Protect Your Teeth With Customized Mouthguards in Oxnard

You brush and floss daily and get regular dental cleanings to keep your mouth free from cavities and gum disease. Those aren't the only threats to your smile, however. When you play sports, there is a risk of dental injury. If you feel stressed, you may be grinding your teeth without realizing it. In those situations, we can make mouthguards in Oxnard, CA to protect your smile.

Our mouthguards will:

Fit comfortably since they are made just for you using dental impressions
Greatly reduce your risk of broken or knocked-out teeth
Stop damage that can occur from clenching and grinding
Improve your sleep by helping you breathe more easily

You want to keep all your teeth for as long as you can, and you want those teeth to remain as healthy and strong as they can be. Let us help you at Anacapa Dental Art Institute. Contact us today to set up an appointment at our general dental office.

We Offer Solutions to Protect Your Smile

Our personalized mouthguards do cost more than the kinds you will find in stores, but there is a reason for that. And compared to the cost of losing and replacing teeth, custom-designed mouthguards are a bargain. We offer three kinds of mouthguards that you should know about:

Athletic Mouthguards - Playing sports competitively or recreationally increases your risk of a dental injury. Athletes who don't wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to break or lose a tooth than athletes who don't wear mouthguards. Custom mouthguards provide the best protection. They are also smaller, which makes them more comfortable to wear than boil-and-bite mouthguards purchased from stores. Plus, custom-made mouthguards allow you to breathe, speak, and drink water without removing them.
Night Guards - Millions of people clench and grind their teeth while they sleep. You may not know this is happening, but you might notice the symptoms. Frequent jaw pain, jaw stiffness, headaches, and earaches may be the result of your grinding. A night guard is a special appliance that you can wear at night. It acts as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth to stop grinding. It also alleviates pressure on your jaw joints, which can stop the painful symptoms you are experiencing.
Sleep Apnea Appliances - This kind of oral appliance serves a different purpose. If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you stop breathing when you fall asleep because your airways slowly close. These interruptions in breathing prevent you from reaching the stages of deep sleep.

Keep your smile looking its best and get the healthy sleep that you deserve with mouthguards in Oxnard, CA. Call Anacapa Dental Art Institute today to make your appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer.

Sara L.

Dr. Jivraj and his staff are the absolute BEST in the industry and we are so lucky they're in practice here, locally, in Ventura County. They worked with me on every aspect of my dental journey. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They're upfront, forthright, and honest. I can't recommend anyone to a better dental group than Anacapa Dental Art Institute. You'll be amazed at how they can change your image of self. Smile again without any worry of what others will think, and give you back your self-confidence.

I have both upper and lower complete implants and couldn't be happier. Dr. J and his assistant Laura are amazing. My appointments always started on time, there was minimal pain, and they always called at home to check in on me. The office is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art...

Barbara J.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Steven W.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Anthony V.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Denise D.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

What is gum disease treatment?

Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully get your gums back into shape, or they will use a gentle laser to remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back at the same time.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that build ups around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating "pockets" where more bacteria accumulates. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.

Can you cure gum disease at home?

No, you can't cure gum disease at home - not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can't be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all of the bacteria from this area and then smoothes your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.

What are gum disease symptoms?

You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It's also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

Our team is dedicated to providing you the most comfortable treatment possible. We use a local anesthetic that will numb your gums, so you don't feel any discomfort. If laser treatment is needed, it is a quick and painless method for eliminating infection from your gums. In addition, dental sedation is available to help you relax during your treatment.
