At Sutton Place Dental Associates, we specialize in crafting high-quality custom mouthguards designed to protect your teeth from injury and wear. Whether you’re an athlete seeking protection during sports or someone dealing with nighttime teeth grinding, our custom-fitted mouthguards offer the comfort and security you need.

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?

Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouthguards are tailored to fit the unique contours of your mouth. This precise fit ensures maximum protection, comfort, and durability. Custom mouthguards are less bulky, making it easier to breathe and speak while wearing them.

Types of Mouthguards

There are several types of mouthguards available:

• Stock Mouthguards: Pre-formed and ready to wear, but often uncomfortable and less effective.
• Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards: Made from thermoplastic material that softens in hot water and molds to your teeth.
• Custom Mouthguards: Professionally made to fit your mouth precisely, offering the best protection and comfort.

Our dental professionals recommend custom mouthguards for their superior fit and protection.​

Who Needs a Mouthguard?

Mouthguards are essential for:​

• Athletes: Engaging in contact sports like football, hockey, or boxing increases the risk of dental injuries. A custom mouthguard can prevent chipped or broken teeth, lip and cheek injuries, and jaw damage.
• Individuals with Bruxism: Teeth grinding during sleep can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. A nightguard can alleviate these issues by providing a protective barrier between your teeth.

The Custom Mouthguard Process

Getting a custom mouthguard at Sutton Place Dental Associates involves:

1. Consultation: We assess your needs and take impressions of your teeth.
2. Fabrication: Using the impressions, we create a mouthguard that fits your mouth perfectly.
3. Fitting: Once ready, we ensure the mouthguard fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.​

Our custom mouthguards are made from durable, high-quality materials designed to last and provide optimal protection.​

Caring for Your Mouthguard

To maintain your mouthguard:​

• Rinse it with cold water after each use.
• Clean it with mild soap and a toothbrush.
• Store it in a ventilated container.
• Avoid exposing it to high temperatures.

Regular check-ups will ensure your mouthguard remains in good condition and continues to fit properly.​
