MORE ABOUT MOUTHGUARDS
Protecting your teeth is our top priority. But, is it yours? There are many ways to protect your teeth against decay, infection, and injury. While preventative maintenance like daily brushing and flossing along with biannual professional cleanings help protect your teeth against infection and decay, you also need to protect your teeth against injury and dental trauma.
While custom-made mouthguards are generally the most effective type of mouthguards, they are not the only type of mouthguards available to you. Your dentist at Restorative and Implant Dentistry will be able to help you determine the best type of mouthguard for you and your lifestyle.
Types of Mouthguards
Stock Mouthguards
These mouthguards come pre-made and are generally inexpensive. They do not, however, fit as well as other types of mouthguards. As a result of inappropriate fitting, stock mouthguards are not typically recommended because they do not protect as well.
Boil and Bite
Boil and bite mouthguards are available at most drug stores and sporting goods stores. Because these mouthguards are made of a thermoplastic material, you simply boil the mouthguard and then place it in your mouth. By softening the material, the mouthguard can mold around your teeth.
Custom-Made Mouthguards
Custom mouthguards are made specifically for you in a lab (or our office). Your dentist at Restorative and Implant Dentistry will take a mold of your teeth to ensure that your mouthguard provides the optimal amount of protection and comfort. While custom-made mouthguards are the most expensive, they provide the most amount of support and protection against injury.
Additionally
At Restorative and Implant Dentistry, our dentists are devoted to providing you with the high-quality, personalized dental care that you deserve. If you need a mouthguard for any reason, our dentists are here to guide you through your decision-making process to ensure that you get the right mouthguard to suit your needs.
