What to expect:
Initial Consultation
During your visit, a dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your sports activities, and assess your specific needs for a mouthguard. This consultation ensures the design of the mouthguard caters to your unique requirements, offering the best protection.
Digital Scan
To get a mouthguard, you must complete a digital scan (10 – 15 mins). This step ensures the mouthguard fits perfectly, providing maximum comfort and stability during use.
Your Mouthguard is Ready!
Once the scans are complete, they are sent to the lab for fabrication. Once ready, the dentist will fit the mouthguard and make any necessary adjustments. This step ensures the mouthguard is secure, comfortable, and ready for optimal performance during your activities.
