Dental Sport Guards

Protect your smile and your health with a professional, custom-fit sports guard from Just Dentistry. Unlike generic store-bought options, our mouthguards are crafted from precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a secure, comfortable fit that doesn't interfere with breathing or speech. Investing in a dentist-made guard provides superior impact absorption, significantly reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and even concussions during physical activity.

The Importance of Custom-Fit Sports Mouthguards

The purpose of a sports guard is to protect your teeth from damage or displacement during sports or other vigorous activities and to provide added protection for your head and brain from concussions.

While generic mouthguards are readily available at many drugstores and sports shops, to achieve optimal protection, it is recommended to have a custom-fit mouthguard. This is done by taking impressions of your teeth and having a mouthguard constructed to fit your mouth specifically, usually for the upper teeth.

This ensures a proper fit and maximum protection, as opposed to generic mouthguards that often have poor fit, comfort, and stability during physical activity.

Why a Custom-Fit Mouthguard from Your Dentist is Worth the Investment

While purchasing a custom-fit mouthguard from your dentist may seem more costly, it may be the safest and most effective option for protecting your teeth, particularly for those who participate in sports. Factors that can influence the cost of a dentist-made mouthguard include:

The dentist taking an accurate mold of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and eliminating the need for at-home molding kits.

  • Customization for teeth grinding or clenching.
  • The ability to make adjustments as needed for added comfort and protection.
  • A slimmer, more comfortable fit compared to bulkier store-bought options.
  • sports or have concerns about teeth grinding and clenching

Overall, custom dental mouthguards are highly recommended for those who participate in sports or have concerns about teeth grinding and clenching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generic “boil-and-bite” mouthguards often fit poorly, feel bulky, and can easily fall out during impact. A custom-fit guard is molded specifically to your unique dental anatomy, providing a slimmer, more comfortable fit that stays securely in place. This precision ensures maximum stability and the highest level of protection for your teeth and gums.
Yes. While a mouthguard’s primary job is to protect the teeth, a custom-fit guard also acts as a shock absorber for the jaw. By cushioning the impact and preventing the lower jaw from slamming into the upper jaw, it helps reduce the force transmitted to the skull, which can provide added protection for the brain against concussions.
For adults, a custom guard can last several seasons with proper care. However, for children and teenagers whose mouths are still growing and changing, it is important to have the fit checked regularly. We generally recommend replacing a sports guard if it becomes frayed, loose, or if there are significant changes to the dental structure, such as new adult teeth erupting.
To keep your guard clean and long-lasting, rinse it with cold water or a mild mouthwash after each use. You should clean it periodically with a soft toothbrush and soapy water. Always store it in a sturdy, ventilated container to prevent damage and bacterial growth, and avoid leaving it in hot environments (like a sunny car), as high heat can warp the custom shape.
