I am very pleased with my services from the staff at 7 O’Clock Dental and Dr. Tripp. The office is very clean and I was welcomed by Crystal at the front desk that made me at ease. I had a tooth that needed to be removed and I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but Dr. Tripp assured me that I would be fine. He removed the tooth and I could not believe it when he told me he was done. It was painless and extremely quick. I would recommend 7 O’Clock Dental to anyone seeking dental treatment.
Protect Your Teeth From Trauma With New Orleans Athletic Mouthguards
Although playing sports is a great way to keep yourself in shape, it can be hard on your teeth. Accidents occur, and the last thing you want is a missing tooth or other dental trauma due to a bad play. With our athletic mouthguards in New Orleans, you can prevent this kind of dental damage and keep your smile intact.
Dr. John Tripp knows all about sports as an avid athlete. He’s familiar with all the ways sports can benefit your body and also cause harm. That’s why 7 O’Clock Dental, LLC is dedicated to protecting your teeth with custom athletic mouthguards.
Your mouthguard will:
- Provide Proper Protection for Your Sport – We’ll design your mouthguard based on the sport you play. That way, the bulk and thickness will offer the right level of protection.
- Offer the Comfort of a Custom Fit – Since it’s designed just for you, a custom mouthguard won’t restrict your movement or breathing the way an off-the-shelf mouthguard can.
- Withstand Wear and Tear – Custom athletic mouthguards are made from highly durable materials, so they’ll hold up better than store-bought mouthguards.
For a custom mouthguard consultation or another general dentistry service, call 504-266-0664. We can create your mouthguard using your team colors, your team logo, or even your number.
Custom-Fit Mouthguards Offer Many Advantages
Athletes are 60 times more likely to have dental injuries if they don’t wear a mouthguard.

The most common type of mouthguard is the “boil-and-bite” style sold at athletic supply stores or drugstores. While any mouthguard is better than no mouthguard, those kinds of mouthguards do not offer the same level of protection you’ll get from a mouthguard designed just for you using precise measurements of your mouth. We use a Sprint Ray 3D printer for same- or next-day production of your custom mouthguard.
There are plenty of ways you can injure your teeth and mouth playing sports. Our custom athletic mouthguards aim to prevent:
- Broken teeth
- Lost teeth
- Soft tissue injuries to the gums, cheeks, lips, and tongue
If you or a family member needs athletic mouthguards in New Orleans, don’t trust your teeth to an over-the-counter product. Call 7 O’Clock Dental, LLC at 504-266-0664. You can also schedule online. Speaking of sports, we’re located on South Claiborne Avenue, a short drive from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome where the New Orleans Saints play.
Common Questions About Athletic Mouthguards
Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it’s made of high-quality, durable material.
For any oral appliance to fit well and work effectively, it needs to be customized to the precise measurements of your mouth. If you buy a mass-produced guard from a sporting goods store, you will never find one that is sized comfortably or appropriately enough to provide full coverage and protection. We can create a mouthguard that allows you to move, breathe, and communicate easily while keeping your smile safe.
A mouthguard that is custom designed just for your mouth will always outperform one that’s bought off the shelf. It will provide better protection for your teeth against injury, fit better, feel more comfortable, and last longer than an over-the-counter appliance. For this reason, we always recommend that you come to us to get a mouthguard.
