Custom Mouth Guards in New York, NY

Are you experiencing teeth grinding at night, playing contact sports, or dealing with jaw pain? Custom mouth guards provide essential protection for your teeth and jaw while offering superior comfort and fit compared to over-the-counter options. At SmileWorks in New York, we craft personalized mouth guards designed to address your specific dental needs, whether for athletic protection, teeth grinding relief, or TMJ disorder management.

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, SmileWorks offers custom-fitted mouth guards created by our board-certified specialists. Our team utilizes advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure your mouth guard fits perfectly and provides maximum protection. With our state-of-the-art facility and patient-first approach, we deliver dental appliances that enhance your comfort while safeguarding your smile.

The Importance of Professional Mouth Guard Fitting

When protecting your teeth, the difference between custom-fitted and store-bought mouth guards is significant. Professional mouth guard fitting at our Manhattan dental clinic ensures proper alignment, superior comfort, and enhanced protection. Our dentists take precise impressions of your teeth to create a guard that perfectly fits your unique dental structure.

The benefits of professional fitting extend beyond comfort. Custom mouth guards from SmileWorks offer better protection because they’re crafted from durable, high-quality materials designed to absorb and distribute force evenly. This reduces the risk of dental injuries and provides longer-lasting protection for your investment in dental health.

Types of Custom Mouth Guards We Offer

At SmileWorks, we provide various specialized mouth guards to address different needs for our New York patients.

Athletic Mouth Guards

Our sports mouth guards offer crucial protection for athletes participating in basketball, boxing, or any contact sport. These custom-fitted appliances shield teeth from potential trauma during physical activities. Our sports guards are designed to be comfortable enough to allow clear speech and proper breathing while providing robust protection for your teeth and jaw.

Night Guards for Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can cause serious dental wear over time. Our custom-made night guards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent grinding damage. These dental night guards are thinner and more comfortable than over-the-counter alternatives, encouraging consistent nightly use for maximum protection of your tooth enamel.

TMJ Mouth Guards

If you suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, our specialized guards can help reduce symptoms. These custom appliances are designed to properly position your jaw, alleviating pain and discomfort associated with TMJ issues. Our Manhattan TMJ specialists create these guards to fit precisely, promoting proper alignment while you sleep.

Sleep Apnea Appliances

For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, we offer custom oral appliances that help maintain an open airway during sleep. These devices work by gently repositioning the jaw and tongue to prevent airway collapse, potentially reducing snoring and improving sleep quality.

The SmileWorks Custom Mouth Guard Process

Getting your custom mouth guard at our New York dental office involves a straightforward process designed for your convenience and comfort.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination at our Midtown Manhattan office. Our dental professionals will assess your specific needs, whether you’re seeking protection during sports, relief from teeth grinding, or management of TMJ symptoms. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, concerns, and goals to determine the most appropriate type of mouth guard for your situation.

Digital Impressions and Fitting

Unlike traditional messy impression materials, SmileWorks utilizes advanced 3D scanning technology to create digital impressions of your teeth. This comfortable, quick process captures precise measurements to ensure your mouth guard fits perfectly. Our state-of-the-art approach eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional impression methods.

Crafting Your Custom Appliance

Your digital impressions are sent to our professional dental laboratory, where skilled technicians craft your custom mouth guard using high-quality materials. Depending on your specific needs, we select materials that provide the right balance of durability, comfort, and protection. The result is a personalized dental appliance that fits seamlessly and performs effectively.

Final Fitting and Adjustments

When your custom mouth guard is ready, you’ll return to our office for a final fitting. Our dentists will ensure the guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and functionality. We’ll also provide guidance on proper care and maintenance to extend the life of your mouth guard.

Benefits of SmileWorks Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards

Our professional dental guards offer numerous advantages that make them superior to generic options available in stores.

Enhanced Comfort and Fit

The precise fit of our custom mouth guards means they stay securely in place without causing discomfort. This improved comfort encourages consistent use, which is especially important for night guards used during sleep. The personalized fit also makes speaking and breathing easier when wearing athletic mouth guards during sports.

Superior Protection

Custom-fitted guards from our New York dental office provide better protection by distributing impact forces evenly across your teeth and jaws. This superior protection helps prevent dental emergencies like chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth during sports activities. For night guards, the precise fit offers better protection against the damaging effects of grinding and clenching.

Durability and Longevity

Our custom mouth guards are crafted from premium materials that withstand regular use. With proper care, these professional dental appliances typically last longer than over-the-counter alternatives, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health. The durability factor makes them particularly valuable for athletes who rely on consistent protection.

Addressing Specific Needs

Whether you need an athletic guard for basketball, a night guard for teeth grinding, or a specialized appliance for TMJ issues, our custom solutions are tailored to your specific requirements. This personalized approach ensures you receive the exact type of protection or treatment your situation demands.
