Custom mouthguards in Cannington
A custom-fitted mouthguard protects teeth, lips and jaws during sport. Night guards (occlusal splints) protect teeth from grinding and clenching.
What to know
Custom mouthguards are made from a scan or impression of your teeth, so they fit closely, stay in place and are easier to breathe and speak with than boil-and-bite guards.
Night guards are recommended when grinding is wearing teeth down, causing cracked fillings, or contributing to jaw pain and headaches.
What a visit involves
Impression
A quick scan or impression of your teeth.
Made
The guard is made in a dental laboratory, often within a week.

Common questions
Why not a chemist mouthguard?
Over-the-counter guards fit loosely and offer less protection. The Australian Dental Association recommends custom-fitted mouthguards for contact sport.
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Worn or chipped teeth, jaw ache on waking, headaches and sensitive teeth are common signs. Your dentist can check for wear at a routine visit.
This page is general information, not personal dental advice. Your dentist will examine you and explain the options, risks and costs that apply to you before any treatment.
