Dental Sports Mouthguard near Whitton

Dental Sports Mouthguard near Whitton

A custom-fitted sports mouthguard from your dentist offers far superior protection compared to anything bought in a sports shop. Made directly from impressions of your own teeth, a custom guard fits precisely, stays in place during play, allows normal breathing and speech, and provides significantly more shock absorption.

Custom vs shop-bought mouthguards

Shop-bought boil-and-bite mouthguards are bulky, fit poorly and tend to fall out during impact — the moment when you need them most. A custom-fitted guard is 3–4mm of precisely formed, layered material covering every tooth surface exactly. Studies show custom guards absorb significantly more impact force than generic alternatives.

Which sports need a mouthguard?

Any sport where there is a risk of contact to the face. This includes rugby, hockey, boxing, martial arts, basketball, football, cricket and cycling. Many sports governing bodies now require mouthguards — and even where they are optional, the consequences of dental injury without one can be severe and expensive.

The process

We take a simple impression of your upper teeth at a short appointment. Your custom mouthguard is then made to order in the colour of your choice. Most guards are ready within 1–2 weeks. We check the fit at the collection appointment and make any adjustments needed.
