Whether you’re an athlete looking to protect your teeth during competition or someone who grinds and clenches at night, a custom-fitted guard from Koman Dental Denver provides the protection you need. Unlike store-bought options, our guards are molded to your exact bite for a secure, comfortable fit.
Dr. Koman evaluates your teeth, jaw, and habits to determine the right type of guard for your situation. The result is a durable, precisely fitted appliance that protects your teeth without interfering with breathing, speaking, or sleep.
Mouthguards are designed to shield your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury during contact sports and physical activity. They absorb and distribute the force of impact, preventing chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth along with soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue.
Custom-fit mouthguards offer far better protection and comfort than anything you’ll find over the counter. They stay in place, don’t interfere with breathing or speaking, and are built to withstand repeated impact. Whether you play football, hockey, basketball, or any activity where contact is possible, a professionally made guard is worth the investment.
If you grind or clench your teeth while you sleep, a custom nightguard acts as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent wear, fractures, and enamel erosion. Bruxism can cause significant damage over time, including cracked teeth, receding gums, and chronic jaw pain.
A nightguard also reduces pressure on the jaw muscles and joints, helping to relieve headaches, facial tension, and TMJ-related discomfort. Custom-made nightguards fit precisely so they stay comfortable throughout the night and don’t disrupt your sleep.
Athletes of any age who play contact or high-impact sports should wear a custom mouthguard to protect against dental injuries. If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or notice your teeth are wearing down, you’re likely grinding at night and would benefit from a nightguard.
Dr. Koman can check for signs of bruxism during your routine exam and recommend the right solution. Even if you’re not sure whether you grind, worn enamel and jaw tension are telltale signs we see regularly.

Store-bought guards are bulky, uncomfortable, and offer minimal protection. At Koman Dental Denver, every guard is custom-molded to your bite so it stays in place, feels natural, and does its job.
Common signs include waking up with jaw soreness or headaches, worn or flattened teeth, and tooth sensitivity. Dr. Koman can check for signs of grinding during your routine exam.
Custom guards are molded to your exact bite, so they fit securely and comfortably. Store-bought options are generic, bulky, and offer far less protection. A custom fit also means you're more likely to actually wear it.
With proper care, most custom guards last several years. Heavy grinders may need a replacement sooner. We'll check your guard at routine visits and let you know when it's time for a new one.
Absolutely. Any child playing contact sports should wear a mouthguard. Custom-fit options are especially important for young athletes because they stay in place and offer real protection where it counts.
There's usually a short adjustment period, but most patients get used to it within a few nights. Because it's custom-molded to your teeth, it's far more comfortable than anything off the shelf.
