Protect your smile during sports with custom Sport Guards in Orange City, FL. At Revive Dentistry, we provide comfortable, properly fitted guards designed to help cushion your teeth and reduce the risk of dental injuries.
Playing sports comes with a real risk of injury, especially to your teeth. A stray elbow, a hard fall, or contact with the ball or another player can chip a tooth, loosen it, or knock it out completely, and a properly fitted mouth guard is one of the simplest ways to lower that risk and keep your smile safe.
At Revive Dentistry, we build custom sport guards that fit your mouth exactly, giving you comfort and protection a store-bought guard can’t match. This service is part of our broader preventive dental care for patients throughout Orange City, DeBary, DeLand, and the surrounding West Volusia County area.
Most athletes reach for a stock or boil-and-bite guard from a sporting goods store, but these designs rely mostly on biting down to stay in place, which can make breathing and talking harder during play. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, custom-fabricated mouth guards made from a dental mold fit more securely and protect better than boil-and-bite or stock alternatives, and most patients find them more comfortable too. A custom guard from Revive Dentistry is molded to your exact bite, so it stays put without you needing to clench your jaw to hold it there.
A sport guard is a good idea for anyone who plays a contact sport, and for many who play sports not usually considered high risk. Basketball, baseball, wrestling, and even activities like gymnastics or skateboarding can lead to a fall or collision that damages a tooth. Young athletes are especially prone to these injuries because their teeth and jaws are still developing, which is why we often recommend a fitting as part of routine pediatric dentistry for kids involved in organized sports.
Your sport guard fitting at Revive Dentistry starts with a digital impression of your teeth, so there is no messy putty or extra time spent in the chair. Dr. Khezri reviews your bite and guides you through each step along the way, consistent with his approach of making sure every patient feels informed before moving forward with any part of their care. Once your guard is ready, we check the fit in person and make any small adjustments needed so it feels secure and comfortable from the very first practice.
Digital impressions comfortably capture the exact shape of your mouth, so your guard sits securely without shifting or gagging.
Custom guards use durable materials designed to hold up through practices and games, not just a single hit.
Dr. Khezri takes the time during your fitting to answer your questions, so you always know what to expect.
Dr. Omid Khezri is the founder of Revive Dentistry and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2016. He holds a Fellowship credential (500+ post-doctoral continuing education hours) and a Mastership through the Academy of Implant Prosthetics, which covers both the surgical and prosthetic phases of implant care. Before dentistry he taught high school for two years, and he brings that same explain-everything approach to every consultation.

Learn MoreIf you are considering a sport guard for yourself or your child, these are a few of the questions we hear most often from patients in Orange City.
Some high school sports, including football, ice hockey, lacrosse, and field hockey, mandate mouth guards, but several other sports with a real risk of dental injury, including basketball, do not. We may recommend a guard for any activity where a fall or collision is possible, even if the league doesn't require one. The cost of prevention through this protection is far less stressful and more cost-effective than contending with a knocked-out or cracked tooth.
A mouth guard lowers your risk of injury, but it can’t prevent every possible impact. If a tooth gets chipped, cracked, or loosened during play, our restorative dentistry team can evaluate the damage and recommend the right repair option for you.
Adults typically replace a sport guard every one to two seasons, depending on wear and tear. Children and teens usually need new guards more often since their teeth and jaws are still growing and changing shape. If your child’s mouth changes, they will need to get a new guard to properly protect their smile.
Coverage for sport guards varies by plan, so we work with all insurance plans to help you understand what applies to your situation. For patients without coverage, our financing options through Cherry and CareCredit can help make a custom guard more affordable.
