Why a custom mouthguard is worth it

For young athletes, a mouthguard is one of the smartest ways to prevent injury. It cushions the teeth, lips, and jaw from impact during contact sports and active play. A custom guard fits snugly, stays in place, and lets your child breathe and talk more easily than the bulky boil and bite kind.

Mouthguards also help kids who grind their teeth at night, a common habit that can wear down enamel over time. A custom night guard protects those growing teeth while your child sleeps. Since we already care for kids who grind, we can help you decide whether a guard is the right move.

How we make your
child's mouthguard

Getting a custom mouthguard is quick and comfortable. Here is how it works.

A quick, comfortable impression

We take a gentle impression or digital scan of your child’s teeth. There is nothing uncomfortable about it, and it only takes a few minutes.

A precise, custom fit

We craft a guard shaped exactly to your child’s mouth, so it fits securely and feels comfortable. A good fit means your child is far more likely to actually wear it.

The right guard for the job

We help you choose the right type, whether that is a sports guard built to absorb impact or a night guard designed to protect against grinding. If your child wears braces, we can account for that too.

A fit check and simple care tips

We make sure the guard fits well and feels good, then show your child how to clean and store it so it lasts as long as possible.

The Sensory Smiles difference

Every visit should feel calm, not overwhelming. As the sensory inclusive certified pediatric practice families across Rancho Cucamonga trust, we designed each part of the experience around your child’s comfort. Whether your child is an anxious toddler, a curious teen, or a child with sensory sensitivities or special needs, we meet them exactly where they are.

What to expect at your child's visit

This is one of the easiest visits your child will have. There are no shots and nothing uncomfortable, just a quick impression or scan and a friendly chat about which guard fits their needs.

For kids who feel unsure, our sensory friendly tools keep everything calm. Headphones, a show on the ceiling TV, and a patient pace help your child feel at ease from start to finish.

Which kids benefit from
a mouthguard?

Any child who plays contact or high impact sports, from soccer and basketball to martial arts and skateboarding, benefits from a custom sports guard. It is simple protection that can prevent painful, costly injuries.

A night guard helps kids who grind their teeth while they sleep. Watch for signs like worn or flattened teeth, jaw soreness in the morning, or grinding sounds at night. If you notice any of these, bring your child in and we will take a look.

What families are saying...

Real words from parents who trust us with their children’s smiles.

Parent of a patient
Great experience all around. Dr. Sara's level of empathy and understanding was awesome. She talked through the whole process with my son, and he was very comfortable the entire time. Thank you.
First-visit parent
First dental visit for my little one and I was super anxious, more than for my own appointments. Dr. Sara came in, examined his teeth, and gave us great tips to help improve his care at home. She was so patient, with no judgment at all. Dr. Sara was amazing.
Mom of a nervous patient
My youngest daughter is traumatized from a previous dental office, and all of the staff was so patient and kind with her. Dr. Sara was gentle and talked my daughter through her whole treatment. I highly recommend them.
