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.

Treatment Process

A process built around a fit that actually stays put

Getting a custom guard takes two short visits. Here's what happens at each.

01
Step
Consultation
We sit down with you to work out exactly what protection you need, whether that's nighttime grinding or contact on the field.
02
Step
Precise Molds
We take precise molds of your teeth. This is the step generic store-bought guards skip, and it's the reason they never quite fit.
03
Step
Your Guard Is Made
Occlusal guards use durable medical-grade acrylic; sports guards use a softer material designed to absorb shock.
04
Step
Fitting and Adjustment
We check the fit in person and adjust it so it's snug without irritating your gums, then you're set.
The Superior Protection of a Custom Fit

Why custom beats store-bought every time

01
Stays Where It Should
Generic guards shift and slip because they aren't built for your teeth. A molded guard actually stays in place.
02
Comfortable Enough to Use
A snug fit prevents gum irritation, and a guard that doesn't bother you is one you'll actually wear every night.
03
Right Material for the Job
Hard acrylic stands up to grinding pressure; softer material absorbs impact. The two jobs need different builds.
04
Cheaper Than the Damage
A guard costs a fraction of repairing the chips, cracks, and worn enamel it's designed to prevent.

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.
