Mouth Guards
At Gold Leaf Dental in Edmond, OK, we care about keeping your natural teeth safe—whether you’re an athlete or someone who grinds their teeth at night. Our custom-made mouth guards provide the best protection, comfort, and durability tailored specifically to your smile.
Why Mouth Guards Matter
Even the strongest teeth can be damaged by impact or wear. Mouth guards act as a crucial barrier that protects your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury or strain. Whether you play contact sports or suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), wearing the right guard can prevent serious dental problems down the road.
Night Guards
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night—a condition called bruxism. A custom night guard, made specifically to fit your mouth, protects your teeth by creating a barrier that absorbs pressure and prevents damage from grinding while you sleep. It can also ease muscle tension and reduce pain, helping you wake up feeling more comfortable and refreshed. Your dentist can assess your needs, take impressions for a perfect fit, and provide guidance on how to use and care for your night guard effectively.
Sports Mouth Guards
Whether you play football, basketball, hockey, or any sport with a risk of falls or collisions, a custom sports mouth guard is essential to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury. Unlike generic store-bought guards, custom mouth guards fit securely and comfortably, allowing you to breathe and speak easily while offering superior durability and protection. Designed to cushion impacts and prevent chipped or knocked-out teeth, these guards are highly recommended for athletes of all ages to keep their smiles safe during any physical activity.
