Avoid Harming Your Teeth & Jaw With a Custom Mouthguard

You’d be surprised how many patients walk through our doors requiring emergency care because a tooth got knocked out or was injured in some way. We don’t want that to happen to you! It may sound easy enough to just buy a store-bought mouthguard for athletics or teeth grinding. But a store-bought guard won’t give you the kind of protection a customized one provides. Our custom mouthguards are made specifically for the wearer. So they will last longer and be more comfortable to wear.

We offer two kinds:

  • Athletic Mouthguard – This customized device fits over your teeth and gums and protects your lips, teeth, tongue, and cheek. Because it’s created to fit your mouth, it’s easier to wear and provides better protection against injury.
  • Bite Guard – If you tend to grind your teeth, we’ll create a mouthguard that will act like a cushion between your teeth. It will alleviate pain in your jaw and help you avoid damage from grinding such as chips and cracks.

For top-quality mouthguards in Herndon, call 888-907-2535 for an appointment. Or schedule online.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

Why are mouthguards important?

Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and head while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it’s made of high-quality, durable material.

Can mouthguards help with TMJ problems?

Yes. In fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Because these oral devices fit over your upper and lower teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reduce painful symptoms of TMJ disorder, and allow the joint to heal naturally. It also protects your tooth enamel from damage.

Are mouthguards supposed to stay in place?

Yes! Since they can’t protect your teeth if they don’t stay in place, a good fit is important. Unlike store-bought mouthguards, custom mouthguards are made using impressions of your teeth. This means they will fit you perfectly, with no frustrating boil-and-bite process needed. A mouthguard that fits well is also more comfortable, so you won’t be tempted not to wear it.
