Who should get a custom athletic mouthguard?
Anyone who plays contact sports—such as football, hockey, basketball, soccer, or martial arts—should wear a custom athletic mouthguard. Mouthguards help protect your teeth, gums, jaw, and even reduce the risk of concussions. Unlike store-bought versions, custom mouthguards are made specifically to fit your mouth, offering better comfort, protection, and durability. Both kids and adults who are active in sports can benefit from this extra layer of safety during practices and games.
What is the process for getting a custom mouthguard?
Getting a custom mouthguard is quick and easy! During your appointment, we’ll take an impression of your teeth to create a mold. This mold is sent to a dental lab, where your mouthguard is crafted using durable, high-quality materials. Once it’s ready, you’ll return for a quick fitting to make sure it feels comfortable and secure. With the right fit, your custom mouthguard will provide excellent protection while allowing you to breathe and speak easily.
When should a custom mouthguard be replaced?
A custom mouthguard should be replaced if it becomes worn, torn, or no longer fits properly. For children and teens, replacements may be needed more often as their teeth and jaws continue to grow. In general, we recommend having your mouthguard checked at your regular dental visits to make sure it still offers proper protection. If you notice any discomfort, changes in fit, or visible damage, it’s best to invest in a new one to stay fully protected.
Are custom mouthguards covered by dental insurance?
Coverage for custom mouthguards varies depending on your dental insurance plan. Some policies may cover part or all of the cost, especially if the mouthguard is medically necessary or used for injury prevention during sports. Our office is happy to check your benefits and help you understand your coverage. For financial questions or more information, we recommend visiting our financial page.
