Why Do I Need to Protect My Teeth?
Neglecting to protect your teeth can lead to permanent enamel wear, painful jaw alignment issues, or sudden dental emergencies during physical activity. If you are dealing with unconscious nighttime grinding or if you are playing high-impact sports, a custom barrier is essential to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
Types of Custom Mouthguards
We offer a range of specialized appliances to address different health concerns and lifestyle needs.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Custom night guards create a protective layer that prevents your upper and lower teeth from clenching and grinding while you sleep. The result is reducing wear and morning jaw soreness.
Sports Mouth Guards
Unlike over-the-counter options, our sports guards are molded to your bite to provide maximum shock absorption and stay in place during intense physical activity.
TMJ and Bite Appliances
These appliances are designed to stabilize the jaw joint and relieve pressure on the facial muscles. This helps to manage the symptoms of TMJ disorders and improve overall bite alignment.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring Appliances
For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, these custom devices shift the jaw forward to keep airways open and help them have quieter and more restful sleep.
Benefits of Dental Mouthguards
Long-Term Tooth Preservation:
They prevent the gradual wearing down of enamel and protect existing dental work like crowns and veneers from chipping or cracking.
Pain Reduction:
They help alleviate chronic headaches, earaches, and facial pain associated with nighttime clenching and jaw tension.
Injury Prevention:
They provide a critical cushion during physical activities to absorb shock and reduce the risk of broken teeth or soft tissue injuries.
Improved Sleep Quality:
They promote better rest by reducing jaw strain and, in some cases, helping to keep airways open for more consistent breathing.

Patient Testimonials
Hengameh was kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointment comfortable and stress-free. She was also highly professional and attentive throughout. I truly appreciated her care.
I also had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan ) enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure.
He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time.
If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands!
Last week i made an appointment due to a chipped tooth on my upper left molar. Thats when I found out that Dr Jane has retired and was referred to Dr Sassan. I was skeptical at first but after the procedure i realized that i wont have to worry about finding a new dental clinic for me and my family. Dr Sassan is easy to talk to, professional, honest, gentle and not painful, light with his hands and wont “recommend” Un”necessary” to work. The team is of course exceptional. They never disappoint
I was looking for a dentist in my area, and after checking out a few offices, this one stood out, both for the amazing reviews and how transparent and informative their website was. Before booking, I called with a few questions and the receptionist was very helpful. They explained everything clearly about scheduling, insurance and what to expect as a new patient. Booking was easy and I appreciated the reminder before my appointment.
When I arrived, the office was clean, quiet, and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. which means a lot if you get anxious about dental visits. Mandy, at the front desk, was incredibly kind and patient. She helped with my new patient forms, figured out my insurance details and even took extra time afterward to go over plans, insurance stuff, she took care of it all, answered all of my follow-up questions. She made the whole process simple, transparent and genuinely supportive.
Dr. Sima was just as amazing, warm, gentle, and very thorough. She took her time with me and She explained every step before doing anything, which helped me feel comfortable. Her assistant was also very welcoming and easy to talk to. I have specific dental needs and Dr. Sima went above and beyond to help plan a realistic treatment timeline based on both urgent priorities and insurance coverage. She made sure I understood what to expect and I really appreciated how clear and honest she was about my options, no surprises or confusion. Very excited to have her as my dentist!
The teamwork between Dr. Sima and Mandy was exceptional. Everything felt seamless, organized and genuinely caring.
It had been a while since my last dental visit and I had some anxiety around it, but they made me feel completely at ease. The office is welcoming, spotless & peaceful. the kind of environment that immediately makes you feel calm and welcomed.
After my appointment, Dr. Sima and Mandy clearly explained next steps, insurance details and how follow-ups would work.
Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for gentle, honest and thorough dental care in a warm, welcoming environment… I can’t recommend this office enough.They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. I was so happy with my visit that I immediately booked my son’s first appointment here too. I left feeling anxiety free, supported and cared for. I’m really glad I chose this office and look forward to my next visit!
Their hygienist Irina was so kind and sensitive cleaning my teeth. She instantly put me at ease.
Dr Jane is a great dentist explaining every detail. She truly cares about her patients.
I have already recommended a few people to go there. It’s right at Pape station on the Danforth.
If I could, I would give them 6 stars.
FAQ
Do I need a guard if I don’t play contact sports?
Yes, accidents can happen in non-contact activities like gymnastics or cycling. Additionally, many people require guards for non-athletic reasons, such as managing stress-related teeth grinding or jaw tension.
How long does a mouth guard last?
Can a mouth guard stop teeth grinding?
While a mouth guard doesn’t stop the habit of grinding itself, it effectively prevents the damage caused by the habit. It acts as a layer that takes the pressure and saves your tooth enamel from being worn down.
Are mouth guards covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover custom-made mouth guards, especially when they are medically necessary for bruxism or TMJ. We recommend checking with your provider, or contact our office to help you with the necessary documentation.
