Mouthguards Melbourne

Protect your smile with custom mouthguards

Participating in sports? Safeguard your smile with a custom-made mouthguard. Research shows that one in three dental injuries are sports-related, making mouthguards an essential protective measure for Melbourne athletes. Our custom mouthguards provide a thick, shock-absorbing barrier that shields teeth and the oral cavity from impact. By wearing a mouthguard, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of:

Chipped, broken, or lost teeth
Head, neck and oral cavity injuries
Jaw fractures and concussion
Unconsciousness and cerebral haemorrhage

Our mouthguards work by absorbing impact and preventing the lower jaw from jamming into the upper jaw, minimising the risk of serious injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I wear a mouthguard during sports?

Wearing a mouthguard during sport significantly reduces the risk of dental injuries. Custom mouthguards help protect your teeth, jaw, and oral cavity from impact. They can prevent chipped, broken, or lost teeth, as well as serious injuries like jaw fractures, concussion, and even unconsciousness.

What is the difference between a custom mouthguard and a store-bought one?

Custom mouthguards are professionally made using a precise impression of your teeth, ensuring a snug and secure fit. Unlike over-the-counter or boil-and-bite options, custom-fit guards provide superior protection, better comfort, and are more durable. They’re also less likely to fall out during play.

How do mouthguards help prevent injuries?

Mouthguards work by absorbing and dispersing the force of impact. They also stop the lower jaw from jamming into the upper jaw, reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and concussion. They act as a cushion for the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.

Who should wear a mouthguard?

Anyone playing contact sports or activities with a risk of falls or collisions—such as football, rugby, hockey, basketball, boxing, skateboarding, or martial arts—should wear a mouthguard. Children, teens, and adults can all benefit from custom protection.

What makes your custom mouthguards different?

Our mouthguards are crafted by qualified dental prosthetists using detailed impressions and high-quality materials. Each one is made in our on-site lab and adjusted to ensure an optimal fit. We also offer colour customisation for kids who want to support their team.

How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?

The process is typically completed over two appointments. During the first visit, we take a dental impression. The mouthguard is then crafted in our lab, and at the second visit, we fit and check it for comfort. The turnaround is usually within a few days.

Can children get custom mouthguards?

Yes, we regularly make custom mouthguards for children and teens. As children grow and their teeth change, we recommend reviewing their mouthguard annually to ensure it still fits properly and provides the necessary protection.

What is your mobile mouthguard service?

Our mobile service brings our dental prosthetists to schools and sports clubs across Melbourne. We provide on-site impressions and fittings, making it easy and convenient for teams to access professional dental protection without needing to visit a clinic.

How do I care for my mouthguard?

Rinse your mouthguard with cold water after each use, and brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Store it in a ventilated container, away from heat or direct sunlight, to prevent warping. Avoid chewing on it, and check regularly for signs of wear or damage.

How often should a mouthguard be replaced?

Mouthguards should be replaced every 12 months or sooner if they become damaged or no longer fit correctly. For children, more frequent replacements may be needed due to growth and changes in their dentition.
