Mouthguards & Nightguards

We’re Looking Out for You

Imagine playing your favorite sport when an accidental collision knocks out a front tooth. Or waking up with jaw pain and realizing you’ve been grinding your teeth all night. Your teeth endure more impact than you might think, whether from physical activity or unconscious habits like clenching and grinding. Without protection, these issues can lead to lasting dental damage and costly restorative treatments.

At VIDA Dental Studio in Santa Fe, we offer custom-made nightguards and mouthguards to help safeguard your smile—whether you’re on the field or fast asleep.

Could You Be at Risk for Dental Injury or Damage?

If you play contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing, or even basketball and volleyball, then you should consider getting a mouthguard. Why?

According to a study in Dental Traumatology, mouthguards can reduce the risk of dental injuries by up to 84%. Plus, the American Dental Association estimates that mouthguards prevent over 200,000 oral injuries annually (American Dental Association, ‘Mouthguards,’ 2019).

Why Mouthguards Matter

Each year, two million teeth are knocked out due to sports activities (National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety), and studies show a potential reduction in concussion risk with mouthguard use.

A properly fitted mouthguard can help absorb impact forces and reduce the risk of severe injury, such as:

Chipped, or broken teeth
Lip and cheek injuries
Fractured crowns or bridgework
Tooth root damage
Jaw pain or fractures
Knocked-out teeth

Why Nightguards Matter

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth?

You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. A nightguard acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth and may help:

Relax the jaw muscles and reduce tension
Protect teeth from fractures and erosion
Decrease gum problems and prevent recession
Reduce the risk of TMJ disorders

Maxillary vs. Mandibular Nightguards

The technical term for a nightguard is an occlusal guard. The term “occlusion” in dentistry refers to how the upper and lower teeth fit together when the jaw is closed.

Maxillary Guard (Upper) – Most commonly used for night grinding protection
Mandibular Guard (Lower) – Recommended for some patients based on bite alignment and comfort

Dr. Giron will assess your needs and recommend the best nightguard for your specific situation.
