A blow to the face during sports can chip, dislodge, or knock out a tooth in an instant. A properly fitted mouthguard is one of the simplest ways to protect against painful dental injuries.
Store-bought guards are bulky and fit poorly, which makes athletes less likely to wear them. A custom guard from Fair Oaks Village Dental is made from a precise model of your teeth, so it fits securely, lets you breathe and talk, and actually gets worn.
Why custom beats boil-and-bite
Boil-and-bite guards from the store are better than nothing, but they are bulky, fit loosely, and tend to fall out or get spit out. A custom guard is built to your exact bite for a secure, low-profile fit that protects without getting in the way, whether you play football, basketball, hockey, martial arts, or any contact sport.
