Benefits of Custom Mouthguards

  • Superior Protection for Teeth and Gums: Shields teeth from trauma during sports
  • Reduces Risk of Injury: Absorbs shock and minimizes impact on teeth, soft tissues of mouth and jaw
  • Custom Fit = Better Comfort & Performance: No slipping, better breathing, and clearer speaking
  • Ideal for All Contact Sports: Perfect for football, basketball, hockey, martial arts, and more
  • Durability & Longevity: Professionally made guards last longer than store-bought versions

How Mouthguards Work

A sports mouthguard is a protective device worn over the teeth during physical activity. It cushions the mouth from impact, helping to prevent broken teeth, lip injuries, and jaw trauma.

At North Lakewood Dental, we create custom mouthguards by taking digital impressions of your smile. This ensures the device fits securely and comfortably, without the bulky feel of over-the-counter options. Whether you’re an adult athlete or a parent with a child in sports, a professionally fitted mouthguard is a smart investment in oral safety.

Mouthguards FAQ

Who needs a custom mouthguard?
Anyone participating in contact sports or activities with a risk of falls or impact should wear one, including children and adults.
How are custom mouthguards different from store-bought ones?
They’re more comfortable, provide better protection, and are far less likely to fall out during activity.
How often should I replace a sports mouthguard?
Typically once a year, or sooner if your bite changes (especially for growing kids) or the guard shows wear.
Can I use a nightguard as a sports mouthguard?
No—nightguards and sports mouthguards are made from different materials and are designed for different types of protection.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse it after use, brush it gently with toothpaste, and store it in a ventilated case. We’ll give you care instructions when you receive yours.

"I was always nervous about visiting the dentist, but the team at North Lakewood Dental changed that. The sedation dentistry options they offer helped me relax through a big procedure, and I didn’t feel a thing. It was such a relief to finally find a dental office where I feel comfortable and cared for."

"After years of hiding my smile, I decided to try Invisalign at North Lakewood Dental. The process was so easy, and the results have been amazing.
