Mouth Guards

Whether you are playing youth soccer on Saturday mornings or competing in high-contact sports, protecting your teeth during physical activity is one of the smartest things you can do for your long-term oral health. At Creating Beautiful Smiles in Racine, WI, we create custom sports mouth guards that provide a level of protection and comfort that store-bought options simply cannot match.

Dental injuries are among the most common sports-related injuries, and the majority of them are preventable with the consistent use of a properly fitting mouth guard. A well-made sports guard cushions the teeth, lips, and jaw against impact, significantly reducing the risk of broken teeth, tooth loss, soft tissue lacerations, and even jaw fractures. Mouth guards also provide some protection against concussions by absorbing and dispersing the forces from blows to the face and chin.

Custom mouth guards from your dentist fit over your teeth precisely, stay in place without effort, and allow you to breathe and speak comfortably during activity. Because they fit so well, athletes are more likely to wear them consistently, which is the most important factor in whether a mouth guard actually does its job. We make the process quick and easy so you can get back to what you love doing with confidence that your smile is protected.

Getting a custom sports mouth guard at Creating Beautiful Smiles is simple and efficient. Your provider will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth, which are used by our lab to fabricate an appliance that fits your mouth exactly. The process typically requires just one or two short appointments, and we will work to accommodate your schedule.

When your mouth guard is ready, we will make sure it fits comfortably and make any adjustments needed to optimize the fit. We can also discuss thickness and material options based on the sport you play and the level of protection you need. Youth athletes whose mouths are still developing may need periodic replacements as their teeth and jaws grow and change.

We believe every athlete — regardless of age, sport, or experience level — deserves a mouth guard that actually fits and that they will actually wear. If you or your child participates in any sport with a risk of contact or collision, we warmly encourage you to ask us about custom sports protection at your next visit. A small investment in a properly fitted mouth guard can prevent a dental emergency that is costly, painful, and entirely avoidable.
