What is a Dental Appliance?
Maintaining good oral health is more than just brushing and flossing. For those of us who play sports, who clench or grind our teeth or who snore, dental appliances can help preserve and protect our oral structures, and the health of our whole bodies.
Dental appliances offered at Summit Dental – such as sports guards and night guards – are used to help protect the health of your oral cavity.
Sports Guards
We offer custom-made sports mouth guards that fit securely over your teeth to protect your smile during athletic activities.
If you get hit in the mouth while playing a sport, a mouth guard provides a protective barrier between your teeth and the soft tissues of your mouth, helping prevent injuries and keep your smile safe.
Night Guards
We offer custom-made night guards that fit comfortably over your teeth to prevent damage while you sleep.
If you grind your teeth during sleep, a mouth guard will help protect your teeth from damage. If you clench your jaw, a mouth guard will also help prevent you from clenching and provide some pain relief.
