Protect Your Little Athlete’s Smile

Store bought guards are often bulky and loose. Children naturally remove them to breathe or talk, which leaves their teeth vulnerable when they need protection most. A custom fit changes everything. Because we mold the guard to their unique smile, it stays securely in place. Your child can breathe naturally and communicate with teammates without the distraction of a poorly fitting guard.

• The custom fit stays securely in place during every high energy play.
• Your child can breathe naturally and speak clearly with their teammates.
• Our durable material absorbs sudden impacts to prevent chipped teeth and jaw trauma.
• We craft each guard to match the unique contours of your child’s smile perfectly.

A custom mouthguard does more than sit in the mouth. It acts as a comfortable shield that guards your investment in their oral health throughout their growing years. Dr. Nelson focuses on making sure the guard is lightweight and durable. It provides the peace of mind you need as a parent, allowing your child to play their hardest without the distraction of a bulky piece of plastic.

We know how busy your life is, so we make this process as quick and gentle as possible for you and your child.

Step 1: Dr. Nelson evaluates your child’s dental development to ensure the guard will fit perfectly.
Step 2:We take a comfortable, gentle impression of their teeth to capture their unique smile.
Step 3: We create a durable guard that is ready to protect their teeth during practice and game day.

Dr. Nelson takes a warm, nurturing approach to every patient who walks through our door. We believe that when your child feels comfortable, they are much more likely to take care of their oral health in the long run. We strive to be a friendly, familiar face for your family, ensuring your child feels safe and understood rather than like just another patient in the chair.

Our team is here to help your young athlete stay safe while they play the sports they love. Reach out to us today to schedule an appointment for a custom-fitted sports guard.

How long does a custom mouthguard last?
Because your child is growing, their teeth and jaw alignment change over time. We recommend bringing your child in for a new impression when you notice their current guard feeling tight or if their permanent teeth are coming in. We can assess the fit at their regular check-up.

Is it hard to breathe or talk with a custom guard?
Not at all. This is the biggest advantage of a custom-fit option. Because it is molded precisely to their teeth, it stays in place without being bulky. Your child should be able to communicate with their teammates easily while wearing it.

My child plays a non-contact sport. Do they really need a mouthguard?
Accidents can happen in any activity. Whether they play soccer, basketball, or martial arts, a custom mouthguard is a practical way to prevent significant dental trauma. It provides a level of peace of mind that allows your child to enjoy their sport to the fullest.
