Mouthguards — Protect Your Smile During Sports
​
Dental injuries are a common consequence of sporting accidents. A mouthguard is an essential piece of athletic gear, providing critical protection for your teeth and gums during high-contact sports.
Wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard can:
​
-
Reduce the impact of blows to the mouth
-
Prevent chipped or broken teeth, nerve damage, and tooth loss
-
Minimise jaw injuries
​
Unlike generic mouthguards, custom-fitted mouthguards are made to suit your individual mouth, offering superior comfort and performance. They:
​
-
Fit securely without shifting
-
Allow you to speak clearly
-
Do not restrict breathing
-
Feel comfortable during play
​
The cost of repairing teeth after trauma can be significant. Prevention is always better than cure, and at The Dentist, we create high-performance, customised mouthguards to keep your smile safe.
Nightguards — Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
​
Many people clench or grind their teeth during sleep without realising it. This habit can place excessive stress on your jaw joints, muscles, teeth, and supporting gums and bone, leading to:
​
-
Excessive tooth wear
-
Tooth fractures or breakdown
-
Jaw discomfort and headaches
-
Unsightly changes to the appearance of teeth
​
A customised nightguard is a durable, resilient splint worn at night to protect your teeth from the forces of clenching and grinding. While it may take a short time to adjust to wearing a nightguard, it’s one of the best preventative steps you can take for long-term dental health.
