Achieving a Confident Smile
Dentist McKinney
Welcome to our practice, your trusted partner in dental care. We understand the importance of protection in all areas of life, especially in sports. Just like you wouldn’t go to a game without your uniform, you shouldn’t go without a proper sports mouthguard. We are dedicated to protecting your teeth while you focus on the game.
Protect Your Game Face with Our Custom Mouthguards
Engaging in sports is a great way to stay active and healthy, but not without its risks. Each year, an estimated 13-39% of all dental injuries occur while playing sports. The introduction of mouthguards in American football has prevented about 200,000 mouth and teeth injuries annually. However, the risk remains high in other sports, such as basketball, where players frequently face injuries from the ball, ground, or hoop.
Our practice provides personalized care to ensure that every athlete can play safely and effectively. We offer custom-fitted sports mouthguards that provide far more protection than off-the-shelf options. Whether you are playing football, basketball, hockey, or any other sport, we will ensure your mouthguard keeps you safe and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dentist McKinney
Why should I choose a custom-fitted mouthguard?
Custom-fitted mouthguards offer superior protection compared to store-bought versions. They fit perfectly, providing better shock absorption and reducing the risk of injuries.
How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?
It typically takes about one to two weeks from your initial impression to the final fitting. This process ensures your mouthguard is perfectly tailored to your teeth.
Can I wear a mouthguard with braces?
Absolutely! We specialize in creating mouthguards that accommodate braces, ensuring that both your braces and teeth are protected during sports.
How do I care for my mouthguard?
Rinse your mouthguard with cold water or a mouth rinse before and after each use. Clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste regularly, and keep it in a ventilated container when not in use.
