Sports Mouth Guards in Escondido, CA

EVERYTHING ABOUT SPORT GUARDS

Protect teeth during practice and play

A custom sports mouth guard cushions impacts to help protect teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaw. It fits securely (no constant clenching), making it easier to breathe and communicate—so you can focus on the game.

How it works

We take a quick scan or impressions and fabricate a guard that’s shaped to your bite (and brackets, if present). Thickness is tailored to your sport. You’ll try it in, and we’ll adjust for a snug, comfortable seal.

Good fit if you want to:

Play contact or fast-moving sports (football, basketball, soccer, hockey, martial arts)

Want better protection and comfort than boil-and-bite trays

Wear braces and need room to protect brackets and soft tissues

What to expect

One short visit for records, then a delivery visit for fit and comfort checks. You should be able to talk and breathe well without clenching to keep it in place.

Care & longevity

Rinse after use, brush with mild soap (not toothpaste), and air-dry in a ventilated case. Keep it away from heat and pets. Replace if it feels loose, shows wear, or after orthodontic changes.

Costs & financing

We’ll review a clear estimate before treatment. Our procedures are often elective; flexible financing is available through CareCredit® and LendingClub®.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a dentist-made guard really different?

Yes. Custom guards fit your bite precisely, stay put better, and protect more evenly than store-bought trays.
