Playing sports is a fun and healthy way to stay active – but it also comes with a risk of dental injuries. A custom sports mouth guard provides essential protection for athletes of all ages by cushioning the teeth, jaw and soft tissues during physical activity. Our dental office provides high-quality, professionally fitted sports mouth guards in Staunton, Virginia, designed for safety, comfort and performance.
Why Mouth Guards Matter in Sports
Contact sports and even some recreational activities can expose players to dental trauma. A sudden fall, collision or impact can cause chipped teeth, jaw injuries or even tooth loss. Sports mouth guards help absorb shock and distribute the force of impact, reducing the risk of injury significantly.
At Companion Dental Care, we recommend custom mouth guards for athletes involved in sports such as:
- Football
- Hockey
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Wrestling
- Martial arts
- Skateboarding and biking
Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouth guards are tailored to fit your mouth precisely. This not only improves protection but also makes them more comfortable and easier to wear consistently.
Benefits of Custom-Fitted Sports Mouth Guards
Custom sports mouth guards offer a level of protection and fit that store-bought guards simply cannot match. Our dentist will create your mouth guard using an impression of your teeth, ensuring a snug fit that stays in place during high-impact activity.
Key advantages of custom sports mouth guards include:
- Enhanced Protection: Reduces the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries and soft tissue damage
- Improved Comfort: Designed to fit your bite, making breathing and speaking easier
- Better Durability: Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting use
- Personalized Fit: Less likely to shift or fall out during play
- Peace of Mind: Supports safe participation in sports at all levels
Whether your child plays in a local league or you are an adult athlete, a custom mouth guard is an important part of your protective gear.
