Mouthguards are flexible plastic appliances worn to protect the teeth, lips, cheeks,
tongue, and jaw. They are used during activities that can damage the teeth, most
often during contact sports and surprisingly during sleep.
Properly fitted mouthguards can also help reduce the risk of head, neck, and brain
injury by absorbing and dispersing some of the shock caused by blows to the chin.
Considering that the mouth is the most commonly injured part of the body during
contact sports, mouthguards should be an essential component in most physical activities.
Nightguards are specially designed mouthguards worn to protect the teeth from grinding
(bruxing) or clenching of the jaw during sleep.
If you're considering using a mouthguard, the following information will provide
you with a good introduction to the appliance. For more detailed information about
how this appliance may help you, we recommend that you consult a dentist with experience
in fitting mouthguards
Custom Mouth Guards
We also offer a custom-made mouth guard. This protects your teeth with an acrylic
appliance when grinding or clenching your teeth at night during sleep. A sportgard
is especially important when playing sports with risk of facial contact and teeth
or dental injury. In the event of chipped or broken teeth, we are also able to fix
those with veneers or crowns.
We look forward to consulting with you about your preventive dentistry needs!
