Pro-Level Protection for Your Most Valuable Asset
For any athlete, investing in the best protective gear is essential for peak performance and safety. While helmets and pads are standard, the single most important piece of equipment for protecting your face and smile is a professionally made, custom sport mouthguard. At Veda Family Dentistry, we craft high-performance athletic mouthguards that provide a level of protection and comfort unmatched by store-bought guards, allowing you or your child to stay focused on the game.
Why Over-the-Counter Mouthguards Aren't Enough
You can find generic "boil-and-bite" mouthguards in any sporting goods store, but they offer a false sense of security and can even hinder performance.
Store-Bought Guards: These are ill-fitting and bulky. They often feel loose, causing an athlete to clench their jaw to hold it in place. This distracts from the game and makes breathing and communicating with teammates difficult. Most importantly, the loose fit provides minimal shock absorption upon impact.
Custom-Fitted Guards: A custom mouthguard is fabricated from a precise impression of your teeth. It snaps securely into place and stays there. The perfect fit allows for easy breathing and clear speaking, and the professional-grade material provides the best possible protection by absorbing and distributing the force of an impact.
Protection Beyond Just Chipped Teeth
A properly fitted athletic mouthguard does much more than prevent a chipped or knocked-out tooth. It is a critical tool for preventing a wide range of painful and costly dental and facial injuries, including:
Fractured or Knocked-Out Teeth
Deep Cuts and Lacerations to the lips, cheeks, and tongue
Nerve Damage to a tooth
Jaw Fractures and Dislocations
Reducing the Severity of concussions by helping to absorb shock from a blow to the jaw
Investing in a custom guard is investing in your overall safety on the field, court, or rink.
The Simple Process for a Perfect Fit
Getting pro-level protection for your smile is a quick and easy two-step process at our office.
The Impression: Your first visit is a brief appointment where we take a quick, precise digital scan of your teeth. There are no messy, goopy putty impressions involved. We can also discuss options for customizing your guard with your team's colors.
The Fitting: In about one to two weeks, your custom mouthguard will be ready. You'll return for a quick fitting appointment where we ensure the guard fits perfectly, is comfortable, and provides maximum protection. You'll leave ready to play with confidence.
