Nightguards & Sports Guards
Your teeth are among the strongest structures in your body — but they're not indestructible. Nightly grinding and contact sports are two of the most common causes of cracked teeth, worn enamel, and jaw pain. A custom-fitted guard from 124 Street Dental provides precision protection that store-bought versions simply cannot match.
How It Works
Assessment
Dr. Basi evaluates your teeth and bite for signs of wear, cracks, or grinding, and discusses your specific protection needs.
Digital or Physical Impressions
We take accurate impressions of your teeth to ensure the guard fits exactly to your bite — no gaps, no bulk, no discomfort.
Custom Fabrication
Your guard is professionally fabricated in a dental lab using high-quality materials designed for durability and comfort.
Fit & Adjustment
We seat the guard and make any precision adjustments so it fits securely, feels comfortable, and doesn't interfere with your bite.
Care Instructions
We walk you through how to clean and store your guard to maximize its lifespan — most last several years with proper care.

Q.How is a custom guard different from one I buy at the drugstore?
Custom guards are fabricated precisely to your bite using lab-grade materials. Store-bought guards are generic, often bulky, and can actually shift teeth over time if they don't fit correctly.
Q.How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Common signs include worn flat teeth, jaw soreness upon waking, headaches, cracked teeth, and a partner who reports hearing grinding sounds. Dr. Basi can identify grinding damage during a routine exam.
Q.Do I wear a nightguard on both arches?
Nightguards are typically made for one arch (usually upper). They create a protective barrier between upper and lower teeth so grinding doesn't cause damage.
Q.How long does a custom guard last?
With proper care, a custom nightguard lasts 3–5 years, and a sports guard 1–3 years depending on wear intensity. We'll check the fit at your regular appointments.
