Why a custom-fit guard beats shop-bought
Better protection
A snug fit absorbs and spreads force properly.
Easier to wear
Less bulky — talk and breathe more comfortably.
Protects dental work
Helps safeguard braces, crowns and restorations.
Longer lasting
Quality materials with proper thickness choices.
Night guards for grinding (bruxism)
Grinding and clenching can silently wear teeth down and trigger jaw pain or headaches. A custom night guard reduces tooth-on-tooth damage and helps your jaw relax.
Typical price: £188
Sports guards for protection
Ideal for rugby, football, boxing and hockey. We’ll recommend the right thickness so it protects properly without feeling bulky.
If you have braces, we can shape the guard to accommodate them.
Customise your mouthguard
Choose from many colours and patterns — including stripes, text, and fun designs for children. If you want something bold, we can talk you through the options.
How it works
- Assessment — we check your bite, teeth and goal (sports vs grinding).
- Impressions / scan — accurate moulds for a precise fit.
- Lab-made guard — crafted to the thickness and design agreed.
- Fit appointment — small adjustments so it feels secure and comfortable.
No guard can prevent every injury, but a custom guard can significantly reduce risk and damage.
Receiving your guard
Your guard is usually ready to collect in around two weeks. We’ll show you how to insert it, remove it, and store it properly.
- Rinse after use and brush gently (mild soap is fine).
- Let it dry fully before putting it back in its case.
- Avoid hot water (it can warp the fit).
Special designs
If you want to stand out, we can customise your guard with decals, text, stripes or a club-style look — without compromising fit.
We’ll recommend the best type and thickness based on what you play and how you bite.
Anti-snoring appliance
An anti-snoring appliance fits over your teeth and gently holds the lower jaw forward during sleep. This can help stop the jaw dropping back and narrowing the airway.
Book a consultation to check suitability and talk through options. The consultation is £54, and it’s taken off the price of the device if you go ahead.
Price: £595 for a custom two-piece, adjustable device (a mandibular advancement device). That includes the impressions and forward bite record, fitting 1–2 weeks later, and one adjustment review at 4–6 weeks. An annual review after that is £50. This is not the £188 night guard for grinding — it’s a different appliance.
Is it right for you? You need enough healthy teeth to hold the device. Most people’s snoring improves, but it isn’t a guaranteed cure. If you’ve been told you stop breathing in your sleep, feel very sleepy in the day, have high blood pressure or drive for work, please see your GP as well — sleep apnoea needs a sleep study.
A local practice you can rely on
Based in Great Barr, we’re easy to reach for patients across Birmingham and the West Midlands. If you need a guard alongside check-ups or hygiene care, we’ll plan it properly.

Frequently asked questions
Is an anti-snoring device the same as a night guard?
No. A night guard (£188) protects your teeth from grinding. An anti-snoring device is a custom two-piece, adjustable appliance that holds your lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep to help keep the airway open. It is £595, including the impressions and bite record, fitting 1–2 weeks later and one adjustment review at 4–6 weeks. It starts with a £54 consultation, which is taken off the price if you go ahead.
Who is suitable for an anti-snoring device?
You need enough healthy teeth and healthy gums to hold the device, so the dentist checks this at the consultation. Most people’s snoring improves, but it is not a guaranteed cure. If you have been told you stop breathing in your sleep, feel very sleepy in the day, have high blood pressure or drive for work, please also see your GP: sleep apnoea needs assessing with a sleep study. NICE guidance supports custom mandibular advancement devices for mild obstructive sleep apnoea, and we can work alongside your GP or sleep clinic.
How long does a custom mouthguard last?
Often 1–2 years, depending on wear, grinding intensity, and whether your teeth move. We can check the fit at routine visits.
Can I use a sports mouthguard for grinding?
Not recommended. Sports guards are thicker for impact; night guards are shaped to reduce clenching forces and feel comfortable for sleep.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse with cool/lukewarm water after use, brush gently with mild soap, and store dry in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water.
Will a night guard stop grinding completely?
It protects your teeth and can reduce symptoms, but grinding often has multiple triggers (stress, bite, sleep quality). We’ll discuss what’s most likely in your case.
Can children have custom sports guards?
Yes. We size them for growing mouths and can update them as teeth change.
Are mouthguards covered by insurance?
It varies by policy. If you need paperwork for a claim, we can help.

I had been suffering with pain for a few weeks from my wisdom tooth. But unable to get into my usual dental surgery for over a month.
Found an appointment for same day. And due to being anxious about dentist I was worried about going.
When I arrived the staff greeted me and eased my nerves.
During the consultant the dentist and staff made me felt at ease. Went through each step and then went through treatment options. Needed to have the tooth removed. The nurse and dentist were amazing. Comforted me and also allowed to have my mum in the room with me. They went through the procedure with my and then my after care afterwards. I would definitely recommend to anywho is nervous about going to the dentist like me.

Very good experience - I have waited approximately 6 months before reviewing their service.
I called the Dentist at the practice on Boxing Day in December 2023. I was extremely nervous about attending their practice due to a poor service I received at a different dentist on the Yew Tree, West Bromwich.
I was asked to attend their surgery as they suspected I needed a root canal procedure.
The Dentist put my mind at ease and agreed to inform me fully of the procedure. He had full faith in his ability to deliver a service with no pain to be experienced whatsoever.
I did not believe him but I knew I needed the surgery.
He proved me wrong and I had the best experience at a Dentist surgery ever.
I experienced no pain and no discomfort at all. This was a massive relief for me.
The procedure was expensive however it was what I expected due to the Christmas holidays and also having neglected my dental hygiene for years and not having seen a Dentist regularly.
They had me attend approximately 5-6 times over 2-3 months in order to finish the procedure properly with a crown and fitting.
The staff are friendly and very well trained.
I am extremely grateful for their service and I recommend them to all friends and family.
God Bless you all and good luck for the future.
