Custom Mouth Guards in Beverly Hills

We protect our bodies when we play sports. We wear seat belts in the car. But what are you doing to protect your teeth? Whether you're on the basketball court, the football field, or simply grinding your teeth at night without realizing it, a custom mouth guard could be exactly what your smile needs.

In Beverly Hills, we provide custom-fitted mouth guards that go far beyond the basic boil-and-bite options you’ll find in stores. These are tailor-made solutions, crafted for comfort, performance, and long-term dental health.

Why Mouth Guards Matter

Let’s be honest: most of us don’t think about our teeth until something hurts. But when it comes to prevention, a custom mouth guard is one of the smartest tools available. It forms a soft but sturdy shield between your teeth and the forces working against them, whether that’s a stray elbow in a soccer match or your own unconscious clenching while you sleep.

There are two common types:

  • Sports Guards – Built for athletes, these help prevent broken teeth, lip injuries, and jaw trauma.
  • Night Guards – Ideal for those who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism), these guards reduce wear and protect your bite over time.

How Do You Know If You Need One?

Not everyone realizes they need a mouth guard right away. Here are a number of symptoms that you must look for:

  • You are suffering from a sore jaw or dull headaches.
  • Your teeth show signs of chipping or unusual wear.
  • You’ve cracked a filling or two.
  • You hear clicking in your jaw or feel tightness when chewing.
  • You play a sport where contact (or chaos) is part of the game.

The Benefits of Going Custom

So why not just grab a mouth guard from your local pharmacy?
Custom mouth guards are made just for you. Here's what that means:

Comfort You’ll Wear
No bulky fit or awkward edges. Your guard is molded to your teeth so precisely that you might even forget it’s there.
Better Performance
Whether you're competing or sleeping, a proper fit means your mouth can move naturally while staying protected.
Durability
High-quality materials mean your guard can stand up to pressure, wear, and time far more than off-the-shelf alternatives.
Jaw Relief
 For those with TMJ or bruxism, a good night guard can make a huge difference in jaw tension and morning discomfort.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Getting a custom mouth guard isn’t complicated—it’s just careful. Here’s how it works:

  • Evaluation
    We’ll sit down with you and talk through your symptoms, habits, and goals. Whether you're dealing with sports risks or having trouble with nighttime grinding, we tailor the guard accordingly.
  • Impressions or 3D Scanning
    We take precise molds and scans of your teeth to capture every ridge and curve. This is how we ensure a snug and secure fit.
  • Lab Fabrication
    Your guard is crafted from premium-grade materials in a dental lab, not a factory line.
  • Fitting and Adjustments
    When your mouth guard is ready, we check it in your mouth and make fine adjustments so it feels natural and protective.
  • Care Tips
    We’ll walk you through cleaning and storage so your guard stays fresh, safe, and functional for as long as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to manufacture a bespoke mouth guard?
It usually takes one to two weeks to make a bespoke mouthguard. You return to pick up your finished mouth guard after the dentist takes impressions of your teeth during your first session.
Do Insurance Companies Cover Custom Mouthguards?
Some dental insurance coverage may cover custom mouth guards, especially if you have jaw difficulties or grind your teeth. The sports mouth guards are generally not covered by insurance. However, it is better to verify with the provider beforehand.
How Is a Custom Mouthguard Used?
You simply put the mouthguard over your teeth before going to sleep or taking part in any kind of sport. It should be comfortable and fit snugly without being too tight or loose.
How long should you use a mouthguard?
A good, tailored mouth guard can last between three and 10 years, depending on how regularly you use it and how much you grind your teeth. Replace it when it wears out, is damaged, or no longer fits properly.
How Can You Clean a Custom Mouth Guard?

After each use, you must rinse it with cool water and brush gently with toothpaste. To keep it fresh and bacteria-free, soak it once a week in mouthwash or denture cleaning solution.
