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.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

Why are mouthguards important?

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.

How are mouthguards made?

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.

Which mouthguards work best?

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.
