DENTAL APPLIANCES

Sports guards

Sports guards are protective resilient appliances made of high grade plastic that have been designed to cover over and encase an athlete's teeth and the gums and bone that support them.

When a sports guard is worn it helps to provide protection for the teeth and jaw by absorbing and redistributing the forces generated by traumatic blows.  

Sports guards are especially important for those who play high impact sports such as hockey, football, rugby and boxing. Our office custom makes all guards to suit the individual sport.  Unlike guards that can be purchased in stores, we ensure that the fit is ideal to provide maximum protection.  Sports guards can be made for both adults and children.

Please let us know if you would like to have this protective device made for you!

Nightguards

Teeth grinding can disrupt a good night's sleep and can cause trauma to your teeth, muscles and TMJ (temporomandibular joint). The cause of this habit is most usually stress related. The easiest and most effective way to deal with grinding is to use a nightguard that will protect your teeth from any damage.

Nightguards are custom appliances that are worn as you sleep. They are made of a specialized plastic material that keeps the upper teeth from contacting the lower teeth thereby offering an instant solution to both teeth grinding and clenching.

Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth which replace some or all of a patient’s missing natural teeth. Dentures provide patients with optimum function while eating, speaking and laughing.

There are two types of dentures available:

  • Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some but not all of their teeth.

  • Complete dentures or full dentures are for patients who are missing all their upper or lower teeth.

  • We work closely with dental labs that specialize in making dentures both comfortable and natural looking. Please contact our office for more information.
