What About an OCT Mouthguard?

While it may be tempting to opt for a “boil and bite” device, getting a mouthguard from the dentist has several benefits: a better fit and more comfort, enhanced protection, higher quality, and increased durability and ease of maintenance.

The Process

Getting your custom mouthguard at our practice is straightforward. Simply schedule a visit, and we’ll take an impression of your teeth. Your mouthguard will be ready for you to take home and use the same day. Proper care can extend the lifespan of your device, ensuring it remains effective and comfortable.
