Night Guard or Sports Guard. We've Got You.

Rohnert Park's young families and college-age students include athletes in soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, and other collision sports where dental trauma is a real risk. These athletes live throughout the community, from Canon Manor and the A sections through the M sections. The 20-25 minute drive to Windsor for a custom-fitted mouthguard fitting is reasonable, especially when parents understand that a single tooth restoration costs several times more than preventing the damage with a proper guard. Many families schedule mouthguard appointments at the same time as routine checkups to consolidate trips.

For Sonoma State University athletes, custom mouthguards are often a requirement of their sport program or recommended by their coach. The straightforward route to Windsor makes fitting appointments convenient even during busy competitive seasons.

Custom-fitted athletic mouthguards for Rohnert Park patients are fabricated from a model of your teeth and provide superior protection compared to boil-and-bite guards purchased over-the-counter. The custom guard is shaped precisely to your unique tooth anatomy, provides even pressure distribution across all teeth, and is significantly more comfortable to wear during extended physical activity. Dr. Bonin typically takes a digital scan or impression at the appointment, sends it to the laboratory, and the finished guard is ready within one to two weeks.

Athletic mouthguards are typically made from flexible thermoplastic or layered materials that absorb impact energy without transferring sharp force to individual teeth. Rohnert Park athletes often wear them during practice and competition, and they typically last one to two seasons before wear warrants replacement.

Rohnert Park's college athletes are often surprised to learn that custom mouthguards are significantly more comfortable and better-fitting than boil-and-bite alternatives, which often cause gagging or slipping during intense activity. Young families prioritize mouthguards as injury prevention, recognizing that a lost or broken tooth in a child is an expensive, emotionally difficult experience. One impact-prevented is worth multiple appointments and the cost of a custom guard.
