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 can be painful, disfiguring and expensive to treat. Dental injuries may result in time off work or school to recover, and lengthy (expensive) dental treatment. A mouthguard, custom-fitted by your dentist and worn every time you play or train will protect against dental injuries.
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.

Yes. Custom-fitted mouthguards, made by a dentist, offer a superior fit, comfort, and protection compared to over-the-counter or boil-and-bite options.

Rinse it with cool water after each use, store it in a ventilated case, and clean it regularly with mild soap or a mouthguard cleaner. Avoid hot water to prevent warping.
