A sports mouthguard is an essential appliance for anyone who partakes in contact sports that risk contact with the mouth.

Prescription sports mouthguards provided by your dentist offer significantly greater protection than over-the-counter “boil and bite” mouthguards, giving you peace of mind that your teeth are protected during your preferred contact sport.

What is a sports mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard is an appliance that fits over your top teeth, creating a barrier should you sustain a blow to the mouth area.

Prescription sports mouthguards are made by taking digital impressions of your teeth, which provide accurate measurements. From these measurements, we can create a mouthguard that fits snugly over your teeth.

An accurately-fitting sports mouthguard is clinically proven to absorb more impact than over-the-counter sports mouthguards, which lose their shape within very few wears, reducing the protection they can offer.
