At Dental Capital SE, we make sports guards in-house, allowing for a faster turnaround and a perfect fit that provides superior protection compared to over-the-counter guards.

Unlike the “boil and bite” guards sold at pharmacies, custom-made mouthguards are crafted precisely to your dental anatomy — ensuring better adaptation, durability, and safety.

Sports Guard vs Night Guard – What’s the Difference?

It’s important to distinguish between a sports guard and a night guard, as they serve different purposes:

  • Sports Guard: Designed to absorb impact and protect teeth during sports or physical activity. Thicker and shock-resistant to prevent trauma from hits or falls.

  • Night Guard: Designed to protect teeth from grinding or clenching (bruxism) during sleep. Slimmer, smoother, and made for comfort rather than impact protection.

At Dental Capital SE, we provide both options — each made in-house for precision, quality, and quick delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do I need a sports guard?A sports guard protects your teeth, lips, and jaw from injury during sports. It cushions the impact from blows or falls, significantly reducing the risk of chipped or knocked-out teeth.

2. What’s the difference between a pharmacy mouthguard and a custom-made one?Pharmacy mouthguards are generic and often uncomfortable. A custom-made sports guard fits your teeth perfectly, stays in place, and provides better protection against dental injuries.

3. How long does it take to make a custom sports guard?Because we make sports guards in-house, we can typically complete them within a few days — or sooner for urgent needs.

4. Can I use a sports guard as a night guard?No. Sports guards and night guards are designed differently. Sports guards protect against external impacts, while night guards protect against tooth grinding. Your dentist will recommend the correct option for your needs.
