The Mouth Guard Treatment Process

Consultation and Examination

The journey to getting your custom mouth guard begins with a comprehensive consultation and oral examination. Dr. Lamprecht will discuss your needs, whether it's a night guard for bruxism (teeth grinding) or a sports guard for athletic activities. He will then examine your teeth and oral structure to determine the best type of mouth guard for you.

Impression and Fabrication

Once your needs have been assessed, a dental impression of your teeth will be taken. This impression serves as a mold for your custom mouth guard, ensuring a perfect fit. The impression is then sent to a dental lab, where your mouth guard is carefully fabricated using high-quality, durable materials.

Fitting and Adjustment

When your mouth guard is ready, you'll return to Fremont Family Dentistry for a final fitting. Dr. Lamprecht will ensure that the guard fits snugly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments. He will also provide you with instructions on how to care for your mouth guard to ensure its longevity.

The Benefits Of Mouth Guards

Prevents Tooth Damage

Mouth guards are an excellent preventive measure against tooth damage. They provide a cushion that absorbs and distributes the force of a blow, reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth. For those who grind their teeth at night, mouth guards prevent the wear and tear that can lead to tooth sensitivity and other dental problems.

Reduces Risk of Soft Tissue Injuries

In addition to protecting your teeth, mouth guards also safeguard your lips, tongue, and cheek lining by providing a barrier between them and your teeth. This reduces the risk of cuts and bruises caused by impact during sports or from biting down during sleep.

May Reduce Severity of Concussions

While more research is needed, some studies suggest that mouth guards may reduce the severity of concussions in sports. They do this by absorbing some of the shock transmitted from a blow to the jaw, potentially lessening the impact on the brain.
