MMA and Sports Mouthguards
The BIOguard® mouthguard is a multi-layer, high heat/pressure laminated mouthguard.
The benefits of using high heat, 6 atmospheres of pressure and multi-layers of PolyShoK material during processing are as follows:
The most precise adaptation to the hard and soft tissues of any other type of mouthguard. The combination of high heat/pressure results in no elastic memory, leading to minimal deformation over the period of wear.
Controlled thickness in key areas providing optimal protection for each sports specific needs.
Ability to provide lab or chairside occlusal indexing for proper separation ofposterior teeth for increased concussion prevention.
Ability to customize for orthodontics and mixed dentition.
Plus, the advantages of PolyShoK polymers!

PolyShoK™ is a technological breakthrough with a wide range of applications:
The optimal material for custom athletic mouthguards. Professional mouthguards formed with PolyShoK Technology are safer for athletes and can absorb 150% more impact energy than ordinary mouthguards.
PolyShoK Co-Polymer Mouthguard Technology provides improved shock absorption which can result in less destructive forces being transferred to dental structures, fewer oral-fascial injuries, and less concussions.
Helps create softer, better fitting, more comfortable mouthguards more likely to be in proper position and ready when unexpected impacts occur .
Now available in 13 brilliant colors.
Why Custom Mouthguards Matter
At our practice, we have seen firsthand what happens when athletes rely on cheap, store-bought mouthguards. They do not fit properly, they interfere with breathing, and when impact actually occurs, they often fail to protect the teeth and jaw adequately. A custom-fabricated mouthguard from Sorrento Valley Dental is a completely different product — it is built from an impression of your actual teeth, layered with professional-grade materials, and designed to absorb and distribute force.
Our Fabrication Process
We use a laminated fabrication method that combines multiple layers of PolyShoK material under high heat and six atmospheres of pressure. This creates a mouthguard that fits your teeth precisely while providing maximum shock absorption. The entire process starts with a quick impression at our office. Most patients have their finished mouthguard within a week.
Who Should Get a Custom Mouthguard
We recommend custom mouthguards for anyone involved in contact sports: MMA, boxing, football, basketball, soccer, hockey, wrestling, and rugby. But athletes are not the only ones who benefit. Patients who grind their teeth at night — a condition called bruxism — often get significant relief from a custom night guard. Dr. Hoang has fitted hundreds of mouthguards over the years, and the feedback is consistently the same: once you wear a custom guard, you never go back to the store-bought kind.

Getting fitted for a custom mouthguard at Sorrento Valley Dental is quick and painless.
