Mouthguards at Hershey Family Dentistry

At Hershey Family Dentistry, we specialize in providing custom-fitted oral appliances to protect your teeth and enhance your oral health. Whether you need a night guard to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) or a sports guard to safeguard your smile during athletic activities, our team is here to help.

Night Guards: Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can occur during sleep and lead to various dental problems, including tooth wear, enamel erosion, and jaw pain. A custom-fitted night guard is an effective solution to protect your teeth and reduce the strain on your jaw muscles. Our night guards are made from high-quality materials and are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, providing a barrier that prevents grinding and clenching.

Sports Guards: Participating in sports, especially contact sports, increases the risk of dental injuries. A sports guard is an essential piece of protective gear that cushions your teeth and gums, reducing the chance of chipped or broken teeth, lacerations to the soft tissues of the mouth, and even concussions. Our custom sports guards are tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, offering superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter options.

The Process:

Consultation: Our team will assess your needs and take impressions of your teeth.
Custom Fabrication: Your night guard or sports guard will be custom-made in a dental lab to ensure a precise fit.
Fitting: Once your guard is ready, we’ll ensure it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.

Benefits of Custom-Fitted Guards:

Effective Protection: Prevents dental injuries and protects against the effects of teeth grinding.
Comfort: Custom-fitted for your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit that doesn’t interfere with breathing or speaking.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting protection.
