corona mouthguardOur team wants to help protect smiles from injury if you play sports, which is why we offer mouthguards. With our Pro-form option, we can offer strong and durable protection. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about protecting smiles with a custom mouthguard!

The Pro-Form Difference

You can easily purchase a boil-and-bite mouthguard from any sporting goods or big box store. But! These don’t provide the same level of protection that a custom option does, and they tend to require replacement quicker, so the risk of injury to your bite is still high. Which is why we are so proud to offer a Pro-form alternative to better protect your smile from chipped, cracked, and knocked-out teeth.

These are crafted with two different layers of laminated vinyl, and then fitted with a special lingual plate that will sit behind the incisors. This design is unique and helps distribute pressure to protect the teeth from injuries. The laminating process is also crucial, as this helps the guard maintain structure for several uses, and ensure it can last as long as a year, even for active kids and adults!

Creating Your New Mouthguard

This is an option that is crafted and fitted for your smile specifically, so it provides a better layer of protection. We will do this using digital impressions made with advanced technology, and when worn, this not only protects the teeth, but helps lower the risk of cuts and injuries to the gums, cheeks, and even to the jawbone. The risk of a concussion is lowered too, and this also protects orthodontics, such as braces. A fun benefit for many is the ability to customize the colors!

Dental Emergency Treatment

In addition to a custom appliance to prevent injuries, remember that we offer dental emergency care to address any damages that could occur! When a tooth is cracked or chipped, or even knocked-out completely, we can help with same-day emergency care. Even if you reach us when we are closed, you can leave a message and we will reach out quickly to discuss solutions. If you have any questions about our Pro-form mouthguards or about emergency dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more.
