Sports are a great way to stay active, build teamwork, and boost confidence—but they also come with risks. One of the most common injuries in contact sports? Dental trauma.
At Henday Dental in Edmonton, we offer custom sports mouthguards designed to protect your smile during high-impact activities—because your teeth deserve the same level of protection as your head or knees.
Custom vs. Store-Bought: What’s the Difference?
You’ve probably seen the boil-and-bite mouthguards in sporting goods stores. While they may seem convenient, they often fall short in three important areas:
Fit: One-size-fits-all rarely means “fits well.” A poor fit can be uncomfortable and ineffective.
Protection: Store-bought guards can shift or dislodge during play, offering minimal defense.
Durability: They tend to wear out quickly and need frequent replacement. A custom mouthguard, made specifically for your teeth, provides superior comfort, stability, and long-term protection.

Who Needs a Custom Mouthguard?
If you or your child participate in any of the following sports, a mouthguard is essential:
- Hockey 🏒
- Basketball 🏀
- Football 🏈
- Rugby
- Martial arts 🥋
- Wrestling
- Skateboarding 🛹
- Mountain biking 🚵
Dental injuries can happen even in non-contact sports. A mouthguard helps prevent:

- Cuts to lips, cheeks, and tongue
- Concussions (by absorbing some shock)
What to Expect at Your Appointment?
Getting a custom mouthguard is simple:
- Quick Impression: We take a mold of your teeth right in the office.
- Lab Fabrication: Your guard is made with high-quality, dental-grade materials.
- Fitting Appointment: We make sure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable.
You’ll leave with a professionally crafted, game-ready guard that you can actually wear without discomfort.
