If you or your child participates in sports, protecting your teeth from injury is essential. At Thomson Family Dental, we offer custom-fitted athletic mouth guards designed to provide superior protection during physical activities. Our mouth guards are comfortable, durable, and tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, reducing the risk of dental injuries while you play.
What Are Athletic Mouth Guards?
Athletic mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent injury during sports and other physical activities. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom-fitted mouth guards are designed specifically for your mouth, offering better protection, comfort, and durability.
Benefits of Custom Athletic Mouth Guards
- Superior Protection: Custom mouth guards are designed to absorb and distribute the force of impacts, significantly reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and concussions.
- Comfort and Fit: Because they are made from impressions of your teeth, custom mouth guards fit snugly and comfortably, allowing for easier breathing and speaking during sports.
- Durability: Custom mouth guards are made from high-quality materials that are more durable and longer-lasting than generic options.
- Tailored to Your Needs: Whether you play contact sports like football, hockey, or boxing, or non-contact sports like basketball or soccer, our mouth guards are tailored to provide the best protection for your specific activity.
The Process of Getting a Custom Athletic Mouth Guard
Initial Consultation
We’ll start with an evaluation of your needs based on the sports you play and your dental health. This allows us to recommend the best type of mouth guard for you.
Custom Impressions
To ensure the perfect fit, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom mouth guard.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your mouth guard is ready, we’ll fit it to your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it’s both comfortable and effective.
