Custom Athletic Mouth Guards
Professionally fitted sports mouth guards that protect far better than boil-and-bite, and stay comfortable all game.
A single hit to the mouth can mean a broken or knocked-out tooth, and a lifetime of maintaining the repair. For young athletes (and adult ones), a custom-fitted mouth guard is the cheapest dental insurance there is.
Unlike bulky boil-and-bite guards from the sporting-goods store, a custom guard is made from a precise model of your athlete’s teeth. It’s slimmer, more protective, and easier to breathe and talk through, which means it actually gets worn all season.
Getting one made is quick and painless, and pairs easily with a regular cleaning visit. Ask us at your next appointment, or give us a call before the season starts.
Common questions
Why not just buy a boil-and-bite guard from the store?
Store-bought guards are bulky, fit loosely, and athletes tend to chew on them or leave them out. A custom guard is molded precisely to the teeth. It protects better, it’s easier to breathe and talk through, and it’s far more likely to actually be worn.
Which sports need a mouth guard?
Any sport with contact or fall risk: football, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, martial arts, skateboarding, and more. A knocked-out or broken tooth is a lifelong dental issue, and prevention is dramatically cheaper.
How do we get one made?
It’s easy. We take a quick scan or impression at our office, and the custom guard is ready shortly after. Kids’ guards can be made in fun colors.
