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.

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!

Verified Patient
I was desperately needing a checkup/cleaning coming off a recent mini-stroke that put me in Shands ER, and some other physical issues that could greatly benefit from a dental visit. Dr. Taylor was highly rated, so I called her office in hopes of getting someone who wasn’t booked months out (which is all too likely with dentists in general). By God’s grace, Dr. Taylor’s scheduler said there was a recent cancellation that allowed me to get in quickly (just a day or two). Coming out of some scary medical events in the last couple of years, with complicating issues like a heart condition, systemically high BP and tons of anxiety, Dr. Taylor and her assistant (Chrissy) went way above and beyond to look at my whole health background (took my BP more than once), dental concerns and options, and coordinated with an oral surgeon about a looming wisdom tooth extraction. Dr. Taylor was the most patient/knowledgable dentist I’ve ever met, with a very calming demeanor, and Chrissy and the front desk staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They were able to quickly get me referred with a periodontist for further care after spending a lot of time to formulate a gameplan for my dental needs. I cannot recommend Dr. Taylor more highly. She is exceptional!

Always a 5-star experience. Cathy approaches her work with a rare blend of gentleness, and empathy. She is calming and present in every interaction, communicating clearly without jargon and meeting you right where you are. You always know she is genuinely listening, and her warmth and good humor make every visit a pleasure. 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.

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.
