Contact UsWho should get a custom athletic mouthguard?
Anyone participating in sports or activities with a risk of impact to the face or teeth should consider a custom athletic mouthguard. This includes contact sports like football, hockey, basketball, and martial arts, as well as non-contact sports like gymnastics or cycling where falls can occur. Custom mouthguards offer better fit, comfort, and protection compared to over-the-counter options, making them ideal for athletes of all ages who want to prevent dental injuries during physical activities.
How long does it take to make a custom athletic mouthguard?
The process of getting a custom athletic mouthguard typically takes about 1–2 weeks on average. During the first appointment, our team will take impressions of your teeth to create a precise mold. These impressions are then sent to a dental lab where the new mouthguard is crafted to fit your unique bite. Once your custom mouthguard is ready, you’ll return for a fitting to ensure it’s comfortable, and then you’re free to take it home and begin using it!
Are custom athletic mouthguards covered by insurance?
Coverage for custom athletic mouthguards varies depending on your dental insurance plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others categorize athletic mouthguards as elective and may not offer coverage. Our practice also accepts CareCredit™ and Alphaeon® payment plans, which can help divide the cost of a custom athletic mouthguard into manageable monthly payments.
