Get the Protection That Lasts

There are plenty of bite guards and sports mouthguards in the store. Unfortunately, they don't give you the same level of protection as a custom-made one.

A store-bought guard won't last as long or fit as well. A customized one is made using impressions of your teeth and created according to your unique specifications.

As a result, it is easier to wear and stays in place. This makes it more likely you or your child will wear it.

When you come in for your appointment, we'll take digital scans of your mouth to capture bite impressions. Then we'll send the information to a lab that uses the highest-quality materials to create your mouthguard.

Protect Your Smile Day and Night

We offer two types of custom mouthguards tailored to your specific needs at our general dental office. Athletic mouthguards are designed for athletes and provide optimal protection during high-impact sports.

They absorb and disperse impact forces, reducing the risk of chipped or knocked-out teeth, lip lacerations, and jaw fractures. Night guards offer much-needed relief if you suffer from a TMJ disorder that causes you to grind your teeth.

These custom-fit mouthguards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. They prevent the damaging effects of grinding, such as chipped or cracked teeth, and alleviate jaw pain.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

What makes a custom mouthguard worth it?
A mouthguard keeps your smile safe in two big ways. It shields your teeth, gums, and jaw during sports and stops nighttime teeth grinding in its tracks. Getting one made by your dentist means it fits just right and lasts longer than store-bought options.
Can a mouthguard help with jaw pain?
If you wake up with jaw pain, nighttime clenching might be the culprit. Many people grind their teeth or clench their jaws while they sleep, especially when stressed. A custom-fitted nightguard gently holds your jaw in place so your muscles can relax and heal.
Will wearing a mouthguard hurt my teeth?
Actually, it does the opposite—it's like armor for your smile! Sports mouthguards stop teeth from getting cracked, broken, or knocked out during games and practices. Nightguards prevent grinding from wearing down your enamel over time. With a custom fit from our office, you get the best protection possible and avoid needing costly repairs later.

Very good initial dental appointment with efficient evaluation by the dentist and a thorough teeth cleaning by the hygienist. Ashlee was an invaluable resource for natural products. All staff were personable, friendly, and efficient. Other than some wait time, the appointment was very good.
