Athletic excellence demands peak performance in every aspect, including protecting your smile from sports-related dental injuries that can sideline your game and cost thousands in emergency repairs. At LALUME Dental Studio in Newport Beach, Dr. Shahira Saad creates custom sports mouth guards that provide superior protection, exceptional comfort, and uncompromised breathing capacity for athletes at every competitive level.
Our precision-fitted mouth guards go far beyond generic sporting goods store options, offering professional-grade protection that safeguards not just your teeth, but your investment in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic treatment, and overall oral health. Whether you’re surfing at The Wedge, playing tennis at Fashion Island, or competing in high-impact sports, our custom guards ensure your smile stays as strong as your athletic performance.
Sports-related dental injuries account for more than 5 million tooth losses annually, with treatment costs often exceeding $10,000 per injured tooth. Beyond the immediate trauma, dental injuries can lead to lifelong complications, including:
At our preventive dentistry practice, we’ve seen firsthand how a single unprotected impact can destroy years of cosmetic work, veneers shattered, Invisalign treatment disrupted, and crowns dislodged. For our Newport Beach patients who’ve invested significantly in their smiles, sports mouth guards represent essential insurance protecting both dental health and financial investment.
The risk extends beyond contact sports. Activities like mountain biking, skateboarding, basketball, and even fitness training pose dental injury risks. Falls, equipment impacts, and accidental collisions can occur in any athletic pursuit. Our custom guards provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on performance rather than protecting your teeth.
Generic mouth guards from sporting goods stores offer minimal protection and maximum discomfort. Their one-size-fits-all design creates bulk that impairs breathing, triggers gag reflexes, and often falls out during critical moments. These inadequate guards provide false security while failing to protect when needed most.
Custom sports mouth guards from LALUME Dental Studio are precision-engineered using digital scans of your unique oral anatomy. This personalized fit ensures optimal protection while maintaining comfort so exceptional you’ll forget you’re wearing protection. The streamlined design allows normal breathing and speaking, crucial for peak athletic performance.
Our guards utilize advanced multi-layer construction, with shock-absorbing materials strategically positioned to dissipate impact forces. This scientific approach protects not just teeth, but also reduces concussion risk by cushioning jaw impacts that transmit force to the brain. Professional athletes recognize this advantage; shouldn’t you have the same level of protection?
For patients with veneers, crowns, or recent Invisalign treatment, sports mouth guards become even more critical. These cosmetic enhancements, while durable for normal use, remain vulnerable to athletic impacts. A single blow can undo thousands of dollars in dental work, requiring expensive repairs or complete replacement.
Our custom guards are designed with your specific dental work in mind. We account for the following:
This tailored approach ensures comprehensive protection without compromising the integrity of your cosmetic dentistry.
Young athletes with developing smiles particularly benefit from proper protection during growth years. Dental injuries during adolescence can affect facial development, require lifetime maintenance, and impact self-confidence during crucial social years. Our youth guards accommodate growing teeth while providing professional-level protection.
Modern sports mouth guard technology incorporates biomechanical engineering principles to maximize protection while minimizing bulk. Our guards feature graduated density zones—softer where comfort matters, harder where impact protection is critical. This scientific approach delivers superior performance compared to uniform-density alternatives.
Digital design technology allows us to customize thickness based on your specific sport and position. A quarterback needs different protection than a point guard. A martial artist requires different coverage than a cyclist. We tailor every aspect to your athletic demands, ensuring optimal protection without unnecessary bulk.
The materials we use represent the latest in dental polymer technology—medical-grade, latex-free compounds that resist bacterial growth, maintain their protective properties over time, and won’t develop unpleasant odors common with lower-quality guards. These professional materials justify the investment in custom protection.
Your sports mouth guard journey begins with comprehensive digital scanning using our advanced 3D imaging technology. This painless process captures every contour of your teeth and gums, ensuring a perfect fit that stays secure during intense activity. No messy impressions or uncomfortable trays, just quick, accurate digital capture.
During your fitting appointment, you’ll relax in our spa-like environment with amenities including:
We discuss your specific sports, position requirements, and any concerns about comfort or breathing. This consultation ensures your guard meets both protection needs and performance demands.
Within weeks, your custom guard arrives, precision-manufactured to our exact specifications. We verify the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and provide comprehensive care instructions. Most athletes adapt immediately to our guards’ superior comfort, often expressing amazement at the difference from previous store-bought options.
Proper care extends your mouth guard’s protective life while maintaining hygiene. We provide detailed cleaning protocols using specialized solutions that eliminate bacteria without degrading the guard’s materials. Regular professional inspection during dental visits ensures continued protection and identifies when replacement becomes necessary.
Most custom guards last 2 to 3 seasons with proper care, though growing athletes may require more frequent replacement. We maintain your digital scans, streamlining reorders when needed. This efficiency minimizes downtime between seasons while ensuring continuous protection throughout your athletic career.
Our membership plans starting at $59 monthly include discounts on sports guards and replacements, making professional protection more accessible for active families. Combined with Cherry financing options, we ensure cost never prevents proper athletic dental protection.
Athletic achievement shouldn’t come at the expense of your dental health. Custom sports mouth guards from LALUME Dental Studio provide professional-grade protection that matches your commitment to excellence, safeguarding both your smile and your athletic future.
