Custom-designed mouth guards are made of flexible plastic and molded to fit the shape of your teeth. Mouth guards are recommended to protect the jaw, tongue, cheek lining and teeth during physical activity and sports such as boxing, football, basketball, or other activities where your mouth might get hit. If you are active in athletics, we can help you determine if any kind of guard or appliance is a good option for you. If so, we will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fit product for your specific needs. The creation of a mouth guard begins with an evaluation of your needs to determine the most suitable type for your situation. Then precise impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom-fit mouth guard tailored to your unique oral anatomy. Once crafted, your mouth guard will be fitted and adjusted for optimal comfort and effectiveness. We'll provide guidance on proper usage, care, and maintenance of your mouth guard to ensure longevity and effectiveness.
"The workers are all extremely friendly and made sure the environment was as comfortable as possible. The facility itself is very clean, well-maintained, and modern! I was so impressed I reached out to family and friends recommending Salinas Valley Dental for their next appointment. Completely shifted my view on what a dentist appointment can be!"
