Mouth Guards

Protect Your Smile with a Custom-Fitted Mouth Guard from Your Ferntree Gully Dentist

Sport and recreational activities are leading causes of dental injuries, but you can protect your teeth with a custom-fitted mouth guard. At Mountain Gate Dental Clinic, we provide high-quality, personalised mouth guards designed to offer superior comfort, fit, and protection.

Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?

Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouth guards are made specifically to fit your mouth. This close fit provides better shock absorption, comfort, and protection during contact sports or high-risk activities. Poorly fitting store-bought guards can interfere with breathing and speaking, while custom guards stay securely in place.

How Are Custom Mouth Guards Made?

1. Your Ferntree Gully dentist takes an impression of your teeth.

2. A precise plaster model is created to design your mouth guard.

3. The mouth guard is tailored for ideal thickness, coverage, and fit, based on your specific sport or activity.

Caring for Your Mouth Guard:

• Rinse with soap and warm water after use and air-dry.

• Disinfect occasionally with mouthwash.

• Store in a ventilated plastic box, away from heat and sunlight.

• Have your dentist check the fit at regular dental visits.

• Replace if damaged, or if significant dental changes occur.

• Children may need a new mouth guard every 12–18 months due to growth.

Custom mouth guards can also be made to fit comfortably over braces, ensuring ongoing protection during dental treatment.
