Mouth Guards
Keeping Your Smile Safe
You have to do more than just brush and floss your teeth to protect and maintain good oral health. If you participate in sports or clench or grind your teeth, a custom-fitted mouth guard can help you keep your smile safe.
The benefits of dental appliances go beyond just protecting teeth from impact. When you sleep better, you feel better, which is why night guards can help patients who struggle with sleep-related issues. In addition to protecting the teeth, sports guards can help protect the inside of the mouth from sustaining injuries from the teeth themselves, in case of impact.
While it is true that you can buy mouth guards that are not custom-made, that may not be an ideal solution. By having your dentist create a mouth guard custom-fitted to your teeth, you can benefit from greater comfort and support.

Sports Guards to Prevent Dental Trauma
When playing sports, the right equipment to protect your knees, head, and shoulders is essential, but you don't want to forget about protecting your smile.
Sports-related injuries account for many emergency room and emergency dental visits, but you can avoid this with the help of a custom-made sports guard.
These oral appliances are custom-made to fit your teeth and gums. They are made from high-quality materials that absorb impact, to help prevent damage to teeth, lips, gums, and other areas of your face.
By choosing to wear a custom-fitted mouth guard, you can reduce your risk of needing emergency dental care.
Night Guards for Grinding & Snoring
People who grind their teeth while they sleep can end up with chipped or fractured teeth, tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and more. These symptoms are the result of the constant pressure and stress on their jaw.
A mouth guard can help protect your teeth from wear and tear, help keep you from clenching your jaw, and offer some pain relief, to help you get a good night's sleep. They can also help save the cost of tooth restoration in the future.
For patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, a personalized appliance can help keep the airway clear by moving the lower jawbone slightly forward.
