Protect Your Smile with Custom Athletic Guards | Bohemia Dental Arts

What Are Athletic Guards?
Athletic guards, also known as sports mouthguards, are custom-made dental appliances that fit over your teeth, providing a protective barrier during sports and physical activities. They help prevent dental injuries such as chipped or broken teeth, lip and cheek injuries, and jaw fractures.

Benefits of Custom Athletic Guards:

• Effective Protection: Custom athletic guards provide superior protection compared to over-the-counter options, as they are specifically designed to fit your mouth.
• Comfortable Fit: Our athletic guards are custom-made to fit securely and comfortably, allowing you to speak and breathe easily while wearing them.
• Durable Materials: Made from high-quality, durable materials, our athletic guards are designed to withstand the impacts and pressures of sports activities.
• Versatile Use: Athletic guards are suitable for a wide range of sports, including contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing, as well as non-contact sports like basketball, soccer, and gymnastics.

Our Athletic Guard Process:
The process of getting a custom athletic guard at Bohemia Dental Arts is simple and efficient:

Consultation:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your oral health and discuss your sports activities. Our dentist will help you determine the best type of athletic guard for your needs.

Impressions:
We will take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit athletic guard. These impressions ensure that your guard fits securely and provides optimal protection.

Fabrication:
Your custom athletic guard is fabricated using high-quality materials designed to withstand the impacts of sports activities. The guard is crafted to provide maximum protection and comfort.

Fitting:
Once your athletic guard is ready, you will return to our office for a fitting appointment. Our dentist will ensure that the guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

Caring for Your Athletic Guard:
Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity and effectiveness of your athletic guard. Rinse your guard with cool water before and after each use, and brush it with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Store your guard in a protective case when not in use. Avoid exposing it to heat, as this can cause it to warp.
