Sports Mouthguards in Hervey Bay

Athletes of all ages and skill levels face a higher risk of dental injuries during contact sports and high-impact activities. A well-fitted sports mouthguard is a simple yet powerful way to safeguard your teeth, gums, and jaw from serious harm.

Why Protection Matters in Sports

A custom-fit guard acts as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of cracked, chipped, or knocked-out teeth. It also helps prevent cuts to the lips, cheeks, and tongue while providing cushioning that minimises the impact of blows to the jaw.

While generic, store-bought options may seem like an easy solution, they often fail to provide a secure fit. Athletes wearing non-custom guards are twice as likely to experience a concussion compared to those with a professionally fitted option.

Who Benefits From Extra Protection?

Anyone involved in contact sports or high-impact activities should consider custom-fit protection, including those participating in rugby, football, hockey, basketball, boxing, martial arts, skateboarding, BMX, and other extreme sports.

The Advantage of a Custom Fit

A professionally made guard offers superior protection and comfort, ensuring:

A snug fit that stays in place without restricting breathing or speech
Maximum shock absorption to reduce the risk of injuries

A durable, long-lasting material designed for repeated use
Easy cleaning and maintenance with no unpleasant taste or odour

Our team creates each guard using precise dental impressions, ensuring a fit tailored to your unique smile. Once the impression is taken, the final product is fabricated in a specialised lab using high-quality materials designed to withstand impact and wear.

Keeping Your Guard in Top Condition

To extend its life and maintain hygiene, rinse the appliance with cool water before and after each use, store it in a ventilated case when not in use, and avoid exposing it to heat, which can cause warping. It’s also important to replace it as recommended, especially if it shows signs of wear.
