Protect Your Dental Implants with Custom Mouthguards

August 20, 2015 4 min read

You recently had $10,000 worth of dental implants placed within the past 2 years, and now all of a sudden you notice that you’re grinding your teeth at night. You know this because every time you go to the dentist office for follow-up appointments, they notice the wear and tear starting to appear on your teeth—a sheer sign of bruxism (teeth grinding).

What do you do? How do you protect your brand new dental implants from getting damaged? How do you avoid having to spend thousands of dollars more to fix the damaged teeth?

You’ve come to the right place for that answer. And your answer…

A custom mouthguard.

Not just any mouthguard…a custom mouthguard handcrafted by the professionals at Impact Mouthguards. This is our bread and butter, our specialty, our passion—to create a custom-fitted mouthguard for our customers.

We know our mouthguard will solve your bruxism issues and help to protect your dental implants (and other expensive dental work you’ve had done).


? Who can benefit from wearing a custom mouthguard?

Custom mouthguards aren’t only for athletes…far from it. Custom mouthguards are the perfect solution to stop the wear and tear on your teeth that’s often caused by teeth grinding.

So whether you’re 35 years old with 1 dental implant or 50 years old with 6 dental implants, our custom mouthpieces can protect your pearly whites and expensive dental work.

Who else besides those with dental implants can benefit from custom mouthguards? Anyone else who has had dental work that they don’t want harmed or destroyed. Examples include people who have crowns, implants, veneers, fillings, sealants, implant-supported dentures, bridges, and more.

Actually, come to think of it, you don’t need to have dental work done in order to benefit from a custom mouthguard. You can wear the mouthpiece as a prevention measure against having to get dental work done in the future. Prevention is key!


? How do custom mouthguards protect teeth?

Our custom mouthguards are fabricated to withstand the constant pressure when you bite down or grind your teeth. Clenching or grinding won’t harm the mouthguard since the material we use is very durable and strong in nature.

It’s easy to use the mouthguard, too. If you’re using it during sports or other impact activities, just pop it in your mouth and take it out when you’re finished playing. If you’re using the mouthguard to prevent teeth problems or to protect your dental implants, you’ll most likely want to pop in the mouthguard before you go to sleep, and then take it out when you wake up.

The mouthguard “locks” firmly in place so you don’t have to worry about it being unsafe while you sleep. Our custom mouthguards are made to specially fit your teeth and bite so it won’t come loose or fall out.


? I have dental implants, but I don’t want to ruin them with teeth grinding. What can I do?

Don’t throw your money down the drain. Instead, protect those expensive dental implants by wearing a custom mouthguard. As briefly discussed in previous sections of this blog post, a mouthpiece can certainly protect dental implants.

There are other techniques or devices you can try in order to prevent tooth damage caused by bruxism, but they most likely won’t be as effective as our guards.


? Adults play sports, too, which means we need mouth protection!

Let’s not forget that adults play sports…sports aren’t just for kids! Adults will typically have more substantial dental work done when compared to a kid, which means it’s very important for an adult to protect his or her teeth while playing or competing.

Our guards are a great solution for kids and adults alike.

Whether you’re playing a pick-up soccer game, or your next league basketball game this upcoming weekend, play it smart and protect your teeth and gums.


? Worried about teeth grinding (bruxism) and dental implants? Don’t be!

Thousands of people suffer from bruxism, but you don’t have to suffer from wear and tear that goes along with bruxism. Now you can choose a mouthguard that will protect your dental implants.
