Mouth guards are essential dental devices designed to protect your teeth from both internal and external damage during physical activities and sports. Typically, these devices are crafted to cover the upper teeth, which are more vulnerable to trauma, but options are available to protect the entire mouth. For those interested in acquiring high-quality mouth guards in Edmonton, Harvest Hill Dental is your go-to dental clinic, we are ready to provide you with the best protective solutions for your smile.
There are primarily three types of mouth guards available, each catering to different needs and preferences:
Harvest Hill Dental is pleased to offer our patients custom-fitted mouth guards that are easy to acquire and comfortable to wear. During your first appointment, which should take no longer than an hour, your dentist will clean your mouth and take precise molds of your teeth. These molds are then sent to a dental lab where your custom mouth guard is crafted using high-grade, biocompatible plastic for durability and comfort.
It typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to create your custom mouth guard, at which time you will be invited back to our clinic for a final fitting to ensure perfect comfort and protection. Proper care and maintenance of your mouth guard are important for its longevity. We recommend rinsing it with cold water after each use and cleaning it with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Storing your mouth guard in a ventilated case will protect it from damage and contamination.
At Harvest Hill Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality dental care and protection. Whether you have questions about the different types of mouth guards or are ready to invest in a custom-fitted device, our team is here to assist you every step of the way.
