What Are Mouthguards?
Dentist Gilbert
Mouthguards are custom-fitted dental appliances designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during physical activity. At Bronco Family Dental, we create personalized mouthguards that offer superior comfort and protection for athletes of all ages. Whether you participate in contact sports or recreational activities, a properly fitted mouthguard acts as a barrier against impact, reducing the risk of chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth.
Unlike generic store-bought options, custom mouthguards are designed from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit that allows you to speak and breathe naturally. Dr. Emily Maslovich emphasizes the importance of prevention, because protecting your teeth before an injury occurs can save you from pain, costly repairs, and time away from the activities you love. With durable materials and a design tailored to your bite, our mouthguards provide confidence and safety every time you play. From young athletes to adults, we help every patient maintain a strong, healthy smile both on and off the field.

How Mouthguards Work
Precision Fit for Maximum Protection
Dentist Gilbert
Custom mouthguards are designed to provide protection that’s both effective and comfortable. Each one is shaped precisely for your smile, ensuring long-term durability and preventing injuries caused by impact or grinding during athletic activity.
Step 1
Dr. Maslovich takes accurate digital or physical impressions of your teeth to design a contoured mouthguard that fits comfortably and stays in place during movement and intense physical contact.
Step 2
Using advanced materials, your mouthguard is crafted to protect high-risk areas, such as front teeth and molars, while providing flexibility and breathability for easy, confident performance in any sport.
Step 3
You’ll return for a custom fitting to confirm comfort, secure alignment, and effectiveness. Adjustments are made as needed to guarantee maximum protection and ease during every wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should wear a mouthguard?
Anyone participating in activities where contact or falls could occur should wear a mouthguard. It’s especially recommended for athletes in football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, or martial arts to prevent serious dental injuries.
Can children get custom mouthguards?
Yes. We offer mouthguards for children and teens, adjusting designs for growing smiles. A properly fitted mouthguard helps protect developing teeth and encourages safe habits for lifelong oral health.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse it with cool water after each use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, and store it in a ventilated case to keep it dry, odor-free, and hygienic between wears.
How long does a mouthguard last?
With proper care, most mouthguards last several seasons. However, children or frequent athletes may need replacements sooner due to growth, wear, or changes in bite alignment over time.
