Dr. Moynier is amazing! I would give him 10 stars if that was an option! I was in Boulder on vacation from Texas and had a dental emergency. He immediately called me back willing to help and met me at his office on a Sunday. He was not only kind and sympathetic, he was such a perfectionist and did an amazing job! He charged me such a fair amount to help me and I will forever be grateful to him! I highly recommend him and his sweet staff that followed up with me!

REASONS FOR GETTING A MOUTH GUARD

Sports

 Individuals who play sports, particularly contact sports such as boxing, soccer, football, hockey, and even basketball should use a mouth guard. This is because sports activities commonly involve falls and physical contact, which could potentially result in injury to the face or teeth. A mouth guard can help to protect against these types of injuries by cushioning a blow to the face. They can also aid in minimizing the risk and severity of concussions and preventing the risk of choking on one's teeth, should they be knocked out during sports play.

Dental Health

In terms of dental health, wearing a mouth guard can protect against various conditions. For individuals suffering from bruxism, a disorder characterized by grinding or clenching of teeth, a mouth guard acts as a protective barrier to reduce tooth damage. Similarly, for those diagnosed with sleep apnea, a disorder that interrupts breathing during sleep, a special type of mouth guard can help in keeping the airway open to ensure continuous breathing. 

Mouth guards From the Dentist vs. Store Bought

A mouth guard is a critical dental appliance, either custom-fitted or store-bought, used to protect your teeth from potential trauma. Whether you're an athlete, an occasional sports enthusiast, or struggling with teeth grinding during sleep, Pearl Street Dental is here to help you find the right mouth guard for your needs. 

Store-Bought Mouth Guards

These generally come in one-size-fits-all or boil-and-bite models. They are not tailored to fit an individual mouth’s structure, so they might be uncomfortable and bulky. While cheaper, their lack of precise fit may mean less protection and they also tend to wear out faster, needing more frequent replacements.

Custom-Fit Mouth Guards

Custom-fit mouth guards are those that are made by a dentist. This type of mouth guard offers superior comfort and protection. They are made from a mold of your teeth, resulting in a snug, precise fit. Though more expensive, they typically last longer and provide the best level of protection.

Getting a Mouth guard From Pearl Street Dental: What To Expect

At Pearl Street Dental, we offer custom-fitted mouth guards designed with precision to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal protection. Our dental team takes an impression of your teeth, which is then used to create a unique mouth guard to match your mouth's contours correctly. These mouth guards not only ensure better protection, but they are more durable and comfortable than generic, over-the-counter options.
