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.

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. Ebrahimi or Dr. Tatari will check the fit at your routine visits.
