Ensure Your Smile Stays Safe With Mouthguards in Gainesville
You only have one smile and it needs to stay intact for the rest of your life, so be sure to take good care of it. One of the best ways to keep your smile in one piece is by using mouthguards in Gainesville. The team at Taylor Dentistry will use digital scanners to take impressions so you can get a professional, lab-made mouthguard for your smile. Our custom appliances will:
- Protect your teeth while playing sports or being active
- Help you avoid painful dental emergencies
- Eliminate harmful teeth grinding
- Relieve jaw pain caused by TMJ problems
Keep your smile safe by calling us today at 352-376-3400 to get a custom-fitted mouthguard. Our office is conveniently located near the intersection of Northwest 43rd Street and Newberry Road. Besides Gainesville, we also serve patients in Alachua, Haile Plantation, Newberry, and Tioga.
Custom Mouthguards Fit & Perform Better
Our professional mouthguards are made to last. Not only will they hold up longer than store-bought mouthguards, they will fit better and provide more protection. If you’re taking time to protect your smile, it pays to get a custom mouthguard that will do the job right. With our digital scanners, you won’t get a mouth full of messy goop while we make impressions of your teeth.
Taylor Dentistry offers different types of mouthguards designed to suit your specific needs. Your options include:
- Athletic Mouthguards – If you’re involved in sports, an athletic mouthguard is essential. It provides cushioning and protection for your teeth, gums, and jaw during high-impact activities. Our custom-fit athletic mouthguards offer superior comfort, fit, and durability. They provide optimal performance and reduce the risk of dental injuries.
- Bruxism Night Guards – Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause damage to your teeth and jaw joints. Our custom-made night guards act as a barrier, protecting your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding. Wearing a night guard while you sleep can alleviate discomfort, prevent wear on your teeth, and maintain the health of your smile.
- TMJ Mouthguards – If you suffer from TMJ pain, a specially designed mouthguard can provide relief. These mouthguards are tailored to your specific bite and help alleviate jaw pain, reduce tension, and promote proper jaw alignment. With the right TMJ mouthguard, you can enjoy improved comfort and function.
For great-fitting mouthguards in Gainesville, call Taylor Dentistry today at 352-376-3400. We’ll help you protect your precious smile!

Always a 5 star experience. Cathy brings a gentleness, care and thoroughness to her work that really stands out among dentists. She puts one at ease, exhibiting real empathy. I’ve never know her to get ruffled or distracted. Her speech is always metered and soothing, her communication free of jargon, adapted to your knowledge level, and you can tell she is listening. There is a joy and good humor about her. I was one of her first patients, and I have to say these same qualities have been with her the whole way. Professional, respectful, knowledgeable, experienced, skillful, focused, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone.

Great Experience. Dr Taylor took a lot of time to discuss a plan for me. I had my teeth cleaned and that was a breeze. Their office staff was friendly and helpful . The office was very clean and the equipment they used was excellent. I highly recommend Dr Taylor .My last visit was this past week for just my regular scheduled teeth cleaning . That procedure was better than any I’ve had over the years. Thier office is very high tech and the Hygenist was very informative. I had no pain and she was extremely knowledgeable . There really is a difference for who you use. Dr Taylor is kind , funny and every thing you would want in a Dentist. Your teeth are a very important detail in your quality of life. I cant recommend them enough Susan C

J. F. (Verified Patient)
I came in with molar pain and cold sensitivity. The staff were friendly and competent. Dr. Taylor took x-rays only of the problematic tooth and did not insist on full x-rays. She found the problem and gave suggestions. She suggested a “wait and see” rather than a new crown, which was a possibility. I appreciate the cautious approach. Best of all, the entire dentistry inspires confidence and I will continue to use their services.

Common Questions About Mouthguards
The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you’re participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding and TMJ disorders.
For any oral appliance to fit well and work effectively, it needs to be customized to the precise measurements of your mouth. Athletes who buy mass-produced guards from a sporting goods store will never find one that is sized comfortably or appropriately enough to provide full coverage and protection. Using impressions of your mouth, we can create a mouthguard that allows you to move, breathe, and communicate easily while keeping your smile safe.
A mouthguard that is custom designed just for your mouth will always outperform one that’s bought off the shelf. It will provide better protection for your teeth against injury, fit better, feel more comfortable, and last longer than an over-the-counter appliance. For this reason, we always recommend that our patients come to us to get a mouthguard.
