Custom Mouthguards
in Leesburg, VA
Protect teeth with a guard designed for your activity, bite, and existing dental work. Digital scans help us create athletic and nighttime appliances for patients across Loudoun County.
What Are Custom
Mouthguards?
A mouthguard is most useful when it fits securely enough to be worn consistently. Our custom appliances begin with a digital scan and are shaped to balance retention, coverage, speech, and breathing.
Athletic guards cushion teeth and oral tissues during contact or collision sports. Night guards serve a different purpose: they create a protective barrier against clenching and grinding forces but do not stop the underlying habit.
At Advanced Dental Care in Leesburg Village, material and thickness are selected according to age, sport, bite, grinding pattern, and existing restorations. Fit is checked at delivery and adjusted when necessary.
Who Should Get a
Custom Mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is recommended for patients who:
- Participate in contact sports (football, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, soccer)
- Grind or clench teeth during sleep (bruxism)
- Experience jaw pain, headaches, or worn enamel from grinding
- Have existing dental restorations (crowns, veneers, implants) that need protection
- Are currently in orthodontic treatment and play sports
- Want superior protection over bulky store-bought options

Patient Reviews
What Patients Say About
Mouthguards
Verified Google reviews from our Leesburg patients
My regular dentist referred me to a TMJ specialist more than an hour away. I decided to search for one closer to where I live and found Dr. Talwar. After explaining why my jaw was popping and getting worse, she proposed a mouth guard for my lower jaw (I already had one that fits my upper jaw). I’ve been wearing it for months now and it has really helped with the severe popping I experience especially when eating. I mostly wear it at night. It hasn’t completely fixed it but has made a huge difference and prevented it from getting worse. And my appointments are close by in Leesburg!
