Custom night guards (for teeth grinding / bruxism): Las Vegas has one of the highest rates of sleep bruxism of any major American city — driven by shift work, casino noise, stress, stimulant use, and irregular sleep cycles. A custom night guard from Boca is fabricated from a precise impression of your teeth in a professional dental lab. It fits exactly over your upper or lower arch, distributing grinding forces away from tooth surfaces and the jaw joint while you sleep. Unlike boil-and-bite guards, a custom guard is comfortable enough that patients actually wear it — and durable enough to last years.
Custom athletic mouthguards (for sports): Las Vegas is home to a thriving youth-sports community, amateur athletes, recreational leagues, martial-arts gyms, and combat sports. A dental injury from a collision can mean a cracked or knocked-out tooth, a lacerated lip, or a fractured jaw. Custom athletic mouthguards from Boca provide a precise fit from dental impressions, superior shock absorption and retention under impact, normal breathing and speech during play, team-color options, and compatibility with braces for orthodontic patients.
Getting fitted is quick, and your guard is fabricated in a professional dental lab for an exact fit.
Dental impressions are taken of your upper and lower arches. Type, thickness, and material are selected based on the guard's purpose.
Your guard is fabricated in a professional dental lab from high-quality EVA or hard acrylic. Turnaround is approximately 1–2 weeks.
Your guard is delivered, the fit is verified, and minor chairside adjustments are made if needed. You'll receive wear-and-care instructions.
About 1–2 weeks from impressions to delivery
Lab-fabricated from high-quality EVA or hard acrylic for durability and an exact fit

Night-guard and athletic-guard options for all ages, including kids' sports guards.
Athletic guards can be made to fit over braces — far safer than any store-bought option for braces wearers.
Precision-made from your own impressions for protection drugstore inserts cannot match.
