Protect Your Teeth from Injury & Grinding
Whether you need protection during sports or relief from nighttime teeth grinding, custom mouth guards and night guards provide a comfortable, effective solution. At Dr. Blake Brown Dentistry, we offer professionally fitted mouth guards in Durango, CO, to help prevent dental damage, jaw pain, and long-term wear on your teeth.
Types of Mouth Guards We Offer
Sports Mouth Guards
For athletes, a custom sports mouth guard is essential in preventing dental injuries during contact sports like football, basketball, hockey, and soccer. Our mouth guards offer:
- Superior impact protection to reduce the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth.
- A comfortable, custom fit for easier breathing and speaking.
- Durable materials that last longer than over-the-counter options.
If you or your child plays sports, a properly fitted mouth guard is one of the best investments in dental protection.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be grinding your teeth at night. A custom night guard helps:
- Prevent enamel wear and fractures caused by grinding.
- Reduce jaw pain and TMJ discomfort by easing muscle tension.
- Protect restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings from damage.
Bruxism can lead to serious dental issues over time, including cracked teeth and gum recession. A night guard provides a simple, effective way to protect your smile while you sleep.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
You may benefit from a night guard if you experience:
- Frequent morning headaches or jaw pain
- Tooth sensitivity or worn-down enamel
- Clicking or popping sounds in your jaw
- Difficulty opening and closing your mouth
If left untreated, chronic grinding can contribute to TMJ disorders. We also offer Botox treatments as an additional option to relax overactive jaw muscles and relieve TMJ pain.
Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard Over Store-Bought Options?
While over-the-counter mouth guards are available, they lack the comfort, durability, and protection of a professionally made guard. Our custom guards are:
- Precisely molded for a secure, comfortable fit
- More effective at absorbing impact and reducing grinding damage
- Longer-lasting than generic store-bought guards
- Designed to allow easier breathing and speaking
A properly fitted mouth guard means better protection and better sleep—without the bulk or discomfort of one-size-fits-all models.

FAQs About Mouth Guards & Night Guards
How long does a custom mouth guard last?
With proper care, a custom mouth guard can last several years. However, athletes and heavy grinders may need replacements sooner.
Can a night guard stop teeth grinding?
While it won’t stop the habit, a night guard prevents damage and relieves strain on your jaw muscles.
How do I clean my mouth guard?
Rinse with water after each use, brush it with a soft toothbrush, and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
Is a custom mouth guard worth it?
Yes! Unlike store-bought guards, a custom guard provides better protection, comfort, and longevity, making it a smart investment in your oral health.
