Why would I need a mouthguard?
Your teeth are strong, but they’re not invincible. Whether you’re an athlete or someone who clenches or grinds their teeth at night, a custom-made Temecula dental mouthguard or nightguard can protect your smile from damage.
We offer high-quality, personalized guards to fit your unique needs and lifestyle:
- Custom athletic mouthguards: Ideal for youth and adult athletes in contact sports. These guards help protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from trauma.
- Nightguards for bruxism (teeth grinding): Worn during sleep to cushion the teeth and prevent damage caused by clenching and grinding (bruxism).
Mouthguards are great for
Preventing sports-related injuries
If you or your child participates in sports like football, basketball, hockey, or martial arts, a mouthguard is essential to protect against broken teeth, cuts, and jaw injuries.
Stopping the effects of teeth grinding
Nightguards help prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, headaches, and cracked teeth caused by unconscious grinding or clenching while sleeping.
Protecting dental work
If you have crowns, veneers, or dental implants, a mouthguard or nightguard can help preserve your investment.
Improving sleep and comfort
Nightguards may help reduce tension in your jaw muscles and alleviate discomfort associated with TMJ disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a mouthguard and a nightguard?
Mouthguards are designed to protect teeth during sports or physical activity. Nightguards are worn during sleep to prevent damage from grinding or clenching.
Can I buy a guard over the counter?
Store-bought guards may offer some protection, but they rarely fit properly. Custom guards from a dentist are more effective, comfortable, and durable.
How long do custom guards last?
With proper care, our Temecula dental mouthguards can last several years. Regular checkups help monitor its condition.
Will a nightguard stop me from grinding my teeth?
A nightguard won’t stop the behavior, but it will protect your teeth and reduce strain on your jaw while you sleep.
Are custom guards comfortable to wear?
Yes! Custom guards are designed to fit your mouth perfectly, making them far more comfortable than boil-and-bite or generic options.
