Custom Mouth Guards in Camberley
Custom-fitted night guards for teeth grinding and sports mouth guards - far superior to pharmacy alternatives.
Custom-made mouth guards are fabricated from impressions of your teeth, providing a precision fit that boil-and-bite alternatives cannot match. At Accord Dental Practice in Camberley, we make occlusal splints (night guards) for bruxism and sports mouth guards.
Custom Mouth Guards - Key Benefits
- Precision fit from impressions of your own teeth

- Reduces jaw muscle pain and morning headaches
- Sports guards protect against dental trauma in contact sports
Night Guards for Bruxism
Bruxism affects an estimated 10 - 15% of UK adults - most are unaware because it happens during sleep. A custom night guard distributes grinding forces across the splint surface rather than individual teeth - protecting enamel, fillings, crowns, and implants.
Michigan / Tanner Splint
For patients with significant TMJ issues, a Michigan or Tanner splint provides maximum protection and helps reposition the jaw joint. These are prescribed for more complex bruxism and TMD cases.
