CUSTOM GUARDS & RETAINERS
Protection That Actually Fits
Boil-and-bite guards from the sports store are bulky, loose, and usually end up in a pocket instead of a mouth. Custom guards made from precise impressions of your teeth fit securely, let you breathe and talk normally, and actually get worn, which is the whole point. Conveniently located in Kingsland Plaza on Macleod Trail — minutes from Acadia, Fairview, Haysboro, Southwood, and Chinook Station.
What We Make
- Sports mouth guards — essential for hockey, football, rugby, boxing, and any sport with contact or hard surfaces; sized for kids and adults, team colours welcome.
- Night guards — protect teeth from clenching and grinding, ease jaw tension, and prevent expensive wear over time (see our TMD Treatment page if you’re also having jaw pain).
- Retainers — replace a lost retainer or get a fresh one to protect the investment you made in braces or Invisalign.
What Do They Cost?
Custom sports guards in Calgary typically run $100–$300; night guards commonly $300–$600; retainer replacement is quoted per case. Many insurance plans cover night guards for grinding, we check and bill directly. Written quote first, always.
Common Questions
Are custom guards really better than store-bought?
Yes. A custom guard is molded to your exact bite, so it stays in place, doesn’t gag you, and actually protects the teeth it’s covering. Store-bought versions shift, loosen, and often get left in a bag.
How long does it take?
One visit for the impression, then your guard or retainer is ready within about two weeks.
My retainer broke or was lost, how fast can I replace it?
We can usually get a replacement started the same week. Call us and we’ll get you in.
Do kids outgrow sports guards?
Yes, growing mouths need refitting. We check the fit at regular visits and remake when needed so protection keeps pace with growth.
