Do You Need a Dental Guard?

Understanding the right protection for your needs is crucial for long-term dental health. Nightguards serve as a protective barrier for people who grind their teeth during sleep, and choosing the best night guard for teeth grinding can make a significant difference in preventing tooth damage and reducing jaw strain.

Sports guards, on the other hand, are specifically designed to protect your entire mouth – including teeth, lips, and gums – from potential injuries during athletic activities, whether from direct contact or accidental falls.

Signs You Need Professional Protection

Teeth Grinding

Many people aren’t aware they grind their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. Watch for these signs:

Jaw pain and muscle fatigue
Worn tooth enamel
Morning headaches
Tired jaw muscles

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a dentist to explore the benefits of a nightguard. Early intervention can prevent long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.

Playing Sports

Contact sports and high-impact activities require proper mouth protection:

Contact sports (football, basketball, wrestling, soccer)
High-risk activities (ice skating, skateboarding)
League requirements for young players
Risk of falls and facial impacts

Many leagues require young players to use sports guards, and for good reason. Even non-contact sports can present risks of falls or accidental impacts.

Protection and Prevention

Nightguards and sports guards are preventive investments that:

Create protective barriers for your teeth
Prevent costly emergency dental care
Cost significantly less than restorative treatments
Provide long-term protection for your dental health

Investing in professional dental guards now can help you avoid expensive emergency treatments and long-term dental problems later. Custom-fitted protection offers superior comfort and effectiveness compared to over-the-counter alternatives.

Our Custom Guard Fitting Process

When you visit The Dental Team for a dental guard, we follow a precise, three-step process to ensure perfect fit and maximum protection:

1. Dental Impressions

We begin by taking detailed impressions of your teeth and jaw structure. These precise measurements ensure your guard will fit comfortably and provide optimal protection for your unique dental anatomy.

2. Professional Lab Creation

Our experienced lab technicians use your impressions to craft your custom guard using high-quality materials. Each guard is individually designed to meet your specific needs, whether for nighttime protection or sports activities.

3. Final Fitting and Adjustment

During your fitting appointment, we ensure your guard fits perfectly and feels comfortable. We’ll make any necessary adjustments and provide care instructions to maximize its effectiveness and longevity.

Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom-fitted guards provide superior protection and comfort, precisely matching your teeth and jaw structure for the best possible results.
