Are you need of a mouth guard to help keep your smile safe? Mouth guards come in several varieties designed to keep your teeth and gums safe. If you’re looking for a custom-made mouth guard designed to fit your exact dental profile, visit our office to have a customized one crafted for you. Another helpful product that you should consider that can be customized to your dental impressions is a boil and bite mouth guard, which contours to your dental impression if bitten into when it is soft. A third option is known as a stock mouth guard, which comes preformed and ready-to-wear. However, they are merely a one-size-fits-all option.
