Protect Your Teeth with a Custom-Fitted Guard
Custom-made mouthguards and nightguards offer important protection for your teeth and jaw. They are designed to fit your mouth precisely, making them far more comfortable and effective than anything you can buy at a store.
Athletic mouthguards cushion and shield your teeth from injury during sports and physical activities. Nightguards protect your teeth from the damaging effects of clenching or grinding while you sleep. Left unaddressed, these habits can lead to wear, fractures, jaw pain, and other serious dental concerns over time.
At South Arlington Smiles, we create custom oral appliances using precise digital scans of your teeth. Every guard is fabricated to fit your unique bite, providing superior comfort, protection, and durability. Whether you are an athlete, a nighttime grinder, or both, we have a solution that works for you.

How We Create Your Custom Mouthguard or Nightguard
Getting a custom guard at South Arlington Smiles is simple, quick, and comfortable. Here is what to expect.
Evaluation
We begin with a brief evaluation to understand your needs. For nightguard patients, we assess the extent of wear on your teeth and discuss your symptoms. For sports guard patients, we discuss your sport and level of activity to recommend the appropriate thickness and style.
1
Digital Scan
We take a precise digital scan of your teeth. This replaces the old-fashioned goopy impression process and is far more comfortable and accurate.
2
Fabrication
Your guard is custom-fabricated from high-quality dental-grade materials based on your digital scan. This ensures a precise, comfortable fit that a store-bought guard simply cannot match.
3
Fitting and Adjustment
When your guard is ready, you come in for a fitting. We place the guard, check the fit and bite, and make any adjustments needed to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.
4
Care Instructions
We walk you through how to clean and care for your guard to keep it in great condition. With proper maintenance, a custom guard can last for several years.

Custom Athletic Mouthguards in Arlington
A sports mouthguard is one of the most important pieces of protective equipment for any athlete. Dental injuries are among the most common sports-related injuries, and most of them are preventable with proper protection.
At South Arlington Smiles, we create custom athletic mouthguards that fit securely over your teeth and cushion the impact of blows to the face, jaw, and head. A custom-fitted guard stays in place, allows you to breathe and speak comfortably, and provides significantly better protection than boil-and-bite options from a sporting goods store.
Who Needs a Sports Mouthguard?
Any athlete who participates in contact or collision sports should wear a mouthguard. This includes players of all ages and skill levels.
Custom Nightguards for Teeth Grinding and Clenching in Arlington
Teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism, is a very common condition. Many people do it without even realizing it, especially during sleep. Over time, the forces generated by grinding and clenching can cause significant damage to the teeth, jaw muscles, and joints.
A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth. It absorbs and redistributes the forces of grinding and clenching, protecting your enamel and reducing strain on the jaw.
