grinding sounds while you sleep, teeth that look flattened, chipped, or worn, increased tooth sensitivity, and bite damage inside your cheeks. Bruxism affects up to 15% of adults, and many people don't know they do it. We check for wear patterns at every exam.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse it with cool water after each use, then brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or a non-abrasive toothpaste. Store it dry in a ventilated case, and avoid hot water — heat can warp the material. Bring it to your dental appointments and we'll clean and inspect it professionally.
How long do custom mouthguards last?
Night guards for bruxism typically last 1-5 years depending on how heavily you grind. Sports guards last about 1-3 seasons with regular use. We inspect your guard at each checkup and let you know when it's time for a replacement.
Why not just buy a mouthguard at the store?
Store-bought and boil-and-bite guards are bulky and loose-fitting, which is why so many end up unused in a drawer. A custom guard is precisely molded to your teeth, so it's thinner and more comfortable — you can breathe and speak normally — while giving more even, complete coverage and lasting longer.
How much does a custom mouthguard or night guard cost?
Cost depends on the type of guard and your specific needs, so we quote it transparently and review a written estimate with you before any treatment. We offer Cherry and CareCredit financing, accept most PPO insurance plans, and will verify your benefits for you before you commit.
