Custom made mouthguards by a dentist provide superior protection and are recommended by the Australian Dental Association rather than boil and bite or over the counter mouthguards.

Custom made mouthguards by a dentist are the best way to protect your teeth during sports.
In a growing child a new mouthguard should be made every year because there is usually significant change in the shape of the jaw and teeth over that time. Late teen years and adults are usually able to keep their mouthguards for much longer.
Normal turn around for your mouth guard is 4 working days.
You can also book Leederville Dental to come to your local sporting club and create impressions for your club members and then return the mouthguards to the club with a quick turnaround.
What types of custom mouthguards are available?
We offer mouthguards tailored for sports protection, teeth grinding (bruxism), and TMJ relief. Each is made from precise dental impressions to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
How is a custom mouthguard made and how long does it take?
The process begins with dental impressions or digital scans. The custom guard is then lab-fabricated and fitted in a follow-up appointment, usually within one to two weeks.
How do I care for my mouthguard and how often should it be replaced?
Rinse and brush your mouthguard daily, soak it in a mild cleaner occasionally, and store it in its case. Most need replacement every 12 to 18 months or sooner if they show wear or no longer fit snugly.
