Custom Sports Mouth Guards in Livermore, CA

A knocked-out or fractured tooth is one of the most common sports injuries, and one of the most preventable. A mouth guard cushions impacts to the teeth, lips and jaw, and can reduce the severity of injuries in everything from football and soccer to basketball, hockey and mountain biking.

Sports Mouth Guards at Livermore Dental Care

Store-bought guards are bulky, make it hard to breathe and talk, and are often left in the gym bag for exactly that reason. A custom guard made from a digital scan or impression of your teeth fits snugly, stays put and is comfortable enough to wear every game.

Why custom beats boil-and-bite

  • Precise fit over every tooth for better protection
  • Thinner material where it is not needed, so breathing and speech are easier
  • Durable, so it lasts through a season or more
  • Made for growing mouths; we can update guards as children's teeth change

Getting your guard

We take a quick scan or impression at your visit. Your guard is fabricated to your exact bite and ready for pickup in a short time. Bring it to your next cleaning and we will check the fit.

Common questions

Does my child need a mouth guard for every sport?

Any sport with a risk of falls or contact warrants a guard. Many youth leagues require them. If you are unsure, ask us at your next visit.
