Who it may help
People whose jaw pain, clenching or grinding flares with stress, anxiety or poor sleep – where the muscles are responding to the mind as much as to the bite.
Whether you are an athlete or simply active in daily life, your teeth can face sudden risks. From sports and outdoor activities to an accidental trip or fall, dental injuries can be painful, costly, and time-consuming. A custom mouthguard is a simple and reliable way to keep your smile safe before damage occurs.
Dental care at Westside is provided by Dr. Zubaida Hussain, dentist and Dental Director, in West Springs, Calgary SW. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide. New patients welcome – no referral needed.
With so many options – stock, boil-and-bite, custom – you might feel overwhelmed. Stock and boil-and-bite options are affordable and easy to find, but they rarely deliver the comfort, fit, or protection of a professionally designed custom mouthguard.

Bruxism, or grinding and clenching, wears down enamel, causes jaw tension, and can lead to headaches. A custom nightguard shields your teeth and eases muscle strain while fitting snugly. Using digital scans, we craft a nightguard that supports both your oral health and restful sleep.
We design custom mouthguards that feel great and offer reliable protection. A well-fitted guard cushions your teeth from impact, reducing the risk of chips, breaks, or tooth loss during physical activity.
Custom-made to match your exact bite pattern, our mouthguards stay firmly in place. Unlike generic versions, they won’t shift mid-activity, so you can focus fully on the moment without distraction.
Wearing a mouthguard often improves breathing and reduces jaw tension. Whether on the field or the trail, you stay comfortable and can perform at your best.
A properly fitted guard helps absorb shock and reduce force on the jaw and head, potentially lowering the risk of concussion during contact activities.
Our dental team creates mouthguards built for your lifestyle – whether hockey, mountain biking, or skateboarding is your passion. We focus on comfort, protection, and a perfect fit.
Protect your teeth and keep doing what you love – without pause. Book an appointment today at our Calgary SW clinic to begin your custom mouthguard fit.
Some jaw pain is mechanical. Some is a stressed nervous system showing up in the masseter. For the second group, Dr. Sabah Jarullah, our on-site family physician, may recommend a course of EXOMIND™ transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) alongside your dental treatment, so the driver is treated as well as the joint.

As an adjunct to the dental plan – appliance, Solea, EMFACE® or EMVITAL® – not a replacement for it. Dr. Sabah screens and assesses every patient first; Dr. Z and Dr. Sabah coordinate the combined plan.
TMS for stress-driven bruxism and TMJ pain is an emerging application supported by the underlying mechanism – stimulation of the prefrontal region that regulates mood and stress – and by ongoing research. It is discussed case by case at your assessment and documented as such.
