Mouthguards are important oral appliances that help protect your teeth. While you can purchase mouthguards at the store, custom mouthguards are made just for your mouth, making them much more effective and comfortable.

At West Veranda Dental Care, we provide custom mouthguards of many kinds. So, whether you need to protect your teeth while you sleep or want to prevent sports injuries, we can craft the ideal mouthguard for you at our comfortable office in Vero Beach.

MOUTHGUARDS AT WEST VERANDA DENTAL CARE

Mouthguards can have a variety of uses and each type is designed to serve a unique purpose in the support of your dental health. A custom sports mouthguard can play an important role in protecting the teeth and the gums when participating in contact sports or any other type of activity that could result in a mouth injury.

SPORTS MOUTHGUARDS

Custom sports mouthguards are designed to absorb the impact of a blow to the face, protecting your teeth, gums, lips, and jaw. Athletes who play contact sports such as football, hockey, basketball, soccer, and martial arts are at a higher risk of dental injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard is an essential piece of protective equipment that can prevent costly dental emergencies.

NIGHT GUARDS FOR BRUXISM

If you grind or clench your teeth at night (a condition known as bruxism), a custom night guard can protect your teeth from excessive wear and damage. Unlike one-size-fits-all guards, our custom night guards are crafted from precise impressions of your teeth for a comfortable, secure fit that you will actually wear.

THE CUSTOM MOUTHGUARD PROCESS

Getting a custom mouthguard at West Veranda Dental Care is simple. We take precise impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab where your guard is fabricated. The result is a mouthguard that fits perfectly, stays in place, and provides maximum protection. Most custom mouthguards are ready within 1-2 weeks.
