Protect Your Smile with Custom Sports Mouth Guards at Freemon Dental in Woodstock, GA

Engaging in sports and physical activities is a great way to stay fit and healthy, but it also comes with the risk of dental injuries. At Freemon Dental in Woodstock, GA, we offer custom sports mouth guards to provide superior protection for your teeth and mouth during athletic activities. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you prevent dental injuries and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

What Are Sports Mouth Guards?

Sports mouth guards, also known as athletic mouth guards, are protective devices worn over the teeth during sports or recreational activities. They are designed to absorb and distribute the force of impact, reducing the risk of injuries such as chipped or broken teeth, tooth loss, and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw.

Types of Sports Mouth Guards

There are three main types of sports mouth guards:

  1. Stock Mouth Guards: These are pre-formed and ready to wear. They are inexpensive but offer the least protection and comfort because they cannot be adjusted to fit your mouth.
  2. Boil-and-Bite Mouth Guards: Made from thermoplastic material, these mouth guards can be softened in hot water and then molded to fit your teeth. They provide a better fit than stock mouth guards but may not offer the best protection or comfort.
  3. Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards: These are designed and fabricated by your dentist to fit the exact contours of your teeth and mouth. Custom mouth guards offer the highest level of protection, comfort, and durability.

Benefits of Custom Sports Mouth Guards at Freemon Dental

Choosing custom sports mouth guards at Freemon Dental in Woodstock, GA, offers numerous benefits:

  1. Superior Protection: Custom mouth guards provide the best protection against dental injuries because they are precisely fitted to your mouth, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
  2. Enhanced Comfort: Custom-fitted mouth guards are more comfortable to wear, as they are designed to match the unique shape of your teeth and gums, making it easier to breathe and speak during activities.
  3. Durability: Custom mouth guards are made from high-quality materials that are more durable and longer-lasting than over-the-counter options.
  4. Improved Performance: A comfortable and well-fitting mouth guard allows you to focus on your performance without being distracted by discomfort or fear of injury.
  5. Preventative Care: By wearing a custom sports mouth guard, you can prevent costly and painful dental injuries, safeguarding your long-term oral health.
