Question 1

Who might consider this treatment?

Accepted Answer

Mouth guards are perfect for athletes or anyone who grinds their teeth at night. They help protect from injuries or wear and are ideal for children, teens, or adults who want to preserve their teeth and avoid future dental problems.

Question 2

What is the typical experience?

Accepted Answer

To get a custom mouth guard, we take impressions of your teeth. A dental lab fabricates your guard, and we make sure it fits comfortably and securely. The entire experience is quick, simple, and helps protect your smile from injury or damage.

Question 3

How long does it usually take?

Accepted Answer

Creating custom mouth guards takes two visits. The first visit (30 minutes) involves taking impressions. The second visit (15–20 minutes) is for fitting and adjustments. Once ready, you can wear it immediately for nighttime grinding or sports protection.

Question 4

Is there anything to keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

Night guards should be cleaned daily with cold water and a toothbrush. Don’t expose them to heat, which can warp the material. For sports guards, always wear during activity and store in a ventilated case when not in use.

Question 5

What should I know about recovery after?

Accepted Answer

There’s no downtime for sports or night guards, but give yourself time to adjust to wearing them. Clean them daily, avoid heat exposure, and store them properly. We’ll check the fit regularly and adjust if needed.
