Kelowna Nightguards & Sports Guards

Brookside Dental Centre is dedicated to ensuring the oral health and safety of our patients, especially those involved in sports or prone to teeth grinding. That is why we offer custom-made nightguards and sports guards tailored to each individual patient’s needs. These specially crafted oral appliances provide essential protection against dental injuries during athletic activities, absorbing impact and minimizing the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the lips, tongue, and jaw. For patients who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or clenching, custom nightguards offer a comfortable and effective solution to prevent dental damage and alleviate associated symptoms like jaw pain and headaches. By investing in custom nightguards and/or sports guards at Brookside Dental Centre, patients can enjoy peace of mind knowing their smiles are safeguarded against potential injuries, allowing them to focus on their performance and overall well-being.

If you have ever woken up with jaw discomfort, headaches or toothaches, you might be dealing with bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding. This habitual action often occurs unconsciously, either while you are sleeping or while awake, posing a challenge for control. Brookside Dental Centre understands the impact of bruxism on your oral health, and we offer tailored solutions to alleviate its effects. Our custom-made dental appliances, known as bruxism appliances or nightguards, serve as a crucial intervention. These removable plastic guards are designed to snugly fit over both upper and lower teeth, effectively realigning the jaw to mitigate clicking and grinding. By providing a cushioning effect, these nightguards safeguard against enamel erosion and dental damage caused by grinding. While the nightguards do not eliminate the root cause of bruxism, they offer essential protection for your teeth, minimizing the risk of further complications. While symptoms such as jaw pain may persist until grinding ceases, these appliances are instrumental in preserving your dental health and well-being.

Sports-related oral injuries are all too common, ranging from minor chipping of the teeth to more serious trauma affecting the mouth’s delicate tissues. Recognizing the importance of safeguarding your smile, Brookside Dental Centre offers personalized solutions with custom-made sports guards. These carefully crafted mouth guards are composed of durable plastic, and are tailored to fit each patient’s mouth precisely. Whether you are involved in a contact sport, are prone to falls or impacts, or are involved in activities where flying equipment poses a risk, a sports guard is indispensable for shielding your teeth and preserving your smile. Unlike generic store-bought options, our custom sports guards provide superior comfort and efficacy. Engineered to absorb shock upon impact, they offer unparalleled protection against potential fractures, chips or other oral injuries. This level of defense is particularly crucial for individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment, as the sports guards help mitigate damage to braces and minimize soft tissue injuries within the mouth. With Brookside Dental Centre’s custom sports guards, you can confidently pursue your athletic endeavors, knowing that your mouth and smile is well-protected.
