Custom Sports Mouthguards
in Underwood
Custom-fitted protection for your smile during sports and physical activities
Sporting accidents are one of the most common causes of dental injury. Every year thousands of people, including children, are treated for dental injuries that could have been avoided or minimised by wearing a protective, custom-fitted mouthguard.
A Dental Mouthguard For Training And Game Day
A sports mouthguard helps protect your teeth and mouth from impact. Wear it during training as well as games where there is a risk of injury. A dentist can check the fit and recommend an appropriate custom appliance.
What should I discuss at the appointment?
Tell us which sport you play and bring your current mouthguard if you have one. Mention braces, new dental work or a change in fit so we can assess what you need.
Fit Reviews And Other Appliance Types
When should the fit be reviewed? Arrange a check if the mouthguard becomes loose, damaged or uncomfortable. Growing children and patients having dental treatment may need more frequent fit reviews. Bring the appliance to your regular dental appointment.
Is a sports guard the same as a night guard? They have different uses. Read about night guards for teeth grinding if you need protection during sleep, and ask your dentist which appliance is appropriate.
Who should wear one?
Custom sports mouthguards are recommended for children, teenagers and adults who participate in contact or high-impact sports, including:
Even sports with a lower risk of collision can result in accidental dental injuries.
Why Custom-Fitted Mouthguards
Unlike over-the-counter mouthguards, a custom sports mouthguard is made specifically for your teeth and bite. This provides a more secure fit, greater comfort and better protection during physical activity.
A well-fitting mouthguard stays in place while allowing you to breathe, speak and focus on your game.
Our Custom Fitting Process
Getting your custom mouthguard is simple and usually completed in just a few appointments.
Dental Assessment
We'll examine your teeth and discuss the sport you play.
Digital Scan or Impressions
Precise impressions are taken to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.
Custom Fabrication
Your mouthguard is professionally made to suit your bite.
Fitting Appointment
We'll check the fit and make any adjustments before you're ready to wear it.
Booking, Timing and Costs
Book ahead of your sporting season so there is time for assessment, impressions or scans, fabrication and fitting. Turnaround depends on the appliance and current arrangements; ask our team to confirm the expected ready date before relying on it for a game.
Your estimate should explain the mouthguard fee and any related assessment or fitting charges. If you have braces or changing teeth, let us know when booking so these can be considered in the design and review plan. We can also discuss orthodontic treatment if that is part of your plan.
Protect Your Smile Before Game Day
A custom sports mouthguard is a simple investment that can help prevent serious dental injuries. Book an appointment before the season starts and play with confidence.
Dental Injuries A Mouthguard Can Help Prevent
A custom sports mouthguard helps absorb impact and reduce the severity of injuries that can occur during sport. While no mouthguard can prevent every injury, wearing one significantly lowers the risk of dental trauma.
It may help protect against:
Custom Vs Store-Bought Mouthguards
Replacing Your Mouthguard
Children and teenagers may need replacement mouthguards as their teeth and jaws develop. Adults should also replace worn, damaged or poorly fitting mouthguards to maintain effective protection. For younger patients, this often ties in with children's dental care and regular growth checks.
We'll check the fit during your regular dental visits and let you know when a replacement is recommended.
Benefits Of A Custom Mouthguard
- Helps protect teeth from fractures
- Reduces risk of knocked-out teeth
- Cushions impacts to the jaw
- Comfortable enough for regular wear
- Allows easier breathing and speaking
- Durable for ongoing use
Caring for Your Mouthguard
Rinse your mouthguard after use and clean it as advised at fitting. Store it dry in a protective case, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not put it in boiling water or chew on it, as this can affect its shape and fit.
Bring your mouthguard to dental visits so its condition and fit can be checked. Arrange a review if it becomes damaged or loose, or if your teeth change during growth or orthodontic treatment. Label both the appliance and its case to help prevent mix-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about custom sports mouthguards
Custom mouthguards are made specifically for your teeth, providing a more secure fit, greater comfort and better protection than over-the-counter options.
Anyone playing contact or high-impact sports, including children, teenagers and adults, should wear a sports mouthguard during training as well as games. Bring your current mouthguard to an appointment and tell us which sport you play so we can check the fit and recommend an appropriate custom appliance.
Sports such as rugby, AFL, hockey, basketball, martial arts, boxing and many other contact sports have a higher risk of dental injuries where mouthguards are strongly recommended.
Most custom sports mouthguards can be completed after your impressions or digital scans are taken, with fitting usually requiring only a couple of appointments.
The lifespan depends on wear, growth and the type of sport played. Arrange a check if the mouthguard becomes loose, damaged or uncomfortable. Growing children and patients having dental treatment may need more frequent fit reviews, and you should bring the appliance to your regular dental appointment.
Follow the cleaning instructions given at fitting. Keep it away from boiling water, direct sunlight and other heat, and store it dry in its protective case. The Australian Dental Association's sports mouthguard guide explains protection and care. Ask for a fit check if it becomes loose, damaged or uncomfortable.

A mouthguard cannot prevent every injury. If a tooth is broken, displaced or knocked out, seek prompt dental assessment. Serious facial injury, breathing difficulty or uncontrolled severe bleeding requires emergency medical attention. Do not continue playing with an injured tooth or a damaged mouthguard.
For urgent problems, see our guide to emergency dental care, and read what to do if you break a tooth.
