Mouth Guards in Houston, TX

Whether you are a professional athlete, a student athlete, or in Little League, one of the most important things you can do is take steps to protect your teeth or your child's teeth before an injury happens. Wearing a mouth guard is vital for contact sports and allows you to reach your full potential as an athlete without worrying about the impact that a blow to the jaw might have on your teeth.

If you are interested in a personalized athletic mouth protector for yourself or your child, please contact our office in The Woodlands, TX for a fitting today.

We offer custom athletic mouth guards for the top teeth and custom mouth pieces for the bottom teeth in order to provide full coverage and protection. We will take an impression of your teeth before sending it to the lab, which allows us to create mouth guards with a snug, superior fit. At TCCD, we can avoid the one-size-fits-all approach and provide the ultimate fit and comfort available.

The process for fitting for a mouth guard couldn't be easier. A series of digital X-rays and dental impressions will be taken in the first appointment. Our dentist will send your specifications to our trusted dental laboratory to be made from high quality materials. Once the mouth guard has been made, you will be scheduled for a fitting to make sure the guard does not need to be sent back for adjustments. Proper fit is the most important element in achieving optimal patient comfort.

Your new mouth guard should last approximately 5-8 years with proper care and cleaning. We will give you instructions on how to store and care for your new mouth guard. Our dentist will also request that you bring it with you to all of your future dental appointments so that he can inspect it for wear and tear, and to discuss any problems with the fit. 

These dental-fit mouth guards are available in a range of custom-color combinations for you to choose from. It can even be personalized with your name and/or jersey number and your team logo so you can show your team spirit.

Taking care of your sports mouth guard is very easy. Each time you wear it, you should make sure to clean it when you brush your teeth. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste to gently scrub the mouth guard and rinse it thoroughly with a cool or lukewarm water. This is get rid of bacteria and make it fresh for your next practice or the big game! Also, it is important to keep it in the protective case given to you by the dentist. Do not keep your mouth guard in the sun, in a hot car, or put it under hot water to keep it from becoming deformed.

Protecting your teeth with a customized mouth guard during your athletic events is not just about saving your smile. Knocked out, chipped, cracked, or broken teeth from a sports injury, like in football, soccer, wrestling, softball, baseball, and more, can be more than a costly cosmetic fix. When teeth are damaged, the effects go below the surface, which can be painful and expensive. We want to help safe guard your teeth with a personalized mouth guard. Call and schedule a consultation with us at your earliest convenience.
