Customized Mouthguards in Richmond, B.C.
Protection for Athletes
We are currently running a promotion for new patients at The Urban Dentist in Richmond. If you become a new patient of ours, we’ll provide you with a custom-made mouthguard for $50 instead of the $350 we normally charge. Come in for an exam and cleaning, and we’ll make you a mouthguard that is the same cost as a boil-and-bite device, saving you over $320.
Here at the Urban Dentist we have patients that range from elite athletes to weekend warriors. Whatever gets you moving, we advise wearing a mouthguard to protect your smile and preserve your oral health.
If this something you’re interested in learning more about, book an appointment with Dr. Kwong, our local dentist near you, today.
What We Offer
Our dental practice designs custom mouthguards that fit tightly and are more comfortable than the conventional boil-and-bite mouthguards available at drug or sports stores. Mouthguards are composed of resilient, medical-grade plastic that cushions your teeth and protects you from experiencing concussions.
Additionally, recent studies have been published on mouthguards contributing to enhanced athletic performance. The rationale is that many people clench and grit their teeth when playing contact sports like hockey, basketball, football, and wrestling. At the same time, most people will be breathing through their mouths when exerting themselves. With clenched teeth, the airway is restricted and less oxygen gets to your working muscles. A mouthguard maintains a larger airway opening so that more oxygen can be delivered to your muscles, giving you more strength and reducing fatigue.
We now provide custom mouthguards near you that can be worn during non-contact activities, such as tennis, golf, and badminton.
Dr. Kwong will take impressions of your smile and send them to the dental lab where your appliance is created. This information guides technicians to fabricate a mouthguard that satisfies your unique oral dimensions. On average, the process takes 1-2 weeks.
