Athletic Mouthguards in Houston Heights

Contact sports and high‑impact activities can put your teeth, gums, and jaw at serious risk. A custom athletic mouthguard provides a protective barrier that helps absorb and distribute force, greatly reducing the chance of chipped, broken, or knocked‑out teeth.

At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani designs athletic mouthguards that are custom‑fit to your bite using precise digital scans. Unlike bulky boil‑and‑bite guards, our mouthguards stay securely in place, allow you to breathe and speak comfortably, and provide reliable protection whether you’re on the field, court, or in the gym.

A closer look

What a mouthguard protects against

A custom mouthguard helps reduce the risk of chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and jaw discomfort from a sudden impact. It also acts as a barrier against potential concussions by absorbing and distributing force more evenly than generic guards.

Caring for your mouthguard

Rinse it with cool water after every use.

Store it in a ventilated case to keep it clean and dry.

Bring it to your check-ups so the fit can be checked.

Replace it if you see signs of wear or your teeth change, as they often do in growing kids.
