Mouthguards
Protect your smile with a custom-made mouthguard!
We have been making mouthguards for more than 20 years and offer a wide variety of mouthguard colours to choose from to make your mouthguard looks as good as it feels.
Various techniques and materials have been tried and tested to reach a process that we are confident will deliver great mouthguards every time.
Our mouthguards are made to an adequate thickness to provide sufficient protection for your age and sport activity. We make regular mouthguards to protect your teeth, and mouthguards that will fit over teeth with braces during orthodontic treatment. Mouthguards that are made to fit over braces are bulkier than usual as they need to fit over more structures on the surface of the teeth.
Our mouthguard material is kept to a minimum thickness on the palate, so speech is not affected as much, and there is enough space to breathe with ease.
Why should you wear a custom-made mouthguard?
They fit REALLY WELL! Custom made mouthguards are moulded over a replica of your own teeth, resulting in a close-fitting mouthguard that will not come off your teeth easily.
Mouthguards protect your teeth against impact and reduce the risk of tooth fractures. The surrounding soft tissues, like your lips, tongue and cheeks are also protected from laceration caused from broken teeth or accidental biting.
The risk of concussions is reduced when wearing a mouthguard due to the upper and lower teeth being prevented from clashing together during impact or fall.
Sport players can play their game with confidence knowing they have their teeth protected.
Mouthguard process
Consultation and impression: Our Dental Prosthetist will take an impression of the patients’ teeth. Dental stone is then added to the impression to create a mould, which the chosen mouthguard blank is moulded over.
Collection: Our staff will contact you to let you know when your mouthguard is ready for collection. Where possible, the mouthguard should be tried in at the time of collection to ensure a comfortable fit. On the odd occasion, mouthguards may need to be adjusted to reduce pressure to teeth or gums.
Mouthguards generally take a week to be made. If a special colour is requested and needs to be ordered from our supplier, then it may take a bit longer than usual.
Mouthguard care instructions
Keep the mouthguard in the case provided when not in use.
Avoid exposing the mouthguard to hot environments like the car’s dashboard in summer, or putting it through the tumble dryer.
Clean under lukewarm water with a toothbrush and toothpaste or detergent.
