Mouthguard

Custom Protection for Active Lifestyles

Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, protecting your teeth is essential. At Sleep Dentistry, we provide custom sports mouthguards for athletes of all ages in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA. Our high-quality mouthguards offer maximum protection, comfort, and durability, reducing the risk of dental injuries during contact sports and other high-risk or high-impact activities.

Why Wear a Sports Mouthguard?

A properly fitted mouthguard can prevent serious injuries, including:

✔ Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth

✔ Cuts and soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue

✔ Jaw fractures and dislocations

✔ Concussions and head injuries by absorbing impact

✔ Braces and dental work protection to prevent damage during contact sports

Who Needs a Sports Mouthguard?

Anyone involved in high-impact, high-risk or contact sports should wear a mouthguard. This includes:

  • Football
  • Basketball
  • Soccer
  • Hockey
  • Wrestling
  • Martial arts
  • Boxing
  • Skateboarding
  • Mountain biking
  • Gymnastics

If you or your child participates in any activity where falls, collisions, or contact are possible, a mouthguard is a smart investment in long-term oral health.
