Custom Mouth Guards
If you or your child plays sports, a custom-fitted mouth guard is one of the best ways to protect the teeth and jaw from injury. Custom mouthguards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. At Lane Family Dentistry, we take a precise impression of your teeth and create a device fitted specifically to your mouth, providing better comfort, easier breathing, and superior protection compared to store-bought options. Preventing a dental injury is always more affordable than repairing the damage caused by facial trauma.

A bridge is placed as an anchor for artificial teeth to adjacent crowns. A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape and strength. Both are forms of restorative dentistry.
Both procedures serve several advantages, such as bite restoration, protection for compromised teeth, and support for jaw alignment and chewing function. They’re durable and can last over a decade with proper care.
Crowns require reshaping the natural teeth, and bridges could alter the health of adjacent teeth in exchange for its support. Bridges don’t prevent bone loss under the missing tooth like implants can, and if a supporting tooth fails, the entire bridge may need replacing.
Maintaining your oral hygiene, avoiding chewing hard objects, and regular check-ups with your dentist can ensure your restorations last for years.
