Hard Nightguards/Occlusal Splints
As a dental professional, you understand just how damaging teeth clenching and grinding can be for your patients. A custom nightguard will help prevent damage resulting from these involuntary habits while they sleep. Each nightguard/occlusal splint is constructed of either hard or soft material or a combination of both hard and soft material. They are ideal for both the upper and lower arches, based on the doctor’s preference and the indicated use, and can be made with or without anterior guidance.
When prescribing the hard nightguards/occlusal splints, please specify if you want to engage the opposing cusps, or if you desire a flat occlusal plane. Our custom, hard nightguards are fabricated with a clear, heat-cured acrylic for a precision fit and we specially design the anterior region for an optimal path of insertion that can accommodate even severely flared or undercut teeth. This rigid nightguard/occlusal splint can accommodate heavy bruxers and/or patients with moderate TMJ concerns.
Soft and Combination Nightguards/ Occlusal Splints
We also offer three other nightguards, including a combination hard/soft (hard outside with a soft inner liner), soft nightguard, and guards made using the IMPAK material. Our combination hard nightguard/occlusal splint with soft inner liner and our soft nightguard are both produced using 4mm thick vacuum formed material. The combination nightguard consists of a hard outer layer with a soft inner layer. Because raising the vertical dimension in the posterior results in an open anterior bite, for the combination nightguards, we will wax and process clear, hard acrylic onto the anterior occlusal surface so that you receive a nightguard with a balanced occlusal table.
ImpakTM , by Nobilium, is a unique resilient heat-cure dental material. The finished appliance becomes compliant under hot water, which enables quick and easy seating of night guards chairside, with little time spent on adjustments.

Sport Mouthguards
We offer the Playsafe medium duty sports mouthguard by Erkodent. They consist of a 2mm inner layer and a 4mm outer layer. The Playsafe medium duty guards are recommended for sports where objects with a large surface area may be received, such as boxing, biking, basketball, soccer, judo, wrestling, and motocross. They are always fabricated for the maxillary and are extended to the first molars only. Our sport mouthguards fit exactly onto the teeth, do not move, and allow the wearer to breath freely. Additionally, the occlusal surface captures the opposing bite. Please ask us about the available colors.
Anti-Snoring Device
Snoring can cause a significant interruption in your patients’ lives, leading to less restful sleep and other health problems. That’s why when you’re trying to help a patient prevent this nightly occurrence, you need the best dental products available. We can provide you and your patient with the answer you need in the form of a night mouth guard for sleep apnea and other conditions that cause snoring. Help give your patients the best snoring solutions possible by teaming up with us for all of your dental mouthguards and restoration products.
The Silensor-sl
We offer the Silensor-sl mandibular advancement splint. This splint expands the pharyngeal area, which reduces the area’s tendency to collapse and reduces the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) by up to 50%. Snoring can also be reduced by up to 80%. We only produce the best for our clients, so you can be assured you’re bringing your patients the superior products every day. The Silensor-sl is one of the most advanced anti-snoring solutions available today.
The Silensor-sl’s benefits include:
- adjustable advancement

How to use the sl-protrusion gauge
The elasticity of the gouge allows it to adapt to the bending of the bite plane while still allowing a precise registration. The registration, most often auto-mixed silicon, can then be removed due to the construction of the gauge.
Instructions:
1. Clean and assemble the gauge
2. Insert the gauge, watch the center of the frontal teeth
3. Mark the habitual bite situation – push under control the lower into the max protrusion
4. Mark the max protrusion then remove the gauge and mark the desired protrusion
5. Adjust the gauge to the desired protrusion
6. Insert and register
See below for additional information and use protrusion gauge instructions. For protrusion gauges, please call our laboratory. If you have any questions about any of our products, including those to relieve clenching teeth, TMJ mouth guards, or mouth guards for teeth grinding, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
