How long does it take to make a custom athletic mouthguard?
Creating a custom athletic mouthguard usually takes about one to two weeks from start to finish. At your first visit, we will take quick digital scans of your teeth so your new oral appliance will fit perfectly. The mouthguard is then fabricated in a dental lab using durable materials. Once it’s ready, you’ll return for a quick fitting to ensure comfort and proper protection.
How long do athletic mouthguards last?
Athletic mouthguards can last several seasons with proper care, but their lifespan greatly depends on use, wear, and changes in your teeth. Signs like thinning, cracks, or a loose fit indicate it’s time for a replacement. We recommend bringing your mouthguard to regular checkups so we can evaluate its condition and ensure it continues to offer effective protection.
Are custom athletic mouthguards covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for custom athletic mouthguards varies by plan. Some policies may provide partial coverage, especially for younger patients involved in organized sports, while others may not include this benefit. Our team can review your insurance details, discuss payment plans, and go over costs with you upfront so you can make an informed decision about protecting your smile.
