About Our Advanced Dentistry Services
Experience the comfort and care of Physimed Dentaire’s advanced dentistry services, designed to meet your unique needs with precision and ease. We offer custom Sports Guards and Night Guards to protect your teeth from damage and alleviate discomfort. For those struggling with sleep disturbances, our Sleep Apnea Treatment provides effective, personalized solutions to help you rest easy. Each service is delivered with gentle expertise, ensuring your well-being every step of the way.
Sports Guards
If you or your child plays a sport like boxing, football, soccer, baseball, wrestling, or hockey, we highly recommend a custom mouth guard to protect your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Unlike over-the-counter mouth guards, a custom-made guard is specially crafted and adjusted for a more comfortable and secure fit, providing better protection. To reduce the risk of oral injuries, we invite you to contact our clinic for more information about our custom-made mouth guards.
What Are The Benefits?
Using a custom mouth guard offers several important benefits, that include:
- Safeguards teeth, gums, and jawbone from injury during sports.
- Tailored to your mouth for a secure and comfortable experience.
- Allows easier breathing and speaking compared to generic guards.
- Designed to last longer and withstand more impact than store-bought options.
- Lowers the chance of chipped teeth, cuts, and jaw damage.
Protect your smile with a custom-made mouth guard designed just for you!
What to Expect when getting a mouth guard
Mouth guards are essential if you or your child play contact sports or any sport with a higher risk of injury. To create your custom mouth guard, we will take digital impressions of your mouth and send them to a dental lab, where your guard will be crafted from high-quality, durable materials. Once it’s ready, you’ll return to our office for a fitting, where your dentist will ensure it fits comfortably and securely. We recommend wearing your mouth guard during sports or any time your mouth needs protection. To extend its lifespan, be sure to store it in a safe place and clean it before and after each use.
Night Guards
Teeth grinding at night, or bruxism, is a common issue that affects many people. While the visible sign is often the wear on your teeth, nocturnal bruxism can also cause tooth pain, headaches, inflammation, and discomfort in your neck and jaw. At Physimed Dentaire, we offer custom night guards designed to protect your mouth from the effects of teeth grinding while you sleep. Made from high-grade materials, these night guards are crafted to fit comfortably in your mouth, helping to reduce grinding and jaw clenching. To learn more about how a custom night guard can benefit you, schedule a consultation at our clinic.
What Are The Benefits?
Using a custom night guard can make a world of difference if you’re dealing with teeth grinding or bruxism. Here are some great benefits:
- Protects Teeth: Shields against damage from grinding and clenching.
- Reduces Pain: Helps alleviate tooth pain, headaches, and jaw discomfort.
- Prevents Wear: Minimizes the erosion and wear of tooth surfaces.
- Comfortable Fit: Crafted from high-grade materials for a snug and comfortable fit.
- Improves Sleep: Reduces nighttime grinding and clenching, leading to more restful sleep.

What to Expect During Your Nightguard consultation
Several symptoms may suggest that you are clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth at night, such as waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or facial swelling. To diagnose bruxism, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss the symptoms you’re experiencing. If a night guard is recommended, we’ll take digital oral impressions to create a custom guard in our dental lab. Once your night guard is ready, you’ll return to our office for a fitting, and we’ll provide you with care instructions to ensure it lasts. For optimal results, it’s important to wear your night guard each night to alleviate pain and prevent further dental issues caused by bruxism. In some cases, night guard therapy may be combined with other treatments for the best outcomes.
Retainers
Our dental retainer services are thoughtfully designed to keep your smile beautifully aligned for years to come. We offer clear aligners that are virtually invisible and effortlessly removable as well as fixed wire retainers for lasting worry-free support. Each option is tailored to fit comfortably, providing gentle yet reliable alignment that blends seamlessly into your daily routine. With our customized retainer solutions, you can enjoy the confidence of a radiant, perfectly aligned smile long after your orthodontic journey.
What Are The Benefits?
Our retainer services are designed to help you maintain your beautifully aligned smile with ease and confidence. Whether you choose our nearly invisible clear aligners or the lasting support of fixed wire retainers, each option offers unique benefits to keep your smile radiant and healthy.
- Long-Lasting Smile Alignment: Retainers help preserve the results of orthodontic treatments, keeping your teeth beautifully aligned.
- Customized Comfort: Each retainer is carefully fitted for maximum comfort, allowing for a natural feel and easy integration into your daily life.
- Discreet and Convenient Options: Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible solution, while fixed retainers provide constant support without requiring removal.
- Low Maintenance: Fixed retainers require minimal upkeep, and clear aligners are simple to clean and store, making retainers a hassle-free choice.
- Confidence and Consistency: Retainers support a lasting, radiant smile, giving you the confidence to show off your beautiful alignment every day.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
During your retainer appointment at our clinic, you’ll experience a seamless, personalized process designed to ensure a comfortable and effective fit. The visit begins with an initial consultation, where our dentist reviews your orthodontic history and assesses your current alignment to determine the most suitable retainer for your needs, whether a clear aligner or a fixed wire retainer. To ensure a precise fit, we take detailed impressions or digital scans of your teeth, which allow us to create a custom retainer that feels natural and secure.
Once your retainer is ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment, during which we check its comfort and make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit. We’ll also provide detailed care instructions, guiding you on proper cleaning, storage, and maintenance for your specific retainer type. Periodic follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor your retainer’s effectiveness and overall dental health, ensuring that your smile remains beautifully aligned. Our goal is to make each step of the process comfortable and professional, leaving you confident in your retainer and your smile.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is characterized by frequent pauses in breathing during sleep, caused by relaxed muscles blocking your airway. These interruptions can briefly wake you and put added stress on your heart, potentially leading to increased blood pressure and daytime fatigue. At Physimed Dentaire, our skilled team specializes in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea with effective dental solutions, including custom night guards. If you suspect you have sleep apnea and want to explore relief options, reach out to our office today.
What Are The Benefits?
Oral appliance therapy (OAT) can be a game-changer if you’re seeking a comfortable and effective solution for sleep apnea. Here are some standout benefits:
- Comfortable Alternative: A more pleasant option compared to CPAP machines.
- Portable and Convenient: Easy to use and ideal for travel.
- Improves Sleep Quality: Ensures an open airway for restful, uninterrupted sleep.
- Reduces Daytime Fatigue: Helps you feel more refreshed and alert during the day.
- Custom Fit: Personalized to your mouth for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Experience the ease and benefits of oral appliance therapy for a more restful night’s sleep!
What to Expect During Your Appointment
If you have mild to moderate sleep apnea and prefer to avoid using a CPAP machine, a dental solution might be just what you need. At Physimed Dentaire, your dentist will evaluate your symptoms to recommend the best treatment for you. We often use oral appliance therapy (OAT) to manage sleep apnea, which involves a custom device that fits comfortably in your mouth at night, similar to a mouth guard or retainer. Unlike these devices, OAT gently moves your jaw forward to keep your airway open. With various options available, our expert team will ensure you receive the right appliance tailored to your needs. It is important to note that in Quebec a sleep test is required and done by a sleep doctor, and all appliances must be prescribed.
