Protect Your Smile With A Professional Custom Sports Mouthguard In Qualicum Beach, BC

A durable and effective way to protect your mouth during low- and high-impact sporting activities, a professional sports mouthguard shields a patient’s teeth, gums, jaw, and brain by absorbing the impact of injuries to the face.

At Bayview Dental and Implant Centre, we’re proud to offer our patients custom-made sports mouthguards and we’d be happy to craft one that’s personalized to meet your unique needs.

What's the difference between a professional sports mouthguard and a store-bought version?

The main difference is that custom-made, professionally crafted sports mouthguards are designed to snuggly fit a patient’s smile while forming a tight seal around their teeth. This provides maximum, durable protection while still enabling the wearer to speak and breathe normally during physical activity.

The benefits of wearing a custom-fitted professional sports mouthguard are considerable:

It protects your lips, teeth, and gums from damage
It reduces the risk of concussion or other head injuries
It helps you avoid dental emergencies or costly repairs in the event of an unfortunate accident.

Anyone involved in contact sports, such as basketball, hockey, lacrosse, football, rugby, volleyball, and even martial arts should consider wearing a custom-made sports mouthguard. Likewise, athletes who take part in non-contact sports that involve running and jumping should also think about wearing one of these protective devices. Step up your game with our sleek thin mouth guard, tailored for those who demand effective dental protection without the heaviness.

How are professional sports mouthguards made?

At Bayview Dental and Implant Centre, we’ll take an impression of your mouth, which our dental laboratory professionals will use to customize a customized mouthguard. Once complete, we’ll ask you to visit our office to test its fit and ensure that it feels comfortable.

What is the difference between a sports mouthguard and a dental mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard is specifically designed to protect your teeth and gums from impact during physical activities. It is generally thicker and more shock-absorbent than a dental mouthguard. In contrast, a dental mouthguard, often referred to as a nightguard, is used to prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching during sleep. It is typically thinner and made for comfort over extended periods.

Can you use a sports mouthguard as a nightguard?

While a sports mouthguard can offer some protection against grinding, it is not designed for this purpose. Sports mouthguards are bulkier and may not be comfortable for long-term wear. For optimal protection against teeth grinding, it’s best to use a nightguard specifically designed for that purpose.
