Protect Your Smile with Athletic Mouthguards
Contact sports like ice hockey and football require proper protective gear to prevent serious injuries. Just as helmets and pads protect the body, athletic mouthguards are essential for safeguarding your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. At Barrie Heights Family Dentistry, Dr. Rebeca Riojas-Ozturk and her team provide custom athletic mouthguards designed to protect your mouth from sports-related injuries and accidents.
Find the Perfect Mouthguard at BWG Dental Centre
At Barrie Heights Family Dentistry, your Barrie Street dentist can help you choose the mouthguard that fits best. First, a dental exam is needed, during which your dentist will use the iTero digital scanner to map your teeth. This digital image is sent to a dental lab, where a custom mouthguard is crafted specifically for you. At your next appointment, your custom athletic mouthguard will be ready.
Mouthguards are available in different types. Stock mouthguards are pre-molded, inexpensive, and ready to use, while boil-and-bite versions allow a semi-custom fit by softening the material in hot water before biting down.
