Custom Mouth Guards
Protect your teeth from injuries and grinding.
What Are Custom Mouth Guards?
A mouth guard is a protective device designed to shield your teeth, gums, and jaw from damage caused by sports activities or nighttime grinding (bruxism). Custom-fitted mouth guards offer superior protection, comfort, and durability compared to store-bought alternatives.
At Mount Zion Dental, we provide high-quality, custom-made mouth guards that ensure a secure and comfortable fit, allowing you to protect your teeth effectively.
Types of Custom Mouth Guards
Tailored Protection for Sports and Nighttime Grinding.
Sports Guards
A sports guard protects against injuries caused by impact, falls, or direct blows to the mouth. If you participate in contact or high-impact sports, a properly fitted mouth guard is essential.
✔ Prevents chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth.
✔ Protects the lips, tongue, and jaw from injuries.
✔ Reduces the risk of concussions from direct impacts.
✔ Custom fit allows for comfortable breathing and speaking.
Who Needs a Sports Guard?
Sports guards are highly recommended for athletes participating in:
🏈 Football
🏒 Hockey
🥊 Boxing & Martial Arts
⚽ Soccer
🏀 Basketball
🚴 Cycling & Skateboarding
Whether you play professionally or recreationally, a sports guard helps prevent long-term dental damage.
Night Guards
Many people experience teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching at night, often without realizing it. This can lead to:
✔ Worn-down enamel & tooth sensitivity.
✔ Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth.
✔ Jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders.
✔ Interrupted sleep and facial discomfort.
A custom night guard provides a protective barrier, preventing further damage and relieving tension in the jaw.
Who Needs a Night Guard?
You may need a night guard if you wake up with:
✔ Jaw pain or stiffness.
✔ Headaches or facial discomfort.
✔ Sensitive or chipped teeth.
A custom-fitted night guard protects against tooth damage and discomfort, ensuring long-term oral health.
