Safeguard Your Bite With Custom Mouthguards in Belmont
Whether you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, you want to protect your smile. We offer custom mouthguards in Belmont designed to fit your exact needs. Your professional-grade appliance is more comfortable, more effective, and longer-lasting than anything you'll find in a store.
Bruxers or teeth grinders will experience less jaw strain, prevent tooth damage, and sleep better at night. Athletes will gain reliable protection from injury and impact while in the game. Either way, you can count on a customized, secure fit. With hours as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m. and Saturday appointments available, it's easy to protect your smile on your schedule.

Enjoy a Comfortable Fit & Feel
Store-bought mouthguards might seem like a quick fix, but they often fall short. They tend to be bulky, prone to shifting, and put your smile at risk for injury. Our mouthguards:
- Are Fully Customized - Our guards are based on your actual bite shape, not a general mold. That means better fit, better comfort, and better results.
- Use Comfort-First Materials - We use soft or dual-layered materials that are effective without being intrusive. You'll barely notice your mouthguard is there.
- Provide Longer-Lasting Protection - Custom guards are more durable and hold up better over time. They are especially ideal for heavy clenching or grinding.

Common Questions About Mouthguards
How do I know if I need a night guard?
If you often wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sore teeth, you may be grinding or clenching while you sleep. Over time, this can wear down your enamel, damage restorations, and contribute to TMJ symptoms. A night guard provides a protective barrier that absorbs pressure and reduces muscle strain. During your visit, we'll examine your bite and jaw function, look for wear patterns, and recommend a custom solution if needed. Getting relief can be as simple as wearing your guard consistently each night.
Can I use a store-bought mouthguard instead?
While store-bought mouthguards may seem convenient, they don't offer the comfort, durability, or proper fit needed for long-term protection. Generic guards can feel bulky, fall out at night, or even worsen symptoms by placing uneven pressure on your jaw. At Belmont Dental Group, our custom mouthguards are designed specifically for your bite and grinding patterns. This ensures a snug fit that's comfortable to wear and provides targeted relief where you need it most — whether you're sleeping or playing sports.
Is it hard to get used to wearing a mouthguard?
Most patients adjust quickly, especially when the guard is custom-made. Unlike bulky store-bought versions, your appliance will be designed to fit snugly and feel natural in your mouth. Night guards are typically worn only while you sleep, and many patients report better sleep and less morning discomfort after just a few nights. Athletic mouthguards are also easy to get used to when custom-fitted, since they won't shift or interfere with breathing or speaking. If you ever need adjustments, we're happy to help.
