Mouthguards

Your dentist can create a custom mouthguard made from impressions of your teeth. For any oral appliance to fit well and work effectively, it needs to be customized to the precise measurements of your mouth. Mass-produced guards from a sporting goods store are one-size-fits-all, so they often won't provide full coverage and protection.

A mouthguard that is custom designed just for your mouth will always outperform one that's bought off the shelf. It provides better protection for your teeth against injury, fits better and feels more comfortable. For this reason, we always recommend that you visit your dentist for a custom mouthguard.

A custom mouthguard is made from impressions of your teeth, creating a secure, comfortable fit that's designed specifically for your smile. Compared to store-bought options, custom mouthguards typically provide better protection and are more comfortable to wear. They are less likely to shift during use.

Anyone who participates in contact sports or activities with a risk of falls, collisions, or impact should wear an athletic mouthguard. Your dentist can create a custom mouthguard that helps protect your teeth, gums, and jaw while allowing you to speak and breathe more comfortably.

A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. It helps reduce the wear caused by grinding and clenching, protecting your enamel and lowering the risk of cracked, chipped, or worn teeth.

The lifespan of a custom mouthguard depends on how often it's worn and how well it's is cared for. During your routine dental visits, we'll check its condition and let you know when it's time for a replacement to ensure it continues providing effective protection.

Rinse your mouthguard with cool water after each use and clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap or a cleaner recommended by your dentist. Store it in a protective case when it's not being worn, and bring it to your dental appointments so we can check it for wear.
