Custom Mouth Guards in Beverly Hills
We wear helmets on bikes, pads during football, and seatbelts in the car, so why not guard your teeth just as carefully? Whether you’re hitting the field or grinding your teeth while you sleep, a custom-fitted mouth guard is an essential piece of protection for your oral health.
At our Beverly Hills practice, we offer professional-grade mouth guards that go far beyond the store-bought kind. Tailored for your unique bite and lifestyle, these guards offer unmatched comfort, protection, and durability.
Why You Shouldn’t Skip a Mouth Guard
Most people don’t think about mouth guards until they’ve chipped a tooth or wake up with a sore jaw. But prevention is the key to long-term dental health. A custom mouth guard acts as a barrier between your teeth and the forces that put them at risk, be it a tackle on the field or nighttime jaw clenching.
There are two primary types of guards we offer:
- Sports Mouth Guards – Designed to shield your teeth from impact during physical activity and reduce the risk of injury to your lips, teeth, and jaw.
- Night Guards – Worn while sleeping, these help protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and ease strain on your jaw muscles.
Signs You Might Need a Custom Guard
Not sure if you need one? Here are some red flags to watch out for:
- Persistent jaw soreness or tension, especially in the morning.
- Teeth that look flat, chipped, or worn.
- Fillings that frequently crack or fall out.
- Clicking or popping noises when opening or closing your mouth.
- Participation in sports or high-contact recreational activities.
