If you or a loved one are active in sports or other physical activities that could be tough on your teeth, a sports mouthguard is a great investment toward safeguarding your smile. Your teeth play an important role in your day to day activities and should be protected at all costs. Athletic mouthguards can help prevent expensive dental issues down the line that could not only hurt your mouth but your wallet, too! We provide customized protective mouthpieces that shape to your unique smile, giving you the most thorough coverage you can get. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
There are a number of activities that could endanger a smile, including:

Do you suffer from bruxism (also known as the unconscious grinding and/or clenching of your teeth either when you’re awake or asleep). In addition to athletic mouthguards, we also offer nightguards that are designed to protect your teeth but still allow for a good night’s rest. When you come in for your next biannual checkup, ask about how nightguards can lead to better rest and healthier teeth.
Sports mouthguards in Las Cruces vary in price depending on your unique smile. When you schedule a consultation, we’ll be sure to give you an accurate price estimate.

If you have a mouthguard made from a dental professional like Las Cruces Dental Solutions, it will not damage your teeth. In fact, its whole purpose is that it’ll protect your teeth from damage, whether that be due to an athletic injury or nighttime grinding. The problem is if you have a poorly fitting mouthguard, possibly one of the generic boil-and-bite ones from a store. With those, it’s possible that if it doesn’t fit properly on your teeth, it’ll end up doing more harm than good.
It’s difficult to say whether or not dental mouthguards are “expensive” because everyone has a unique budget. Plus, your dental health is priceless! It’s true that mouthguards made by a dentist are more expensive than storebought versions—but that covers making a custom mold of your teeth to ensure perfect fit and function. It’s truly a case of you get what you pay for.
If you have dental insurance, it may cover a portion of the costs for a mouthguard, so we recommend talking to your provider to see what’s covered in your plan. If you don’t have dental insurance or your plan doesn’t cover mouthguards, you may want to consider joining our in-house dental plan to get a discount on our services.
We look forward to meeting you. Please Call (575) 527-4746 or request an appointment online to set up your first visit. We’ll be in touch soon.
