Mouthguards.
Protect your smile
while you play.
Whether you're playing footy on the weekend, hockey, basketball, martial arts or simply enjoying an active lifestyle, a
properly fitted mouthguard can help protect your teeth from injury.
At Claremont Dental, we provide custom-fitted sports mouthguards designed around you, your teeth
and your sport - giving you protection without getting in the way of the game.
What is a mouthguard?
A mouthguard is a protective appliance worn during sport to help reduce the risk of dental injuries caused by impact.
A well-fitted mouthguard sits securely over your teeth while allowing you to breathe, speak and play comfortably.
Whether you're an adult competing at a high level, playing social sport on the weekend or a parent looking to protect your child's smile, the right mouthguard is an important part of your sporting equipment.
Is it right for you?
If you play a contact or high-impact sport, protecting your teeth should be part of your preparation.
Football, hockey, rugby, basketball, boxing, martial arts and many other sports carry a risk of impact to the mouth and teeth.
It's not about how seriously you play. It's about protecting your smile when the unexpected happens
Our approach
Protection starts with the right fit.
A mouthguard needs to be comfortable enough to wear and secure enough to stay in place when you need it.
We create custom-fitted mouthguards around your individual teeth and mouth rather than relying on a generic fit.
We'll consider your sport, your teeth and your individual needs to make sure your mouthguard provides the protection and comfort you're looking for.
Because the best mouthguard is one you'll actually want to wear.
What to expect
We'll assess your teeth and discuss the sport you play and the level of protection you need.
For a custom mouthguard, we'll take an impression of your teeth so your mouthguard can be made specifically for your mouth.
When it's ready, we'll check the fit to make sure it feels comfortable and secure before you take it onto the field, court or ring.
We'll also explain how to clean and care for your mouthguard and when it may need replacing.
Your questions answered
Why should I choose a custom-fitted mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is made specifically for your teeth and mouth, providing a more precise fit than a generic mouthguard. This can make it more comfortable and secure during sport.
Which sports should I wear a mouthguard for?
Mouthguards are particularly important for contact and collision sports, including football, hockey, rugby, basketball, boxing and martial arts. If you're unsure whether your sport carries a risk of dental injury, we're happy to advise you.
Does a mouthguard need to be replaced?
Mouthguards can wear over time, particularly with regular use. For children and teenagers, growth and changes to their teeth can also affect the fit. We'll let you know when it's time for a replacement.
Can adults have custom mouthguards?
Absolutely. Mouthguards aren't just for kids. They're suitable for adults who participate in contact or high-impact sports and want to protect their teeth while they play.
