What Are Sports Mouthguards?
A sports mouthguard is a custom-fit protective cover worn over the teeth during athletic activity. It absorbs and spreads out the force of impacts, shielding your teeth, lips, and jaw from injury during contact and high-motion sports. Unlike bulky over-the-counter guards, a professionally made mouthguard is molded to your exact bite for a secure, comfortable fit that lets you breathe and speak with ease. At Lava Dental, we create durable, custom guards for kids, teens, and adults across every sport.
The Benefits of Sports Mouthguards
Injury Prevention
A well-fit guard cushions impacts that would otherwise chip, crack, or knock out teeth, protecting your smile during play.
Custom Comfort
Molded to your exact bite, a professional guard stays securely in place and feels comfortable enough to wear every game.
Better Performance
Because it fits precisely, a custom guard lets you breathe, talk, and focus on the game without constantly readjusting.
Lasting Value
Durable and built to last, a custom mouthguard protects far better than store-bought options and saves costly dental repairs.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei

Sports Mouthguard FAQ
- How soon can I get a custom mouthguard in Houston, TX?
- Most patients can be scanned for a custom mouthguard during a single visit, with the finished guard ready shortly after. Call (281) 741-7400 or book online to get started before your season begins.
- How much does a custom sports mouthguard cost?
- A custom mouthguard costs more than a store-bought version but offers far better fit, comfort, and protection, often preventing much costlier dental injuries. Our team will go over the exact price with you before we begin.
- Does Lava Dental take my insurance?
- We're in-network with most major PPO plans, and we'll help you understand any coverage that may apply to a custom mouthguard. We also welcome out-of-network plans and accept Medicaid, and our team is glad to verify your benefits first.
- Are custom mouthguards better than store-bought ones?
- Yes. Because they're molded to your exact bite, custom guards fit more securely, feel more comfortable, and protect far better than boil-and-bite or stock options, so you're far more likely to actually wear them.
- How long does a sports mouthguard last?
- With proper care, a custom mouthguard can last through one or more seasons, though growing children may need a new one as their teeth change. Dr. Tatari will check the fit at your routine visits.
