Prevents Injury
A sports mouthguard cushions your teeth and jaw, lowering the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth and concussions.
Ready to protect your smile on the field and through the night? Custom mouthguards in Woodland Hills, CA, safeguard your teeth from injury, joint pain, and dental emergencies with a comfortable, personalized fit. At Woodland Hills Family Dentistry, we craft these protective appliances to match your unique bite for the highest level of comfort and protection.
Mouthguards are protective appliances that shield your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues during sleep or athletic activity. Because a custom mouthguard is molded to your unique smile, it offers a comfortable shape that will not distract or irritate you, and it is far less likely to fall out than a store-bought option. Whether you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, the right mouthguard is one of the best pieces of insurance you can have for your smile.

Yes, boil-and-bite guards from the drugstore are bulky and loosely fitted, so they often fail to offer real protection. A custom appliance fits your unique bite for better comfort, security, and safety.
Clean it with a soft toothbrush, antibacterial hand soap, and room-temperature water, and avoid abrasive toothpaste or harsh cleaners. Store it in a cool, dry case away from heat so the material does not warp.
