Custom Mouthguards at Southdale Square Dental Centre

Our team is proud to offer a full range of preventative services to support your oral health at every stage. Routine checkups and dental cleanings allow us to remove plaque and tartar, monitor the health of your teeth and gums, and catch early signs of issues like decay or gum disease. We also offer digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to strengthen and protect teeth from damage. Whether you are visiting us for your regular cleaning or a comprehensive exam, our focus is always on prevention, early detection, and patient education.

Healthy Habits at Home

At-home care plays a vital role in maintaining your oral health between dental visits. We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, as well as flossing daily to remove plaque from areas your toothbrush cannot reach. Maintaining a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and limiting sugary or acidic foods can also help prevent cavities and support gum health. Avoiding tobacco products and wearing any recommended oral appliances, such as retainers or guards, can further protect your teeth and gums. If you ever have questions about your at-home routine, our team is here to provide guidance and support.

Custom Mouthguards as Preventative Care

Mouthguards are an important part of preventative dentistry. For patients who grind or clench their teeth at night, custom night guards help reduce wear, alleviate jaw tension, and prevent long-term damage to the teeth and joints. For athletes or those involved in physical activities, sports guards offer essential protection against dental injuries such as broken or knocked-out teeth. At Southdale Square Dental Centre, we provide high-quality, custom-made appliances that fit comfortably and securely, offering better protection than store-bought alternatives.

Night Guards

Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, can lead to a range of dental problems including enamel loss, cracked teeth, jaw pain, chronic headaches and disrupted sleep. It often occurs during sleep, making it difficult to detect until symptoms start to affect your daily comfort. If you frequently wake with tension in your jaw, headaches or tooth sensitivity, a night guard may be your ideal solution.

At Southdale Square Dental Centre, we provide professionally made night guards that are customized for a precise and comfortable fit. These removable clear acrylic appliances act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to reduce the pressure from grinding and clenching. Night guards are especially valuable for patients who have had restorative dental work, as they help protect crowns, veneers, fillings, and dental implants from damage. Our goal is to help you maintain your oral health with a solution that supports your comfort and preserves the strength of your teeth.

Sports Guards

Playing sports is a great way to stay healthy, but it also increases the risk of dental injury. Falls, contact with equipment or collisions with other players can result in chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the lips, tongue and jaw. A properly fitted sports guard is one of the best ways to prevent these types of injuries.

At Southdale Square Dental Centre, we provide custom-made sports guards that are designed using detailed dental impressions to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Made from high-quality materials, our guards help absorb impact and reduce the risk of injury to the teeth, gums, and jaw. Unlike store-bought versions, custom sports guards are easier to speak and breathe with, making them ideal for active children, teens, and adults. They are especially important for patients with braces or orthodontic appliances, as they offer added protection for both dental work and soft tissues.
