Emergency & New Patients Welcome!
Keep yourself safe and active with personalized mouth guards
We prioritize the safety of your natural teeth, especially during sports or high-impact activities. Despite their strength, teeth can still be at risk of breaking or getting damaged without proper protection. That's why we provide custom-made sports mouth guards for individuals of all ages. These guards are designed to fit your smile perfectly and help prevent injuries while you participate in your favorite activities. Whether you're engaging in contact sports or simply staying active, wearing a mouth guard is an easy way to prevent serious dental issues.
Why Mouth Guards Are Important
Curious about why we recommend mouth guards? There are two key reasons. Firstly, they protect your teeth during sports by preventing chips, cracks, or even tooth loss from sudden impacts. Custom sports mouth guards offer superior comfort and protection compared to store-bought options. Secondly, mouth guards are also beneficial for those who grind their teeth at night, which may indicate jaw joint issues. A specialized mouth guard worn while sleeping can alleviate pressure on the teeth and jaw, preventing further damage.
One Easy Way to Safeguard Your Teeth
Looking after your teeth today can prevent more serious issues in the future. This is why we suggest mouth guards for many of our patients, particularly those who participate in sports or have taken up new activities involving physical contact. Incorporating mouth guards into your regular dental routine is a wise decision.
In the event of an injury, our team at Titanium Dental & Implants is here to help. We offer comprehensive dental care, from providing protective mouth guards to restoring damaged smiles. No matter what your requirements may be, we are committed to assisting you in maintaining healthy and strong teeth.
Keep your smile safe during the night with a personalized night guard
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. A custom night guard can help alleviate discomfort and improve your sleep by protecting your teeth.
Our dental office offers professionally made night guards that are comfortable, durable, and tailored to fit your smile perfectly. These custom night guards are designed to prevent grinding or clenching by fitting over your upper teeth while you sleep.
Unlike store-bought options, a custom night guard is made specifically for your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit. Say goodbye to morning jaw pain and headaches with a custom night guard from our office.
Indications that you may require a night guard
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may find relief with a night guard:
- Jaw pain or tightness upon waking
- Frequent headaches
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Clicking or popping in your jaw
- Disrupted sleep or feeling tired upon waking
Even if you are not aware of grinding, your dentist can often identify the signs during a routine checkup.
Night guards are effective in preventing teeth grinding
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, often happens while you sleep, so many people don’t even realize they’re doing it. Over time, this grinding can wear down tooth enamel, cause chips or cracks, and put strain on your jaw.
A custom night guard works by creating a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This helps in several ways:
- Helps to absorb pressure caused by grinding and clenching
- Prevents teeth from making direct contact with each other
- Decreases the likelihood of damage to teeth, fillings, and crowns
- Relieves muscle tension in the jaw, potentially alleviating pain and headaches
Consistently wearing a night guard can safeguard your teeth from potential long-term harm and improve your overall well-being by ensuring you wake up feeling rejuvenated and free from discomfort.
Obtaining a personalized night guard
Obtaining your night guard is a simple process:
- Dental Exam: We assess your teeth and jaw to ensure a night guard is suitable for you.
- Impressions: We take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to craft a personalized night guard.
- Fitting: Once it's made, you'll come back to test the fit. We'll make any necessary adjustments.
- Wear Nightly: Use your night guard every night as directed, and maintain it by rinsing and storing it correctly.
