Why Custom Mouthguards Matter
Your teeth are one of your most valuable assets, and protecting them should be a top priority—especially if you’re active in sports or prone to grinding your teeth at night. At Sicklerville Dental Excellence, we understand the importance of safeguarding your smile, which is why we offer high-quality custom mouthguards designed for superior protection and comfort. Whether you need a sports mouthguard for high-impact activities or a night guard to prevent teeth grinding, our custom-fitted solutions provide the best possible defense against dental injuries and damage.
The Difference Between Custom and Store-Bought Mouthguards
While store-bought mouthguards are widely available, they often fall short in terms of fit, comfort, and effectiveness. Over-the-counter options, such as boil-and-bite mouthguards, are mass-produced and offer only a generic fit. This can lead to discomfort, difficulty breathing, and inadequate protection.
A custom mouthguard, on the other hand, is tailored specifically to your teeth and jaw. Crafted from high-quality materials and designed with precision, these mouthguards offer a snug fit that ensures maximum protection without compromising comfort. At Sicklerville Dental Excellence, our custom mouthguards are molded to your unique dental structure, providing a superior level of safety compared to store-bought alternatives.
The Benefits of Custom Sports Mouthguards
For athletes, a sports mouthguard is an essential piece of equipment. Whether you play football, basketball, hockey, soccer, or any other contact sport, the risk of oral injuries is always present. A properly fitted sports mouthguard absorbs and distributes the impact from blows to the face, reducing the likelihood of broken teeth, soft tissue injuries, and even concussions.
Unlike generic mouthguards, custom-fitted sports mouthguards provide a secure fit, ensuring they stay in place during intense physical activity. This allows athletes to breathe and speak more easily while keeping their teeth fully protected. At our dental office, we design mouthguards that not only provide top-tier protection but also feel comfortable enough to wear throughout a game or practice session.
Custom Mouthguards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
If you grind your teeth at night, a custom mouthguard—also known as a night guard—can help prevent serious dental problems. Bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, can lead to enamel wear, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, and even cracked teeth if left untreated. A professionally crafted mouthguard serves as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the damaging effects of grinding and clenching.
Our custom night guards at Sicklerville Dental Excellence are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth while providing maximum protection. Unlike bulky, one-size-fits-all options, our custom solutions ensure that you can sleep soundly without discomfort or irritation.

Once your custom mouthguard is fabricated, we ensure it fits comfortably and provides optimal protection.
We use high-quality, durable materials that can withstand heavy impacts and long-term use, ensuring your mouthguard offers lasting protection. Additionally, we customize the thickness and flexibility of your mouthguard based on your specific needs, whether it’s for sports or nighttime teeth grinding.
