Our dentists and team work hard to keep your smile in good health and free from damage. To help us do this, we offer sports mouth guards to protect our athletic patients from damage that can be sustained during sports. Sports guards are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth while you play and protect your smile from injury, such as knocked-out or chipped teeth. They can also protect you from damage to the soft tissues in the mouth, including the tongue, lips, cheeks and gums. These guards are especially important for patients who play high-contact, aggressive sports such as rugby, football, wrestling and hockey; however, our dentists and team still recommend the use of sports guards in all sports. A sports guard is an easy way to protect the health of your smile!

There are many types of athletic guards available, but we recommend a custom-made mouth guard from our office, as they are highly effective in protecting your teeth from injury and can more comfortably fit your smile. Your custom-made mouth guard will be fitted and designed specifically to your smile.
