Get the Right Protection for Your Teeth

Lessen Effects From Grinding & Clenching

Waking up with jaw discomfort, headaches, or sensitive teeth could be a sign that you’re grinding or clenching while you sleep.

A custom night guard provides a protective cushion that absorbs pressure, preventing wear and damage to your enamel.

Unlike over-the-counter options, a professionally made guard fits securely and allows for natural jaw movement, reducing strain on your muscles and joints. This helps stop jaw pain, headaches, and similar issues.

A night guard helps safeguard your teeth, reduce pain, and promote better sleep. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind about preventing long-term dental damage.

Your dentist can also help you get a custom-made appliance that will make it easier to breathe while you sleep. The appliance will move your jaw into a position that keeps your airway clear during the night. You’ll snore less – or not at all – and feel more refreshed and alert during the day.

Stay Safe With an Athletic Guard

For those who play contact sports, a sports mouthpiece is essential for protecting your teeth from injury.

A properly fitted guard helps absorb impact, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. It also shields your tongue, lips, and cheeks from accidental bites or cuts.

No matter where you play — on the field, court, or mat — a custom-fitted guard offers better protection, comfort, and longevity than generic store-bought options.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

Why are mouthguards important?

The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you’re participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding, TMJ disorders, and even obstructive sleep apnea.

Which mouthguards work best?

The best mouthguard is one made especially for your or your child’s mouth. A professionally made mouthguard will outperform a store-bought “boil-and-bite” mouthguard because it will fit better, provide superior protection, and last longer. At Melton Dental, we can have athletic mouthguards made, as well as mouthguards for TMJ pain and for sleep apnea.

Are mouthguards covered by insurance?

Your insurance policy may cover a portion of the cost of your new mouthguard. We recommend checking with your individual carrier to see what your policy does and does not cover. We’ll work with you to maximize your insurance benefits. Plus, you’ll have several payment options for out-of-pocket costs including third-party financing from CareCredit.
