Night guards are especially important if you have a history of bruxism or dental wear.

Choose the Right Type of Mouthguard

Not all mouthguards are created equal, and not every patient needs the same kind of protection. Dr. Kar will help you choose the oral appliance that best fits your lifestyle, symptoms, and restorative needs:

  • Night Guards for Bruxism - A nightguard is designed to prevent grinding and clenching while you sleep. This will protect both natural teeth and dental restorations like crowns from long-term damage and wear.
  • Sports Mouthguards - These custom-fitted guards are for athletes of all ages. Wearing this appliance will reduce the risk of chipped teeth, soft tissue injuries, and dental trauma during contact sports.

Each mouthguard is digitally designed for a precise fit. Dr. Kar will walk you through the benefits of each option so you can feel confident in your care plan.

Get a Comfortable Custom Fit

Dr. Kar begins with a thorough exam to determine which type of mouthguard is best suited to your needs. He'll check for signs of grinding, clenching, enamel wear, and restoration damage. Then you can expect:

  • Digital Impressions - Using an intraoral scanner, we capture a precise image of your teeth. No trays, no mess.
  • Appliance Selection - Dr. Kar will recommend the best appliance based on your concerns: night guard, TMJ guard, or sports guard.
  • Custom Fabrication - Your appliance is custom-made from durable materials that provide both protection and comfort.
  • Adjustment - Once it arrives, we ensure a secure fit and make minor adjustments as needed.
  • Ongoing Review - During future checkups, we'll assess the fit, wear, and effectiveness of your guard. Dr. Kar will update it if your bite changes or the guard is damaged.

Our mouthguards in Allen work in harmony with your teeth, bite, and any existing restorations. Schedule your visit today.

After getting my teeth removed, and dentures at a chain dentist office, I was in a lot pain, couldn’t eat, and my health started declining. The dentures were completely worthless. I tried working with the other dentist office and after many many appointments they said they had done all they could. The dentures were useless! By this time my mental health was also declining. I got very depressed. As I started to accept my situation , I realized my quality of life was worth fighting for. I got the courage to research other options. Gratefully, I stumbled across Advanced Dental Care. It took a while to build the courage to call. I finally made the call, and my life changed. I was met with such kindness, respect, and professionalism . The staff and Doctor are absolutely the best… they made my experience so successful . I have definitely gained trust in dentistry. My life has really changed. I now have a beautiful smile, and smile again without hesitation. I am so happy. I couldn’t be more thankful to have gone to Advanced Dental Care. I recommend 1000% that if you are looking for an honest & trustworthy Dental Office, go see them!

Common Questions About Mouthguards

Do I really need a night guard if I grind my teeth?

Yes, especially if you've had restorative dental work or notice symptoms like jaw soreness, headaches, or enamel wear. Night guards act as a cushion between your teeth, protecting them from the pressure caused by clenching and grinding. Without one, you risk damaging crowns, implants, or your natural teeth over time. Dr. Kar customizes each guard to your bite so it fits comfortably and provides optimal protection.

How do I know if I’m grinding or clenching at night?

Common signs include waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity. You might also notice flattened or worn teeth, cracked restorations, or increased gum recession. Dr. Kar can confirm signs of bruxism during your exam and recommend the right solution to protect your smile moving forward.

What’s the difference between a night guard and a sports guard?

Night guards are designed to protect teeth from clenching and grinding while you sleep. They're typically thinner and tailored to reduce jaw tension. Sports guards are thicker and made to absorb shock from physical contact or impact during athletic activity. We'll recommend the right type of appliance based on how and when you need protection.
