Dental mouthguards help protect the teeth and the soft tissue of the mouth–tongue, cheeks, gums–from injury during activity that may result in impact, typically during sports, or from heavy grinding. Compared to an over-the-counter mouthguard, a custom mouthguard fabricated by your dentist will be significantly more form fitting, requiring less material and resulting in greater comfort.
If you participate in sports, or if you have been told you clench or grind your teeth at night, our dentists can evaluate whether or not you are a good candidate for a custom mouthguard. In order to fabricate a custom mouthguard, we need only to take an easy impression of your lower or upper teeth.
