PROTECTION FOR ACTIVE SMILES
Custom sports mouthguards
in Thousand Oaks.
Part of your gear.
Made to fit your smile.
Talk with Dr. Vadim Lebovich at Lombard Dental Studio about a custom athletic mouthguard for your sport, teeth, and dental needs. A comfortable fit makes protective gear easier to wear consistently during training and competition.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROTECTION
Three types.
Fit makes a difference.
Mouthguards cushion impacts and help reduce dental injuries. Custom, boil-and-bite, and stock options differ in fit, comfort, and cost. A guard needs to stay in place and be worn consistently.

YOUR MOUTH. YOUR SPORT.
Fit, comfort,
and a practical plan.
Start by telling us which activities you take part in and what has bothered you about previous guards. We can assess your teeth and discuss the appropriate appliance.
Assess your needs
Review dental health, sport requirements, and existing appliances.
Record your teeth
Our team explains the records needed to make your custom guard.
Check the fit
Discuss retention, comfort, care instructions, and when to return for review.
A FAMOUS EXAMPLE OF CUSTOM FIT
Mayweather’s reported
$25,000 mouthguard.
In 2015, reports described Floyd Mayweather’s custom mouthguards costing $25,000 and featuring gold, diamond dust, and pieces of $100 bills. Dentist Dr. Lee Gause made the guards.
The luxury details made headlines. For your own guard, focus on fit, retention, appropriate protection, and comfort rather than decorative materials. This story is not a price guide for our practice.

Braces and changing teeth
need a closer look.
A mouthguard creates a barrier between orthodontic appliances and the soft tissues of your lips and cheeks. Its design must allow for braces and changes as teeth move.
Ask your dentist or orthodontist to review the fit as your mouth changes. Bring the guard to dental appointments and let us know if it feels tight, loose, or uncomfortable.

Care for the guard
that cares for your smile.
Follow the cleaning instructions provided for your appliance. A clean, intact guard is easier to inspect and maintain.
Clean after use
Rinse before and after wearing. Use the cleaning method recommended by your dental team or the manufacturer.
Store with airflow
Keep it in a sturdy, ventilated case. Avoid hot water and heat that could distort its shape.
Check for wear
Look for splits, thinning, or a change in fit. Arrange a review if the guard is damaged or uncomfortable.
Bring it to visits
Let us assess its condition and fit, especially as children grow or orthodontic treatment progresses.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Your mouthguard
questions.
Speak with our Thousand Oaks team about your sport, fitting needs, and the cost of a custom guard.
Which sports call for a mouthguard?
Consider a properly fitted mouthguard whenever impact to your mouth is possible. This includes contact sports and activities with falls or collisions. Tell us which sport you play and check your league’s equipment rules.
What about boxing, martial arts, and other combat sports?
Tell us which discipline you practise, including sparring and competition, so we can discuss a suitable design. Follow your governing body’s rules and wear appropriate protection during training as well as matches.
Can I wear a mouthguard with braces?
Yes. Your dentist or orthodontist can recommend an appropriate guard and check that it accommodates braces and tooth movement. A guard should not press tightly against brackets or interfere with treatment.
What should a well-fitting guard feel like?
It should remain secure and feel comfortable, without sharp edges or unnecessary interference with speaking or breathing. If you have to keep adjusting it or clench constantly to hold it, ask for a fit check.
Does a mouthguard improve athletic performance?
Fit can affect how comfortable a guard feels during activity, but we do not promise better performance or increased oxygen delivery. Protection and consistent use are the reasons to choose an appropriate sports guard.
Is a sports mouthguard the same as a night guard?
No. A sports mouthguard cushions impact during activity. A night guard is designed for a different purpose, such as managing tooth grinding. Ask about the appropriate appliance for your needs.
Does a custom guard guarantee protection?
No mouthguard prevents every injury. A properly fitted guard can reduce the risk and severity of dental injuries when worn as directed. It should be used alongside other required protective equipment.
Will a mouthguard prevent a concussion?
Do not rely on a mouthguard to prevent a concussion. Research on concussion protection remains inconclusive. Follow your sport’s safety guidance and seek medical assessment after a suspected head injury.
How often should it be replaced?
Ask us to check it if it becomes damaged, worn, uncomfortable, or loose. Growing children and people undergoing orthodontic treatment may need fit reviews more often.
Can my guard have a strap?
Tell our team about helmet attachments and any sport-specific requirements. Ask which design and attachment options are available and suitable for your activity.
How much does a custom mouthguard cost?
Contact our team for an estimate based on the guard recommended. Insurance benefits vary, so confirm coverage before ordering. Ask about the fitting process and expected turnaround when you book.
