Custom-made mouth guards are crafted from flexible plastic, shaped to conform precisely to your dental structure. These protective devices are essential for safeguarding your jaw, tongue, cheek lining, and teeth, especially during high-contact sports like boxing, football, or basketball. For those involved in athletics, we can assist in evaluating whether a mouth guard or other appliance might be beneficial for you. If appropriate, we will take impressions of your teeth to design a mouth guard that caters specifically to your requirements. The process of creating your mouth guard starts with assessing your needs to identify the best type for you. We will then make accurate impressions of your teeth to produce a mouth guard tailored to fit your unique oral anatomy. After it is made, we will ensure that your mouth guard is fitted and adjusted for the best comfort and performance. Additionally, we will offer advice on how to use, care for, and maintain your mouth guard for lasting durability and effectiveness.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
