Keep Your Family’s Winning Smiles With Athletic Mouthguards in Murrells Inlet

If you or any members of your family enjoy playing sports, we want to keep you smiling long after the games are over. Be sure to protect your winning smiles with custom-designed athletic mouthguards in Murrells Inlet, SC.

Our mouthguards:

  • Are molded to fit your teeth
  • Are more comfortable to wear than store-bought mouthguards
  • Provide greater protection against dental injuries

Studies show that athletes who don’t wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to suffer dental injuries. Protect your teeth by visiting The Smile Center. Call 843-491-5353 for an appointment.

Get the Right Mouthguard to Protect Your Smile

The American Dental Association recommends custom mouthguards because they provide better protection than the boil-and-bite kinds you can buy in stores. You and your family can get our mouthguards as part of our general dentistry services.

Custom mouthguards offer some important benefits:

  • Durability – You can trust that a mouthguard from Dr. Miller is made with materials that are meant to last.
  • Easier Breathing – Bulky boil-and-bite mouthguards can make it difficult to breathe, drink, and speak while you are wearing them. A custom mouthguard makes it easier to do all of those things.
  • Better Fit – Not only will your mouthguard be molded to fit your teeth, but you can also get a specialized mouthguard based on the demands of your particular sport.

We can make mouthguards in our office or specially order them from our trusted lab partners. You can also have your mouthguard made in the colors of your choice to show your personality or your team spirit.

Stay in the Game With Dental Protection

As many as 4 in 10 dental injuries occur during sporting events. Just like you wouldn’t ride in a car without a seat belt, you shouldn’t take to the court or the field without something to protect your smile.

You want every member of your family to keep smiling when the season or your playing days are over. That’s more likely if you have custom-designed athletic mouthguards in Murrells Inlet, SC. Call The Smile Center at 843-491-5353 today for yours. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Athletic Mouthguards

The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you’re participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding, TMJ disorders, and even obstructive sleep apnea.

Yes, and in fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Because these oral devices fit over your upper and lower teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reduce painful symptoms of TMJ disorder, allow the joint to heal naturally, and protect your tooth enamel from damage.

To make your custom mouthguard, we will first take impressions of your mouth. We’ll then use this information to custom-craft your new mouthguard right in our office or with a reputable lab. You’ll come back into the office when it’s ready, and we’ll make sure that it fits comfortably and provides the protection it should.
