Why Wear an Athletic Mouthguard?

Mouthguards are essential for athletes of all ages and skill levels. They protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury, significantly reducing the risk of damage during high-impact or contact sports. While over-the-counter mouthguards are available, they often don’t provide the same level of protection or comfort as custom-made options. At Elegant Smiles, our custom sports mouthguards are specifically tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, offering superior protection and comfort compared to store-bought alternatives.

Benefits of Wearing a Custom Athletic Mouthguard:

  • Protects Against Tooth Damage: Mouthguards prevent teeth from chipping, cracking, or being knocked out during contact sports.
  • Prevents Soft Tissue Injuries: A well-fitted mouthguard helps protect your lips, cheeks, and tongue from cuts and abrasions caused by impact.
  • Reduces Risk of Concussions: Research shows that custom mouthguards can reduce the risk of concussions by absorbing impact forces during collisions.
  • Improved Breathing and Comfort: Unlike bulky, over-the-counter options, custom mouthguards are designed for optimal comfort, making it easier to breathe and speak while playing.

Sports That Require Mouthguards

While contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing are often associated with mouthguards, they are beneficial for a wide range of athletic activities. Any sport that involves physical contact, sudden movements, or potential impact to the mouth should include the use of a mouthguard.

Sports That Benefit from a Mouthguard:

  • Football
  • Basketball
  • Soccer
  • Wrestling
  • Hockey
  • Lacrosse
  • Gymnastics
  • Skateboarding and cycling

Whether your child is participating in youth sports or you’re an adult athlete, a custom mouthguard from Elegant Smiles can help protect your smile and prevent costly dental injuries. Our custom mouthguards are tailored to fit athletes of all ages, ensuring they get the protection they need to stay safe during sports.

Custom Mouthguards: Better Protection, Better Fit

While boil-and-bite mouthguards from the store provide some level of protection, they don’t offer the comfort, fit, or durability of a custom sports mouthguard. A custom-fitted mouthguard from Elegant Smiles is designed to fit precisely over your teeth, providing better protection and comfort during even the most intense activities.

  • Better Durability: Custom mouthguards are made from high-quality materials that are built to withstand the demands of contact sports, lasting longer than store-bought alternatives.
  • Improved Performance: A properly fitted mouthguard allows for easier breathing and speaking, helping athletes focus on the game without distraction.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My experience at Elegant Smiles was absolutely amazing! Dr. McKie and Daisy made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for throughout my visit. They were both professional, kind, patient, and attentive to my needs. It’s not often that you can say you truly enjoyed a dental visit, but I definitely did! 😊 I appreciate the wonderful care and excellent customer service I received. Thank you, Dr. McKie and Daisy, for making my experience such a positive one. I highly recommend Elegant Smiles! ❤️

Best dental experience I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I gave Elegant a try and didn’t let the dental fear stop me because this is what it’s supposed to be like. Many people would come and do their cleanings more often if this is where they went. Daisy was incredible and brilliant. Personable is an understatement. She made every step of my appointment lighthearted. And Dr. Kimi had a gentle hand and she was incredibly kind. She was knowledgeable and efficient. Both of them never made me feel judged which was my biggest fear. I’m glad I have somewhere to go that won’t put my anxiety in turbo-mode.

As a new patient with this dental practice, i am thoroughly impressed with the staff, their quality of service, and my overall experience. I moved into the area not long ago and have had the hardest time finding a dentist that takes my Humana Medicare plan. So i was excited when i learned Elegant Smiles was an in-network provider (1st star) and i didn't have to wait long for an appointment (2nd star). I scheduled an appt for a basic cleaning but ended up needing a deep cleaning. Well I did miss a few cleanings over the last 2 years so i braced for the situation and proceeded knowing it may be a bit more painful. But i was so wrong and pleasantly pleased. From the start, the warm welcome from Lauren, the dental assistant, was delightful. Her smile and joyful personality is infectious. She's attentive, very good at helping patients relax, and seems to enjoy her work (3rd star). Upon meeting Dr. McKie, i was immediately comfortable with his demeanor and appreciated his recommendations as well as the attention he gives to his patients. But the highlight was the care and gentleness of the cleaning. I've been there twice now to complete the deep cleaning and it truly has been the best dental experience i've had. Dr. McKie's efficiency, quality of service, and professionalism is praiseworthy.

Very amiable staff. They are nice and very professional! I was helped by Hygienist Shewantai and Dr. To and they were the best! They were very gentle and took great care with my teeth. I’ve had many dentists in the past that were very cold and unforgiving with drilling into my teeth, so they were a breath of fresh air the first time I came here over a year ago. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is sensitive to dental work, they will take their time and be gentle with you!

I had an amazing experience at Elegant Smiles. I loved the hygienist Lauren. She was very friendly and informative which helped make me feel comfortable as a first time patient. Dr. Mckie is amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable. He not only educated me, but helped me feel relieved about the concerns I had. I’m very pleased with the treatment I received as well as the customer service. There wasn’t a long wait & their X-Ray process is also super cool and quick! 10/10
