I can not say enough about my experience at Family Dentistry. Everyone from the office staff, receptionist Jill, dental assistant Lisa, and Dr. Phillips were kind, caring, and compassionate. I felt like I was family. They cater to cowards. I was not looking forward to having the dental work I needed. My visit was excellent. The dental assistant Lisa actually noticed and alerted the dentist to a problem not related to the procedure I was having. They both were so gentle, making sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. (I love they have a bumper guard to help keep your mouth open). They explained everything they were doing and made sure I was pain-free. I would highly recommend everyone I had contact with. Thank you to each one of you for caring!

Safeguard Your Teeth With a Custom Athletic or Bite Guard
Mouthguards will protect your smile from dental injuries. Unlike store-bought options, the ones made by your dentist offer superior protection. Your mouthguard is designed to fit your unique dental structure. Plus, it’s made of long-lasting materials that ensure maximum comfort and greater security.
Your dentist will design your mouthguard by capturing 3-D impressions of your teeth. We use advanced scanning technology, so you avoid messy trays of goop. It’s easier for you and ideal if you have an easy gag reflex. Then, your dentist will send out the information to an outside lab who will create your custom mouthguard.
We offer two kinds:
- Athletic Mouthguards – These custom-fitted guards will protect your teeth during sports and high-impact activities. You’ll have an impression taken of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. The result is a comfortable, durable guard. It allows easy breathing and talking while providing maximum protection.
- Night Guards – Also known as night guards, these bite guards prevent teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. Your dentist will create a guard that fits comfortably over your teeth. You’ll wear it nightly to protect your teeth from wear, reduce jaw pain, and improve sleep quality.

Orb Sport Mouthguards
Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it’s made of high-quality, durable material.
Yes, and in fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Because these oral devices fit over your upper and lower teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reduce painful symptoms of TMJ disorder, allow the joint to heal naturally, and protect your tooth enamel from damage.
For any oral appliance to fit well and work effectively, it needs to be customized to the precise measurements of your mouth. Athletes who buy mass-produced guards from a sporting goods store will never find one that is sized comfortably or appropriately enough to provide full coverage and protection. We can create a mouthguard that allows you to move, breathe, and communicate easily while keeping your smile safe.
