Why Choose a Custom-Fit Mouth Guard
While ready-to-wear mouth guards seem more convenient, they often lack a proper fit and fail to protect your teeth and gums. In contrast, the custom-made mouth guards at our Missouri City practice are fully customized to fit over your teeth. They are not only comfortable to wear but also provide maximum protection against dental injuries or tooth damage.
To prepare your mouth guard, our team will take detailed impressions of your oral cavity. These are sent to a dental lab. Once the mouth guard is ready, we will check that it fits properly and doesn’t cause any discomfort.
Types of Mouth Guards We Offer at Our Clinic in Missouri City
During your visit, our dentist will assess your needs to determine the most suitable type of mouth guard for you.
Occlusal Night Guard
An occlusal night guard is a specialized oral appliance for those who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (a condition known as bruxism). Made from a durable, hard plastic material, it cushions your teeth and prevents them from grinding against each other. This not only helps prevent tooth wear and fractures but also helps prevent discomfort and may support more restful sleep.
Sports Mouth Guard
Sports mouth guards are ideal for athletes of all ages, as they prevent injuries caused by contact or high-impact sports. They are made using a special, shock-absorbing material designed to withstand a sudden blow or impact. With this protective gear, you can enjoy your favorite games without risking the health of your teeth or gums.
