MOUTHGUARDS

Your smile is one of your best assets, so you want to protect it, particularly if you’ve invested in dental work or restorations. At our friendly and modern dental practice, our experienced dentists are passionate about preserving the smiles of all of our patients. That’s why we offer durable, custom-fitted mouthguards.

While store-bought, boil-and-bite guards are inexpensive, their primary disadvantage is they do not fit properly. Custom-fitted mouthguards also offer better protection, are more comfortable and are less cumbersome.

Mouthguards can protect against the following:

>Lip lacerations
>Chipped or broken teeth
>Tooth loss
>Nerve damage to a tooth

Protection against sports trauma

If your children play contact sports or do gymnastics, one of the best ways you can protect them is with a customised mouthguard. In addition to offering mouth protection, mouthguards reduce the impact of blows to the jaw; as a result, they can help to prevent concussions.

Night guards for grinding

Do you wake up with headaches, muscle pain or a sore jaw? If you answered yes, you are likely clenching or grinding your teeth, which is also known as bruxism. Teeth grinding can also wear down your bite and break dental restorations. We offer a custom occlusal splint to position the jaw to promote muscle relaxation. Reducing the stress in your jaw provides a sense of relief.

What does the process of getting a mouthguard involve?

The first step is taking an impression of your teeth. Next, we will make a model of your mouth and use it to fabricate the custom guard. The process is quick and simple. It just takes a few days until your customised mouthguard is ready.
