Protective Dental Care
Thoughtful solutions designed to help protect your teeth, comfort and long-term oral health.
Explore Protective CarePrevention sometimes means protecting what you already have.
Certain habits, activities or dental conditions can place extra stress on teeth and surrounding tissues.
Protective dentistry gives us additional ways to help preserve your teeth and support long-term oral health when those services are appropriate.
The right protection depends on your smile.
Not every patient needs a mouthguard, nightguard or laser procedure. We first evaluate your teeth, bite and oral health, then recommend protective care when it can provide a meaningful benefit.
Additional ways to protect your smile.
These are some of the protective services available at Dignity Dental Practice.
Custom Nightguards
A custom nightguard may be recommended to help protect teeth from excessive wear or stress associated with clenching or grinding.
Sports Mouthguards
A custom sports mouthguard can help protect teeth and surrounding tissues during activities where dental injury may be a concern.
Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
Dental laser technology may be used for selected soft tissue procedures when it is appropriate for the patient's diagnosis and treatment plan.
Protection designed around your bite.
When a protective appliance is recommended, a custom-made option is designed around your individual teeth and bite. Our team can evaluate whether an appliance is appropriate and what type of protection may be most useful.
Protection based on individual needs.
You don't have to decide whether you need a protective appliance.
If you are concerned about wear, grinding, sports-related protection or another dental issue, start with an examination. We'll evaluate what is happening and explain whether protective treatment is appropriate.
