Sports Mouthguards Melbourne
A mouthguard, custom-fitted by your dentist, can reduce the risk of dental injuries. Sport, leisure and recreation activities are the most common cause of dental injuries.
Dental injuries during sports can be painful, expensive, and may require extensive dental treatment along with time away from work, school, or training. Wearing professionally fitted sports mouthguards is one of the most effective ways to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from impact-related injuries. Custom-made by your dentist for a precise fit, sports mouthguards offer greater comfort, durability, and protection compared to over-the-counter options, helping you stay safe and confident during every game and training session.
We take impressions of your teeth to make the custom fit mouth guard that gives the best protection against any injuries to your teeth and soft tissues.
