Custom Mouthguard

The lifetime dental rehabilitation costs can approach several thousand dollars per tooth for the athlete who loses a tooth (or teeth) in a sporting injury. In fact, replacing a single knocked-out tooth will cost more than 20 times the preventive cost of a custom-fit, professional-grade mouthguard.

If you or your child plays soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, rollerblading, skateboarding, martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, roller hockey, ice hockey or lacrosse, wearing a custom fabricated mouthguard could significantly reduce the chance of dental injury and reduce the risk of concussion.

Over-the-counter, “boil-and-bite” type mouthguards do not fit as accurately as custom fabricated types. They are often uncomfortable and interfere with breathing and speaking. Boil-and-bite mouthguards provide a false sense of protection due to the dramatic decrease in thickness created when the athlete bites the softened mouthpiece into place.

No child should be participating in sports without wearing a custom-made athletic guard.
