Protecting Your Investment: Athletic Mouthguards for Active Chicagoans
An active lifestyle deserves protection
Chicago professionals don’t just work hard; they stay active, too. From Lakeshore East gyms to weekend leagues, Chicagoans make fitness a priority. But sports and recreation can put your teeth at risk. At Chicago Dental Boutique, we create custom athletic mouthguards that protect your smile and preserve the investment you’ve made in your oral health.
Why a mouthguard matters
Sports-related dental injuries are more common than you might think. Cracked teeth, fractures, and even knocked-out teeth can happen in seconds. Beyond the pain and inconvenience, repairing dental injuries can be costly and can undo the investment you’ve already made in cosmetic care like veneers, whitening, or Invisalign® retainers.
Custom vs. store-bought mouthguards
Not all mouthguards are equal.
- Store-bought (boil-and-bite): Budget-friendly but often bulky, uncomfortable, and less effective at absorbing shock.
- Custom-made (from your dentist): Precisely fitted for comfort and protection. Easier to breathe and speak while wearing, with stronger defense against trauma.
Clinical note: Studies show that custom-fit mouthguards reduce dental injuries and may even lower concussion risk compared to generic models.
Who benefits from a custom mouthguard?
✅ Adults in recreational sports (basketball, soccer, martial arts, cycling)
✅ Teens in school athletics
✅ Patients with cosmetic restorations (veneers, crowns, bonding)
✅ Invisalign® patients (who wear a custom guard during play instead of their aligners)
✅ Active professionals who want reliable protection without bulk

✅ Consultation and impressions – We take precise digital scans or molds of your teeth.
