What Are Oral Appliances?

Oral appliances or mouth guards play an integral part in treating sleep apnea and snoring and protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw if you or someone in your family play a high-impact sport or experience bruxism at night. At Dr. Matrullo & Associates, our dental professionals concentrate on producing custom-fit oral appliances to help sleep apnea patients sleep better and protect athletes from potential damage. Compared to generic mouth guards bought at the store, customized mouth guards from our expert team are crafted and adjusted for you, making them even more comfortable and effective. Our Cranston, RI team is proud to offer this simple, comfortable, and reliable support that will help you achieve better health and well-being. Contact us for more information about custom oral appliances.

What should I Expect from Oral Appliances?

To customize your oral appliance, our team will take a collection of digital or physical dental impressions. Your impressions will be sent to a dental laboratory where your mouth guard will be carefully crafted from durable, high-quality materials. Once completed and delivered back to our practice, you will come back to our office to have your guard fitted. Our staff will ensure that your guard fits properly and feels comfortable, whether you need it for sports or to sleep. To treat sleep apnea, this custom-made device fits in your mouth at night and gently places the jaw into a forward position to continue to keep your airway open.

Dr. Matrullo & Associates Reviews

Dr. Patel & Tanika were awesome you can tell they really care for their patients I went in for a fill in & they both took the time to make sure everything felt and looked good to me Dr.Patell made sure that the tooth was perfect going back in several times until it felt completely smooth & even told me that after the numbness wears off if it doesn't feel as smooth to me as now that she would go back in and smooth it out again which I don't think will be needed considering she such a good job the first time. 😊 You can tell it is more than just a job for her and her assistant Tanika made sure I was comfortable the whole time she was very gentle when holding back my lip for Dr.Patell to get in there you'll be in good hands if you get these two. They're a super team and it was probably my best & most comfortable appointment they ensured that I didn't feel like a bother to them, they took their time did not rush at all it made me actually feel good about coming back when usually I dread going to the dentist as I'm sure many do but I guarantee after an appointment with these two you'll have a whole new perspective on dentist appointments and the dentist in general, Thanks girls I appreciate the hard work you two put in I know my smile is in good hands!😁

By far the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I called in for an emergency appointment as a first-time patient, and I was seen the same morning. I was met by a welcoming and professional staff at the front desk, followed by the sweetest assistant and dentist, Dr. Patel. They were so gentle and comforting from the x-rays to the actual procedure. I won’t be going anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Oral Appliances FAQs

Are oral appliances comfortable to wear?

When designed properly, most patients find oral appliances easy to adapt to. Since these devices are custom-crafted to match the shape of your teeth and jaw, they tend to feel more natural than over-the-counter options. Our team at Dr. Matrullo & Associates prioritizes comfort and function when fitting your device.

How long will my oral appliance last?

With proper care, oral appliances can last several years. Regular cleanings, safe storage, and routine checkups with our team help extend the life of your appliance. We’ll also monitor how well it’s working and make adjustments if your needs change.

What’s the difference between a night guard and a sports mouth guard?

While both are oral appliances, they serve different purposes. Night guards protect your teeth from grinding during sleep, while sports mouth guards shield your teeth from injury during physical activity. At Dr. Matrullo & Associates, we offer both types, custom-fitted to provide the best protection for your smile.
