Mouth Guards in Bastrop, TX
Transform Your Smile Discreetly with Spring St. Dental
When it comes to protecting your smile during sports or preventing damage from nighttime teeth grinding, custom mouth guards provide essential protection that over-the-counter options simply can’t match. At Spring St. Dental in Bastrop, TX, we offer professional mouth guard fitting services that ensure maximum comfort, protection, and durability for patients of all ages.
Spring St. Dental’s experienced team, led by Dr. Matthew Lassen, Dr. Brian Romney, and Dr. Meghan Bhakta, provides comprehensive mouth guard solutions for both athletic protection and nighttime grinding issues. Our state-of-the-art facility at 1207 Chestnut St. in Bastrop combines advanced technology with personalized care to create mouth guards that perfectly fit your unique dental structure.
The Importance of Professional Mouth Guards for Sports
Custom mouth guards from a dental office in Bastrop offer superior protection compared to generic store-bought alternatives. When participating in contact sports like football, basketball, or martial arts, your teeth face significant risks of damage from impacts. A properly fitted mouth guard absorbs shock, distributes impact forces, and significantly reduces the risk of broken teeth, cut lips, and other serious oral injuries.
Protection for Athletes of All Ages
Youth athletes are particularly vulnerable to dental injuries. Children and high school athletes participating in sports benefit tremendously from custom-fitted mouth guards that accommodate their growing mouths and changing dentition. At Spring St. Dental, we create pediatric mouth guards specifically designed for younger patients, ensuring comfort while providing complete protection during athletic activities.
Custom vs. Store-Bought Options
While over-the-counter mouth guards may seem convenient, they typically offer substandard protection. These “boil-and-bite” options never achieve the precise fit of professionally crafted guards. Our dental team takes professional dental impressions of your teeth to create mouth guards that fit perfectly, stay securely in place during activity, and provide reliable protection exactly where needed.

Night Guards for Teeth Grinding and Bruxism
Teeth grinding (bruxism) affects many adults, often occurring during sleep without awareness. This unconscious habit can lead to worn enamel, fractured teeth, jaw pain, and persistent headaches. Custom night guards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the damaging effects of grinding.
Symptoms and Solutions for Bruxism
Morning headaches, jaw soreness, and visible wear on tooth surfaces are common signs of nighttime teeth grinding. Our Bastrop dental specialists can assess your symptoms and create a comfortable bite guard that allows you to sleep comfortably without grinding. These custom appliances are designed to fit precisely over your teeth, providing protection while minimizing disruption to your sleep.
TMJ Pain Relief Through Custom Appliances
Many patients experiencing jaw pain and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) discomfort benefit from properly fitted mouth guards. These appliances help position the jaw correctly during sleep, relieving muscle tension and reducing painful symptoms. At Spring St. Dental, we evaluate your specific needs to create a mouth guard that addresses both teeth grinding and TMJ concerns simultaneously.
The Custom Mouth Guard Process at Spring St. Dental
Creating your custom mouth guard begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced dental team. We examine your oral structures, discuss your specific needs (whether for sports or nighttime grinding), and then take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure an exact fit.
Professional Dental Impressions
Unlike one-size-fits-all options, our mouth guards begin with detailed impressions of your teeth. This allows us to create appliances that fit perfectly against your dental anatomy, providing maximum protection while remaining comfortable enough for extended wear during sleep or athletic activities.
Customization Options
Our custom mouth guards can be tailored with various features based on your specific needs. For sports protection, we can create thicker guards for high-impact activities or streamlined versions for sports requiring clear communication. For night guards, we offer different densities based on the severity of your grinding habits. We even provide color options for sports mouth guards, allowing you to display team spirit while protecting your smile.
Maintaining Your Custom Mouth Guard
Proper care ensures your mouth guard remains effective and hygienic. Rinse your guard thoroughly before and after each use with cool water. Periodic cleaning with mild soap helps prevent bacterial buildup, while avoiding hot water prevents warping. Store your guard in its ventilated case when not in use to prevent damage and contamination.
When to Replace Your Guard
With proper care, a custom mouth guard typically lasts 2-3 years, though active athletes may need more frequent replacements. Signs it’s time for a new guard include visible wear, deformation, tears, or changes in fit. Regular dental checkups at Spring St. Dental include evaluations of your mouth guard’s condition to ensure ongoing protection.
