Mouthguards

What Are Mouthguards?

Dentist Augusta

Mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth to help prevent injury during sports, recreational activities, or even nighttime teeth grinding. They act as a cushion, absorbing and distributing impact to reduce the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, as well as jaw injuries and soft tissue damage. Mouthguards can be custom-fitted by dental professionals for maximum comfort and protection or purchased as standard options from stores, though custom devices typically offer a superior fit and enhanced durability.

At Summerville Dentistry, we emphasize the importance of properly fitted mouthguards for patients of all ages. Whether your child plays contact sports or you are looking to prevent damage from teeth grinding, a custom mouthguard provides reliable protection while remaining comfortable enough to wear consistently. Our team educates patients on proper use, cleaning, and storage, ensuring long-lasting performance and oral health safety. Protecting your teeth proactively can prevent costly dental repairs and promote overall well-being.

  Very kind,  efficient and very knowledgeable staff.  I feel very well taken cared of at this practice. Highly recommend them! Recently had some broken tooth issues and with some other medical issues I was having at the time, made it difficult to communicate well with staff. Dr. Bish, Dr. Harper, Nikki (sp) were so accommodating, so helpful and did a great job! Have always enjoyed the great care of Robin and the front staff personnel were great!
