Why Penrith Dental Care Offers Custom Sports Mouthguards
We offer custom-fitted sports mouthguards at Penrith Dental Care because protecting your teeth during sport is one of the simplest, most affordable forms of dental prevention available. Dental injuries from sport — knocked-out teeth, fractured teeth, jaw fractures — are common and often result in significant pain, expense, and long-term consequences. A well-fitting custom mouthguard dramatically reduces all of these risks.
We make custom sports mouthguards for patients of all ages, from children playing their first season through to adult athletes at every level. Our mouthguards are fabricated from impressions of your exact teeth, ensuring a precise fit that stays in place comfortably, allows easy breathing and speech, and provides meaningful protection — not the inadequate protection of a chemist boil-and-bite guard.
Book your appointment: call (02) 4733 1197 or book online. Visit the Australian Dental Association or Healthdirect Australia for more information about sports mouthguards Penrith families can rely on. Every mouthguard we make is checked for fit and finish before it leaves our clinic, and we are happy to adjust or remake yours if your needs change, so the sports mouthguards Penrith players wear stay comfortable and protective season after season.
How a custom mouthguard is made
- We check your teeth and take an impression or digital scan.
- The mouthguard is made to that mould, in the thickness suited to your sport.
- At the fitting visit we check comfort, bite and breathing, and adjust it if needed.
Custom mouth guards compared with boil-and-bite
- Custom mouthguard: made from a mould of your teeth, so it stays in place without clenching and is easier to talk and breathe with.
- Boil-and-bite mouth guard: bought over the counter and shaped at home. The fit is looser and the material is often thin over the front teeth after moulding.
The Australian Dental Association recommends a custom-fitted mouthguard for anyone playing sport where there is a risk of a knock to the face.
Sports where a mouthguard is recommended
Rugby league, rugby union, AFL, soccer, hockey, netball, basketball, boxing, martial arts, water polo, lacrosse and skateboarding. Wear it at training as well as in games, because injuries happen at both.
Mouthguards for children and for braces
Children can wear a custom mouthguard as soon as they start a contact sport. Because their teeth and jaws are changing, the fit should be checked each season and the mouthguard replaced when it no longer fits. People with braces can still wear a mouthguard, and it can be designed to fit over the brackets. See our kids dentist page.
Looking after your mouthguard
- Rinse it in cool water after each use and let it dry
- Store it in a ventilated case, away from heat
- Bring it to your check-up so we can check the fit
- Replace it if it is split, bitten through or loose
Mouthguard cost and health funds
We confirm the fee before we start. We accept DVA card holders, NSW public dental (hospital) vouchers, the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), all health funds with HICAPS on-the-spot claiming, and private patients. Many private health funds with extras cover pay a rebate for a custom mouthguard, subject to your policy and annual limits, and we can claim on the spot with HICAPS.
If a tooth is chipped or knocked during sport, see cracked or chipped tooth repair or contact our emergency dentist.
