Playing sports is a great way to stay active, but without proper protection, injuries to the teeth and jaw can occur. A custom sports mouth guard provides essential protection against dental trauma, reducing the risk of chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth. At our dental office, our team provides high-quality sports mouth guards designed for a comfortable and secure fit to keep your smile safe.
Why Wear a Sports Mouth Guard?
Sports-related dental injuries are common, but a properly fitted mouth guard can help prevent serious damage. Benefits of wearing a sports mouth guard include:
- Protection Against Impact – Reduces the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries and soft tissue damage.
- Better Fit and Comfort – Custom-made mouth guards provide superior comfort compared to store-bought options.
- Improved Breathing and Speech – Designed for easy breathing and communication during play.
- Durable and Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality materials for extended use.
Athletes of all ages can benefit from a sports mouth guard, whether they play contact sports like football, hockey or basketball, or non-contact activities like gymnastics or skateboarding.
The Process of Getting a Custom Mouth Guard
A custom sports mouth guard offers the best protection by ensuring a precise fit. The process includes:
- Dental Impression – Our dentists and team take a mold of your teeth for a perfect fit.
- Custom Fabrication – The mouth guard is crafted from high-quality, shock-absorbent material.
- Final Fitting – The guard is checked for comfort and adjusted if necessary.
Unlike over-the-counter mouth guards, a custom-made guard provides maximum protection without feeling bulky or uncomfortable.
