What Are Sports Mouthguards?

Sports guards are specially designed devices worn over your teeth to prevent dental injuries during sports and physical activities. They absorb shock and help protect against broken teeth, jaw injuries, and lacerations to your lips, tongue, or face. Custom mouthguards fit snugly and provide superior protection compared to store-bought options while maintaining comfort and performance.

Types of Sports Guards

Custom-Fitted (Professional): Highest level of protection and comfort, made from precise impressions by dental professionals.\n\nBoil-and-Bite: Better than stock options but offers inferior fit and durability compared to custom guards.\n\nStock Guards: Pre-formed and least protective option; not recommended for serious athletes.


Our Approach

Our inlay and onlay process combines precision, comfort, and expertise. The procedure typically involves two appointments: first for preparation and impressions, then for final placement. Each step is carefully executed with your comfort and optimal results in mind.
