Custom Mouthguards for Lasting Protection
At Dentures Direct Ballina, we design and manufacture custom-fitted mouthguards that provide essential protection for the teeth, gums and jaw during sports or physical activities. Unlike generic store-bought options, professionally made mouthguards are tailored to fit each patient’s mouth precisely, offering improved comfort, stability and breathability. They help reduce the risk of injury from impact, protecting not only the teeth but also soft tissues and joints in the mouth.
Each mouthguard is made using durable, high-quality materials that meet professional standards for strength and safety. Our process ensures the guard fits comfortably, allowing for clear speech and easy breathing during use. To arrange a consultation or have a custom mouthguard made, call (02) 6681 6691 today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom mouthguard used for?
A custom mouthguard is a protective oral appliance designed to cushion the teeth, gums, and jaw from injury during contact or high-impact sports. It reduces the risk of broken or displaced teeth, cuts to soft tissues and joint injuries caused by sudden impacts. Unlike standard mouthguards, a custom design provides a precise fit, improving comfort, protection and the ability to speak and breathe naturally while wearing it.
How is a custom mouthguard made?
A dental professional creates a custom mouthguard by taking an impression of the patient’s teeth and gums to capture their exact shape. The impression is used to form a mouthguard from high-quality, shock-absorbing material. Once fabricated, the mouthguard is adjusted for fit and comfort to ensure it stays securely in place during activity. The result is a durable, long-lasting appliance tailored specifically for the individual’s mouth.
How long do mouthguards last?
The lifespan of a custom mouthguard depends on how frequently it’s used and whether any changes occur in the mouth, such as new dental work or growth in younger patients. Typically, a mouthguard lasts one to two years with regular use. It should be replaced if it becomes loose, damaged or shows signs of wear. Regular dental reviews help ensure the mouthguard continues to provide effective, safe protection.
How should mouthguards be cleaned and stored?
Mouthguards should be cleaned after each use with cool water and a soft brush to remove debris. Avoid using hot water, as heat can distort the material. After cleaning, allow it to air dry and store it in a ventilated container away from direct sunlight. Periodic checks for wear or damage are recommended to maintain hygiene and ensure continued effectiveness.
Durable, Comfortable & Professionally Fitted
A well-made mouthguard plays a crucial role in preventing dental injuries, such as chipped, fractured or displaced teeth. Professionally fitted mouthguards are especially valuable for children, athletes and individuals involved in contact or high-impact sports. At Dentures Direct Ballina, we take accurate impressions to ensure a snug, protective fit that stays securely in place, even during intense activity.
Custom mouthguards are also easier to maintain and last longer than off-the-shelf alternatives. With the right fit and material, they provide ongoing protection without affecting performance or comfort. Regular reviews help assess the condition of the mouthguard over time, ensuring it continues to provide effective protection. By investing in a professionally fitted mouthguard, patients gain both peace of mind and reliable protection for their teeth.
