SPORTS DENTISTRY
Protect Your Smile.
Play With Confidence.
Whether you're a weekend athlete or a competitive player, protecting your smile is just as important as protecting the rest of your body. Our sports dentistry services provide custom-fitted mouthguards designed to help prevent dental injuries, reduce the risk of trauma, and keep you performing at your best with confidence.
What Is Sports Dentistry?
Sports dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating dental injuries related to athletic activities. One of the most effective ways to protect your teeth during sports is with a custom-fitted mouthguard, which is designed to cushion impacts and reduce the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw.
At Turner & Romanko, we provide custom sports mouthguards that are made specifically for your smile, offering a more secure, comfortable fit than store-bought alternatives. Whether you participate in football, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, soccer, wrestling, or any other contact sport, a professionally fitted mouthguard helps protect your smile while allowing you to breathe, speak, and perform with confidence. Our goal is to keep athletes of all ages safe so they can focus on the game—not on dental injuries.

Why Custom Mouthguards Matter
Custom Mouthguards for Children & Teens with Mixed Dentition
As children's smiles grow and change, so do their dental protection needs. During the mixed dentition stage—when both baby teeth and permanent teeth are present—a properly fitted mouthguard is especially important. Custom mouthguards provide a secure, comfortable fit while accommodating developing teeth, helping protect young athletes throughout every season.
-
Custom mouthguards are made to fit children and teens whose teeth are still developing.
-
Help reduce the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth during contact sports.
-
Unlike store-bought options, custom mouthguards fit securely without feeling bulky or loose.
-
A precise fit allows young athletes to communicate clearly and stay comfortable while playing.
-
Recommended for football, lacrosse, hockey, basketball, wrestling, martial arts, soccer, baseball, softball, and more.
-
As your child's smile changes, we can evaluate when it's time for a new mouthguard to ensure continued protection.

Sports dentistry focuses on preventing and treating dental injuries that occur during athletic activities. The most common service is providing custom-fitted mouthguards that help protect your teeth, gums, lips, and jaw from sports-related impacts.

Anyone participating in contact or high-impact sports should wear a mouthguard. This includes athletes involved in football, lacrosse, hockey, basketball, soccer, wrestling, martial arts, baseball, softball, and many other recreational or competitive sports.

The lifespan of a mouthguard depends on age, growth, and how often it's used. Children and teens may need replacements more frequently as their teeth and jaws develop, while adults can often use the same mouthguard for several seasons with proper care.
-
Rinse your mouthguard with cool water after each use, clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap, and store it in a ventilated protective case. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat, as this can cause it to lose its shape.
-
While no mouthguard can eliminate every risk, a professionally fitted mouthguard significantly reduces the likelihood and severity of dental injuries, including chipped teeth, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and injuries to the lips, cheeks, and jaw during sports.
