Sports Guards

A sports guard allows you to play the sports you love without the worry of having to undergo complicated procedures to repair or replace damaged or lost teeth. Let us design the protection you require.

Bite Appliances

Do you wake up in the morning with intense headaches and jaw pain? This may be due to a condition called bruxism, in which an individual grinds their teeth in their sleep. Long-term damage is easily prevented by acquiring an appliance designed to minimize muscle activity during sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
