Custom Mouth Guards in Phoenix, AZ Biltmore | Smile 24 Dentistry

Smile 24 Dentistry in the Biltmore area of Phoenix, AZ offers custom mouth guards that protect your teeth, jaw, and existing dental work while you sleep or play sports.

What Are Custom Mouth Guards?

Custom dental mouth guards are individually made appliances that fit over your teeth to cushion and protect them from damage.
They are created from an impression or digital scan of your mouth, using durable, medical‑grade materials for a precise and comfortable fit.

Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

Custom mouth guards are recommended for many patients in Phoenix and the Biltmore area, including:

  • People who grind or clench their teeth at night (bruxism) and wake up with worn teeth, jaw pain, or headaches.

  • Athletes in contact and high‑impact sports (football, basketball, soccer, boxing, martial arts, etc.) who need protection from chips, fractures, or knocked‑out teeth.

  • Patients with TMJ symptoms, sensitive teeth, or extensive dental work such as crowns, bridges, and implants that must be protected from excess force.

  • Teens in orthodontic treatment who need a safer fit around braces and other fixed appliances.

Key Benefits of Custom Mouth Guards

Benefit Why It Matters for Patients in Phoenix/Biltmore

Precise, comfortable fit Made from your exact bite, so it stays in place and is easier to wear all night or during sports. 

Protection from grinding damage Helps prevent enamel wear, cracks, fractures, and sensitivity caused by clenching and grinding. 

Safeguards dental work Shields crowns, implants, and bridges from excessive forces that can shorten their lifespan. 

Sports injury prevention Reduces risk of chipped or knocked‑out teeth, soft‑tissue cuts, and jaw injuries during contact activities. 

Support for jaw joints/TMJ Distributes biting forces more evenly and can ease jaw muscle tension and related discomfort. 

Custom vs. Store‑Bought Guards

“Boil‑and‑bite” or off‑the‑shelf guards from the store are generic and often bulky, so they can feel loose, make it harder to speak, and offer less reliable protection. A custom mouth guard from a dentist is shaped to each tooth and your bite, providing better retention, more comfort, and superior long‑term durability.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your visit, the dental team takes a detailed digital scan of your teeth, which is used to design your custom mouth guard for either night‑time use or sports. At the follow‑up, the fit is checked, any adjustments are made for comfort, and you receive instructions on how to clean, store, and replace the guard as it wears over time.
