Many teeth are broken or lost in sporting accidents. Although mouthguards are worn by some participants playing sport there are still many injuries because “stock mouthguard” or “boil and bite mouthguard” ARE NOT EFFECTIVE.

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends anyone who participates in a sport that carries a risk of contact to the face should wear a professional “custom fit mouth-guard” to prevent dental injuries from occurring or reducing the severity of them.

A good mouth-guard should be of sufficient thickness in the correct areas, resilient, well retained, comfortable, and should not interfere with speaking and breathing.

Your custom fit mouthguard will be comfortable, provide you with maximum protection and could save you from extensive dental treatment, concussion and jaw injuries. A variety of colors and patterns are available for you to choose from.

As part of our dedication to the prevention of dental sporting injuries we provide custom fitted sports mouthguards to our patients at health fund rebate only.

It typically takes 2 dentist appointments to receive a custom-made mouth-guard. During the 1st visit, our dentist takes a bite record and makes an impression of your teeth. These will be used to create a custom-made mouth-guard that allows for proper teeth alignment. During the 2nd visit, the patient gives the mouth-guard a test run and our dentist makes the necessary adjustments.
