What are
mouth guards?
A mouth guard is a protective dental appliance worn over the teeth during sports and recreational activities to help prevent injuries to the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding oral structures.
While many people associate mouth guards with preventing chipped or broken teeth, they also play an important role in protecting soft tissues, reducing the risk of jaw injuries, and minimizing the severity of facial trauma.
A custom-made dental mouth guard offers the highest level of protection because it is specifically designed to fit your unique smile.

Who should wear a dental mouth guard?
Anyone participating in activities with a risk of falls, collisions, or facial impact should consider wearing a mouth guard.
Why do I need a dental mouth guard?
While store-bought and boil-and-bite mouth guards may seem convenient, they often lack the precise fit needed to properly absorb and distribute impact forces. Custom mouth guards are professionally fabricated to fit your teeth comfortably and securely.
Comfortable, secure fit
Because custom mouth guards are made specifically for your teeth, they fit comfortably and stay securely in place during activity. This allows athletes to speak, breathe, and perform more naturally compared to generic alternatives.
Prevent costly dental injuries
The long-term consequences of sports-related dental trauma can be significant. Preventing injuries today may help avoid complex and costly restorative procedures in the future, including crowns, root canals, implants, or tooth replacement.
Protection for athletes of all ages
Whether your child is playing youth hockey or you’re participating in adult recreational leagues, a custom mouth guard is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your smile.
