Mouthguards

Yes. If your child participates in contact sports, a custom mouthguard is essential protective equipment. Many parents think protection isn't necessary since baby teeth fall out - but injuries to baby teeth can affect permanent tooth development, and injuries to permanent teeth are permanent. A single incident can result in tooth loss and costly treatment. Custom mouthguards also build good safety habits early. Book a consultation with our Geelong dentist today to discuss your specific needs.

Yes. Dental injuries can happen to athletes of any age, and the consequences are the same whether you're 15 or 45. Adult teeth don't regrow, so an injury that causes tooth loss is permanent and expensive to treat - potentially requiring implants, bridges, or other restorative work that costs thousands of dollars. A custom mouthguard is a small investment that protects a much larger investment in your health.

If you participate in contact sports like rugby, football, boxing, or even recreational basketball, a custom mouthguard is essential. Chat with our Dentalspa Geelong team today about your mouthguard options.

The fitting process is straightforward. During your first appointment at our Geelong clinic, we'll take a precise impression of your teeth. Your custom mouthguard is then fabricated in our lab and is typically ready within 1-2 weeks. We'll contact you when it's ready for collection.

Absolutely. We regularly fit custom mouthguards for patients with braces, implants, crowns, and other dental restorations. Your specific dental situation actually makes a custom mouthguard even more important - it ensures your existing dental work is properly protected during sport. During your first appointment at Dentalspa geelong, we'll check all your existing dental work and design your mouthguard accordingly.

The risk of serious dental injury increases significantly. A single impact to the mouth can result in dental emergencies such as chipped teeth, broken teeth, or even complete tooth loss. These injuries often require extensive and expensive treatment - sometimes involving implants, crowns, or other restorative work costing thousands of dollars.

Beyond the financial cost, dental injuries can affect your appearance, your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and your confidence. A custom mouthguard is relatively inexpensive insurance against these serious consequences. If you're currently playing sport without protection, we'd strongly encourage you to contact us at Dentalspa Geelong to discuss getting fitted.
