At Lil’ Dente, we help protect your child’s smile on and off the field with custom sports mouth guards in Darien. Whether your child plays soccer, football, basketball, or martial arts, a properly fitted sports guard is essential to prevent dental injuries, broken teeth, and jaw trauma.
Sports guards are more than just a safety precaution, they’re a key part of responsible sports participation. Dental injuries can be painful, expensive, and difficult to treat. A mouth guard absorbs shock and helps protect against chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, as well as soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue.
Store-bought mouth guards often feel bulky and may not stay in place, especially during fast-paced games. Our custom-fitted sports guards are made from strong, durable material and designed to fit comfortably so your child can breathe, talk, and perform at their best.

Children who wear properly fitted mouth guards are 60 times less likely to suffer dental injuries while playing sports. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep young smiles safe.
At Lil’ Dente, we create custom sports guards specifically for children’s mouths. Our guards are made from high-quality, BPA-free materials and customized to fit comfortably, offering excellent protection without interfering with your child’s performance.
We work with children of all ages, explaining the purpose of the guard and how to wear it properly. Our goal is to provide both safety and comfort, so your child can stay active while keeping their growing smile safe from trauma.
We examine your child’s mouth, then take impressions to create a mold that ensures the guard fits snugly and comfortably.
Our dental lab uses durable, kid-safe materials to craft a strong, lightweight guard tailored to your child’s unique smile.
At the follow-up appointment, we confirm the fit and comfort. We teach your child how to wear, store, and clean the guard properly.
