How to get a Custom Sports Guard
First, we will take an impression of your teeth. This is made into a model of your teeth. We then make your sports guard with a specialized machine. The mouth piece is made by layering super heated plastic to precise specifications and is then cooled to create an extremely durable mouth guard.
Because custom mouth guards are so precisely made, they are able to provide you with ideal safety and comfort. The level of protection afforded by custom-fitted sports guards is unmatched by any over the counter sports guard. Next, our custom dental mouth guards are extremely durable and their fit is enhanced by the snug shape, which hugs each tooth closely, eliminating unwanted movement.

Wearing a sports mouth guard is essential for protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw while participating in athletic activities. Whether you’re playing football, basketball, soccer, or even engaging in non-contact sports like skateboarding or gymnastics, the risk of oral injuries is always present. A well-fitted mouth guard acts as a cushion that absorbs and distributes the force of an impact, helping to prevent broken or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and damage to the tongue.
Beyond just protecting the teeth, mouth guards also play a crucial role in minimizing the risk of jaw injuries and concussions. When a blow to the face occurs, the mouth guard helps stabilize the jaw and absorb shock, which can reduce the risk of serious trauma to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the brain. This added protection is particularly important for young athletes whose jaws and teeth are still developing.
Custom-made mouth guards from your dentist, like those provided by Dr. Michael Nugent, offer superior comfort, fit, and protection compared to store-bought options. They’re specifically tailored to the shape of your mouth, which means they stay in place better and allow for easier breathing and speaking during play. Investing in a custom sports mouth guard is a smart decision for any athlete who wants to stay safe, protect their smile, and focus on peak performance.
