Choosing Smiles of Bulverde for your sports guards means opting for unparalleled quality and customized care. We take pride in providing each athlete with a sports guard that not only fits perfectly but also offers superior protection and durability. Our family dentist in San Antonio is dedicated to ensuring that your guard meets your specific needs, enhancing both safety and performance on the field.
Our sports guards are designed as a preventative measure to protect against facial and dental injuries, helping avoid the stress and high costs of emergency dental treatments. By safeguarding your teeth during sports, these guards help maintain your oral health and reduce the need for diagnostic treatments like digital X-rays after sports injuries.
Wearing a sports guard can significantly boost your confidence during play. Knowing that you are protected allows you to focus fully on the game and perform at your best without fear of injury. This added confidence can be crucial during competitive sports, letting you play harder and smarter.
Custom-fitted sports guards offer superior comfort, which can improve your concentration and overall performance. A comfortable mouthguard means less distraction and irritation, allowing athletes to stay focused on the game rather than adjusting their guard.
The process begins with a consultation to understand your specific needs, rule out issues that may require oral surgery, and take precise impressions to ensure the sports guard fits flawlessly.
Your impressions are used to craft a sports guard tailored specifically to your mouth. This customization ensures optimal comfort and protection.
Once your sports guard is ready, we'll have you try it on to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal is to ensure that your guard is comfortable and effective before you take it to the field.
Yes. Athletes who do not wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to suffer dental injuries. A sports guard doesn’t just protect your teeth from chips or being knocked out; it also protects your lips, tongue, and cheeks from lacerations. Furthermore, by absorbing the impact of a blow to the lower jaw, it can help reduce the risk of jaw fractures and certain types of concussions.
No. While you can buy "boil and bite" guards at sporting goods stores, they are often bulky, uncomfortable, and provide inconsistent protection. Because they aren't precisely molded to your teeth, they can fall out during an impact, right when you need them most. Our custom fabricated guards at Smiles of Bulverde are designed from a 3D impression of your mouth, ensuring they stay securely in place and allow you to breathe and speak clearly.
To keep your guard in top shape and avoid bacterial growth, follow these steps:
Yes, and it is highly recommended. An impact to the mouth while wearing orthodontics can cause the metal brackets to cause significant damage to your soft tissues. We create specialized guards that provide a "channel" for your braces, allowing the teeth to move as intended by your treatment while still providing a shield against external trauma.
If you notice your guard has become thin, has holes, or no longer fits snugly, it’s time for a new one. Bring your guard to your regular dental cleaning so Dr. Ding can inspect it for you.
