Whether you grind your teeth at night or participate in contact sports, protecting your teeth from damage is essential.

Unlike over-the-counter options, our mouthguards are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, reducing the risk of dental injuries and long-term complications.

Personalized Dental Solutions for Teeth Grinding and Sports Protection

Led by Dr. Robert Springer, our Uptown Minneapolis practice provides high-quality, personalized dental solutions in a welcoming, patient-focused environment. If you suffer from teeth grinding, jaw pain, or need protection during sports, a custom mouthguard can help safeguard your oral health.

Why Use a Custom Mouthguard?

A custom mouthguard provides superior protection compared to store-bought alternatives. It is specifically designed to fit your teeth, making it:

• More comfortable to wear
• More effective at preventing injuries
• Less likely to slip or fall out
• Longer lasting than standard boil-and-bite options

Mouthguards are highly recommended for patients experiencing bruxism (teeth grinding), jaw clenching, or participating in contact sports.

Types of Mouthguards We Offer

At Isles Dental, we provide two types of custom mouthguards to meet different needs.

Occlusal Mouthguards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Many people grind or clench their teeth at night, often without realizing it. This condition, known as bruxism, can lead to:

• Tooth wear and fractures
• Jaw pain and TMJ disorders
• Headaches and facial tension
• Increased risk of cracked or broken teeth

A custom occlusal mouthguard provides a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing grinding damage and alleviating strain on the jaw muscles.

Sports Mouthguards for Athletic Protection

Athletes of all ages should wear sports mouthguards to prevent dental injuries during high-impact activities. A properly fitted sports mouthguard protects against:

• Knocked-out teeth
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Lip, tongue, and gum injuries
• Jaw fractures and concussions

Our custom sports mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably, allowing for easy breathing and speaking while offering superior protection compared to store-bought versions.

The Benefits of a Custom Mouthguard

• Prevents Dental Injuries – Reduces the risk of broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth.
• Alleviates Jaw Pain – Helps relieve symptoms of TMJ and teeth grinding.
• Fits Comfortably – Custom-made for a secure and snug fit.
• Durable and Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality materials that provide superior protection.
• Enhances Athletic Performance – Allows athletes to breathe and speak easily while staying protected.

A well-fitted mouthguard can make all the difference in preventing costly and painful dental injuries.

What to Expect When Getting a Custom Mouthguard

1. Dental Examination – We assess your oral health to determine the best type of mouthguard for your needs.
2. Digital Impressions – A precise mold of your teeth is taken using advanced scanning technology.
3. Fabrication of Your Mouthguard – Your custom mouthguard is created in a high-quality dental lab for a perfect fit.
4. Final Fitting and Adjustments – Once ready, we ensure a comfortable, secure fit for maximum effectiveness.

The process is quick and painless, and your custom mouthguard is typically ready within a few days.

Caring for Your Custom Mouthguard

To ensure long-lasting protection, follow these care tips:

• Rinse your mouthguard after each use with cool water.
• Store it in a ventilated case when not in use.
• Avoid exposing it to high heat, as this can warp the material.
• Clean it regularly with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
• Bring it to dental checkups so we can inspect for wear and tear.

With proper care, a custom mouthguard can last several years, providing continued protection for your teeth and jaw.
