PROTECT YOUR SMILE AND OVERALL HEALTH WITH A CUSTOM-MADE COMFORTABLE MOUTHGUARD

Aurora Family Dentistry offers a custom laminated mouthguard which not only protects your smile but helps you breathe and perform better than standard mouthguards. Our mouthguards are more comfortable which means you’ll want to wear them more often helping protect your most valuable asset… your health!

What’s the difference between a laminated mouthguard and what I can buy at the sporting goods store?

Dr. Ryan Ersland, Dr. Scott Lyke, and Dr. Jaimie Lyke are the Anchorage dentists that have made custom mouth protectors for years, and many of our patients — from high school athletes to adult and middle-aged sports buffs. One thing they all agree about is they swear by our laminated mouthguards.

While store-bought versions offer a quick solution for patients, they can’t stand up to the durability and customization our custom laminated mouthguards can provide. To get your (or your child) the sports guard they deserve, schedule an appointment with Aurora Family Dentistry today!
