Although your teeth enamel is one of the hardest compounds, it is still susceptible to cracks, breakage, and chips. Your teeth are even more prone to damage during sports and physical activity.
With an aim to provide better protection, we offer custom-fitted mouthguards at our practice in Buderim, Sunshine Coast. Every mouthguard is made from custom measurements, crafted by our trusted dental laboratories using high-quality materials that are durable, comfortable, and offer better protection than over-the-counter sports mouthguards.
A mouthguard is a rubber-like appliance that is worn over your teeth to help cushion them and your gums from the blows and shocks caused during physical activity or sport.
At Comfort Dental & Implant Centre, we advocate prevention over cure. If you engage in activities that are likely to impact your teeth and dental aesthetics, it’s much cheaper to invest in quality custom-fitted mouthguards than to later undergo extensive damage repair from injuries such as the loss of one or more teeth, chips, cracks, jaw fractures, and injuries to the soft tissues in your mouth.
Although store-bought mouthguards are usually a cheaper alternative to dentist made custom-fitted sports mouthguards, they come with a price. Here are some major reasons why dentist-made mouthguards are better at protecting your teeth over the store-bought generic ones:
Store bought mouthguards are not custom fitted which means there is a big risk that it won’t properly contour and cover the soft tissue as it should.
They don't fit as securely as the ones specifically designed for you. There is an increased risk of them falling out during the usage and potentially causing greater damage to your teeth.
Custom-made mouthguards do not restrict breathing or speaking or cause any of the discomfort often associated with store-bought options.
Different sports have unique risks. Our dentists are well-equipped to customise each mouthguard to ensure maximum protection for your specific activity.
Custom-fitted mouthguards found to be more durable than store-bought options.
Besides the superior protection and quality, you can customise your mouthguard to match your personality.
