PREVENTATIVE SHIELDS
Defend Your Enamel and Restorations from Destructive Force
Bite forces during sleep clenching can easily exceed 250 pounds of pressure, leading to cracked molars, morning headaches, and worn porcelain veneers.
We take 3D digital scans of your teeth to fabricate custom-fitted guards. Our night guards are made of dual-laminate acrylics—hard on the outside to take wear, soft on the inside for comfort. For athletes, our custom mouthguards absorb impact shock, reducing the risk of knocked-out teeth and concussions much more effectively than generic boil-and-bite options.
Bruxism Night Guards
Custom-fitted bite buffers worn during sleep to distribute grinding forces, protecting enamel from flat wear patterns and cracks.
Custom Sports Mouthguards
Individually fabricated shock-absorbing shields for contact sports, ensuring clear breathing and speaking while maximizing lip and tooth safety.
THE BRIGHTENING BLUEPRINT
Your Custom Shield Blueprint
We use digital 3D scans instead of messy putties, creating guards that match your teeth borders with sub-millimeter precision.
01
Bite Assessment
We check for teeth wear lines, chipped edges, and joint sensitivity to determine the ideal guard thickness and material.
02
Digital Scanning
We take a quick 3D scan of your upper and lower arches in seconds, avoiding the gagging and discomfort of traditional mold impressions.
03
Precision Lab Milling
Our dental laboratory mills or prints your custom guard using clinical-grade biocompatible polymers for a snug, secure fit.
04
Fit Adjustment
We check the guard in your mouth, adjust the bite alignment, and polish it to verify absolute sleep or athletic comfort.
BITE PROTECTION
Dental Care Engineered for Every Stage of Life
Guard structures are customized to your active sports risks, TMJ symptoms, and sleep patterns.
Sleep Grinders
Unconscious sleep grinding can cause tooth chipping and enamel wear. Our dual-laminate night guards cushion your bite, absorbing massive pressures and preventing enamel friction.
Athletes
Contact sports put your smile at risk. We mold custom athletic mouthguards that absorb jaw impact forces, protecting lips from cuts, teeth from fracture, and lowering concussion risks.
TMJ Relief
Clenching inflames the TMJ jaw joints, causing morning tension and neck pain. Wearing our custom guard stabilizes your jaw alignment, taking load off joint tissues to stop headaches.
Restoration
Porcelain veneers and crowns are durable, but sleep clenching can cause microscopic cracks. We place a thin, comfortable nighttime guard to shield your aesthetic veneers from accidental fractures.
*For highly complex skeletal or surgical orthodontic alignments, we work in close consultation with leading orthodontists in the Hudson Valley to coordinate care.
GUARD BENEFITS
Why Choose Custom Protection?
Custom-fit mouthguards protect your teeth, crowns, and jaw joints with superior comfort and durability compared to store brands.
Superior Snug Comfort
Our custom guards are printed from 3D scans, fitting your teeth snugly so they do not fall out or restrict sleep breathing.
Absorb Heavy Grind Pressure
Dual-laminate materials distribute grinding forces, safeguarding enamel from fractures and microscopic splits.
High-Impact Sports Defense
Custom sports mouthguards absorb impact shocks, protecting lips and jaw joint tissues from severe impact damage.
Relieve Joint Morning Pain
By keeping the jaw in a relaxed, slightly open position, night guards stop TMJ muscle tension and morning headaches.
Protect Cosmetic Veneers
Grinding forces can chip porcelain. Custom night guards are the best defense to protect your aesthetic veneers.
Biocompatible Dual Laminate
Our guards utilize hard exterior acrylics to take grinding friction, and soft interior cushions to protect gum tissue.
