Are you an athlete looking to protect your teeth during high-impact sports? Sports mouthguards are essential protective equipment that can prevent serious dental injuries that require extensive treatment. At Newport Beach Dental Center, we provide professional custom sports mouthguards that offer superior protection, comfort, and durability compared to over-the-counter alternatives.
Dr. Laura Sharbash, with years of experience and prestigious credentials including Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), creates sports mouthguards tailored to your specific needs. Our Newport Beach dental office emphasizes minimally invasive techniques and personalized care, ensuring your custom-fitted mouthguard provides maximum protection while maintaining comfort during your athletic activities.
Store-bought boil-and-bite mouthguards may seem convenient, but they simply cannot match the protection offered by professionally made custom sports mouthguards. Over-the-counter options often fit poorly, feel bulky, and can interfere with breathing and communication during physical activity. They may also wear down quickly, requiring frequent replacement.
Custom sports mouthguards from your Newport Beach dentist are designed using precise dental impressions of your teeth, resulting in a perfect fit that stays securely in place. The professional-grade materials used offer superior impact absorption, distributing forces more evenly across your teeth and jaw, and significantly reducing the risk of dental trauma during contact sports. These custom-fitted mouthguards are also more comfortable, allowing for normal speech and breathing during intense athletic performance.
Youth sports participation continues to grow in Newport Beach and throughout Orange County, making proper dental protection increasingly important. Children and teenagers with developing teeth are particularly vulnerable to dental injuries that can have lifelong consequences.
Our youth sports mouthguards are specifically designed to accommodate growing mouths while providing the same level of protection as our adult models. Dr. Sharbash understands the unique needs of young athletes and creates comfortable, properly fitted mouthguards that children will actually wear during practices and games.
Athletes participating in contact sports face the highest risk of dental injuries. Football, basketball, hockey, and lacrosse players should always wear proper mouth protection. However, even non-contact sports like gymnastics, skateboarding, and mountain biking carry risks of dental trauma through falls or accidental impacts.
MMA fighters and boxers require particularly robust mouthguards that can withstand direct blows to the face. Our specialized high-impact designs offer maximum protection for combat sports while maintaining comfort and allowing proper breathing techniques during competition.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, getting your custom sports mouthguard is a straightforward process that delivers exceptional results. During your sports mouthguard consultation, Dr. Sharbash will evaluate your specific needs based on your sport, position, and dental configuration.
We take precise dental impressions that capture the exact contours of your teeth and gums. These impressions serve as the foundation for creating your personalized mouthguard. Many patients appreciate our same-day fitting options when available, allowing you to get protection quickly before your next practice or game.
Our custom sports mouthguards utilize durable mouthguard material that provides outstanding protection while remaining comfortable. The multi-layered construction absorbs and disperses impact forces that could otherwise damage teeth or jaw structures.
The breathable design features strategically placed airways that facilitate normal breathing patterns during physical exertion. We also offer customized color options to match your team colors or personal preference, making your mouthguard as stylish as it is functional.
While professional sports mouthguards represent an investment in dental safety, they offer exceptional value compared to the potential cost of treating dental injuries. A single knocked-out tooth can cost thousands to replace, not to mention the pain and potential long-term complications.
Sports mouthguards typically cost between $300 and $500, depending on specific requirements and features. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for custom athletic mouthguards, especially for younger patients. Our office staff can help determine what coverage may be available through your insurance provider.
