When your teeth and mouth need protection from contact sports, bruxism, or to help with snoring, our dentist, Dr. William D. Ledford can customize a mouthguard. At Blue Stream Dental, we want to prevent injury, not just treat it, so please give us a call at (816) 941-0980 for a consultation.
We are dedicated to keeping your smile healthy and free from pain. To help us do this, we provide several types of mouth guards at our office. For our athletic patients, we often recommend a type of mouthguard called a sports guard. These fit over your teeth while you play sports to protect your smile from injury. Sports guards are especially important for our patients who play high-contact sports such as wrestling, football, hockey, and rugby; however, all types of athletes can benefit from an athletic mouth guard. Whether you play soccer, basketball, or baseball, a sports guard can be a great way to protect your smile and keep it safe.
While a number of types of athletic mouth guards are available, a custom-made mouthguard is the most effective in protecting your smile. This type of mouthguard is designed to comfortably fit your smile and prevent dental injury such as knocked out and chipped teeth. A sports guard can also help to prevent injury to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, lips, cheeks, and gums.
Contact our dental office today to learn more about mouth guards and their benefits. We look forward to caring for your smile!
In addition to sports mouth guards, we also design custom night guards to protect your teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) and to ease discomfort related to TMJ disorders. A properly fitted night guard can reduce jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear while improving your overall sleep quality. At Blue Stream Dental in Kansas City, we personalize every mouth guard to fit your bite and provide the comfort and durability you need.
If you often wake up with sore teeth, jaw pain, or frequent headaches, a custom night guard may be the right solution for you. Unlike store-bought guards, our professionally made appliances are crafted to last, fit securely, and give you peace of mind while you sleep.
