Sports & Occlusal Guards in La Verne, CA

Custom Mouthguards to Protect Your Smile — Day or Night

Whether you’re an athlete on the field or someone who grinds their teeth at night, protecting your teeth from damage is essential. At Pearl Dental Group, we create custom sports and occlusal guards for patients in La Verne, Claremont, and San Dimas to help prevent injuries, preserve dental work, and relieve jaw tension.

Store-bought mouthguards often fit poorly and offer limited protection. Our professionally made guards are tailored to your mouth for maximum comfort, durability, and performance.

What Are Sports & Occlusal Guards?

Sports Guards

Designed for athletes, sports mouthguards help prevent dental injuries during contact sports like football, basketball, soccer, hockey, and martial arts. A custom sports guard cushions your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues — reducing the risk of:

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Lip, tongue, and cheek injuries
  • Concussions and jaw trauma

Occlusal Guards (Night Guards)

These are worn during sleep to protect your teeth from grinding or clenching (bruxism). An occlusal guard:

  • Prevents enamel wear and cracks
  • Reduces jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ symptoms
  • Helps patients with sleep-related bite tension
  • Preserves dental work like crowns, veneers, and fillings

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?

Custom guards offer significant benefits over store-bought versions:

  • Precise Fit – Created from a digital scan or impression of your teeth
  • Better Comfort – Less bulk, easier to speak and breathe
  • More Protection – Guards stay in place and absorb impact more effectively
  • Longer-Lasting – Made from higher-quality, durable materials

Our guards are tailored to your specific dental anatomy and needs — whether you're a child athlete, an adult playing rec sports, or someone dealing with nighttime grinding.

Who Needs a Mouthguard?

You may benefit from a custom guard if you:

  • Play any sport with a risk of contact or falls
  • Grind your teeth at night (often without knowing it)
  • Wake up with jaw pain or tension headaches
  • Have existing dental restorations you want to protect
  • Have been told you may have bruxism or TMJ issues

We also offer guards for patients undergoing cosmetic or restorative work, as added protection post-treatment.
