Custom Bite Splints or Guards — Protecting Your Teeth While You Sleep and Beyond
Grinding your teeth at night, clenching your jaw from stress, or recovering from a jaw disorder? A custom bite splint or guard from Bespoke Dental is made precisely for your mouth giving you protection that generic, off-the-shelf options simply cannot match.
What Are Custom Bite Splints Or Guards?
A bite splint or guard is a removable dental appliance worn over your teeth usually at night to protect them from the damaging effects of grinding, clenching, or a misaligned bite. Unlike the one-size-fits-all trays sold in pharmacies, a custom appliance from Bespoke Dental is precision-made from a mould of your actual teeth, so it fits comfortably, stays in place, and does its job properly.
They are one of the most effective and affordable tools in dentistry quietly preventing thousands of ringgit worth of tooth damage before it ever happens.
Types Of Custom Bite Splints And Guards We Offer
Night guard (occlusal splint)
Worn during sleep to protect against teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching. Reduces pressure on the jaw joint and prevents enamel wear.
TMJ stabilisation splint
Designed to reposition the jaw into a more comfortable and balanced position. Often used as part of a broader jaw pain treatment plan.
Sports mouth guard

Daytime clenching guard
A thinner, discreet appliance for patients who clench during the day at work, while driving, or in stressful situations without affecting speech.
How We Make Your Custom Bite Splint Or Guard
Initial consultation and assessment
We examine your teeth, bite, jaw joints, and any signs of grinding or clenching. We listen to your symptoms and discuss which type of appliance suits your lifestyle and needs.
Impressions or digital scan
We take an accurate mould or a digital scan of your upper and lower teeth. This is the foundation of a perfectly fitting appliance. The process is quick and completely comfortable.
Laboratory fabrication
Your impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians craft your splint or guard from high-quality, durable materials chosen for your specific condition.
Fitting and fine-tuning
When your appliance is ready, we fit it in the chair and make any small adjustments needed. You leave with a guard that fits securely, feels comfortable, and is ready to use that night.
Follow-up check
We schedule a review to confirm your bite splint or guard is working well and make any refinements if needed. Your comfort is the benchmark not a checkbox.
