Custom Mouth Guards
Custom Mouth Guards
in Houston, TX
Protect your teeth from nighttime grinding or sports impact with a guard made to fit your smile, not a generic one.
Why a Mouth Guard?
Protect Your Natural Smile From Wear and Impact
Whether you're an athlete on the field or someone who deals with stress by clenching at night, your teeth are constantly under pressure. A mouth guard acts as a buffer, preventing the kind of chips, cracks, and long-term wear that are both painful and expensive to fix.
We make two types: an occlusal guard for nighttime grinding, and a sports guard built to absorb impact. Both are custom-fitted from precise molds of your teeth, which is what keeps them comfortable and secure instead of bulky and irritating.

A process built around a fit that actually stays put

Why custom beats store-bought every time
How It Compares
Occlusal vs. Sports vs. Store-Bought
Not all mouth guards do the same job. Here's how the two we make compare to a generic guard off the shelf.
Why Choose Dentiq Dentistry for Mouth Guards
We provide a detailed consultation to determine which type of guard will actually work for you, rather than handing everyone the same thing. Whether it's nighttime grinding or physical contact on the field, the guard is built around what you're protecting against.
If grinding has already worn or cracked teeth, we'll point that out during the exam and talk through repairing the damage alongside protecting what's left. A guard prevents further wear, but it doesn't undo what's already happened.

Most people don't notice it themselves. Waking with jaw tension or a headache is a common clue, and we can often spot the wear pattern on your teeth during a routine exam.
Generic guards aren't built for your smile, so they shift, feel bulky, and often irritate the gums. A guard you take out halfway through the night isn't protecting anything.
Yes, they're built for different jobs. Night guards use hard acrylic to resist grinding pressure, while sports guards use a softer material that absorbs impact and covers the gums too. Neither one treats snoring or sleep apnea, which needs a different appliance entirely: see our sleep apnea treatment page. If you grind your teeth and snore, you may need both.
Yes. The precision fit is what makes that possible, so you can communicate clearly with teammates while still getting full protection.
Often it does, since taking grinding pressure off the joint is a core part of TMJ therapy. If clicking, locking, or morning headaches are part of the picture, we'll evaluate the joint itself rather than assuming a guard alone will solve it. Teeth already worn or cracked from grinding may also need restorative treatment.
Rinse it after every use and let it dry fully before storing it in its case. We'll go over the specifics for your guard when we fit it.
It depends on how heavily you grind and how often you wear it. We check the condition at your regular visits and let you know when it's time for a replacement.
Coverage varies quite a bit, and night guards are more commonly covered than sports guards. Dentiq Dentistry works with most major PPO plans and can verify your benefits beforehand.
