Custom Mouthguard in Geelong, for your teeths protection!
Don’t risk your teeth with a DIY Mouthguard, Belmont Denture Clinic specialise in custom Mouthguards for children and adults of all ages.
A Mouthguard is essential for protecting your teeth when playing contact sports.
Only a custom moulded Mouthguard will guarantee the best protection from impacts.
Comparing a custom fitted mouthguard to a DIY (boil and bite) is like comparing the fit and finish of a one size fits all suit to a tailor made suit, they’re generally not strong and durable enough, and the poor inconsistent fit generally does not work to protect your teeth.
This close fit, comfort and cushioning effect, allows custom made mouthguards to provide the best protection for your teeth.
While Belmont Denture Clinic’s custom mouthguards may be more expensive than a DIY style mouthguard, in this case, you definitely get what you pay for, as there is no substitute for the durability, fit, and protection of a custom fitted mouthguard. Ask yourself, how much are your, or your children’s teeth worth?
How we create your Custom Mouthguard:
We perform an assessment of your mouth to determine the fit, thickness and coverage required.
An impression is then taken of your teeth in our clinic, located just out of the CBD of Geelong, in order to produce a precise plaster model from which we produce a mouthguard that is uniquely yours.
All mouthguards are made in house at our Geelong clinic, materials used are the highest quality and exceed all safety standards.
When your mouthguard is ready, we will contact you so you can collect it when suitable.
We provide your new mouthguard in special case to keep it in with instructions on how to keep your new mouthguard clean and fresh.
Kids Mouthguard
It is important for kids who play sports to start wearing mouthguards from a young age so it becomes a routine and habit, this instills that the mouthguard isn’t optional but regarded as an essential piece of equipment whilst playing sports that have the potential for contact to the head.
From our experiences with a variety of sports in and around Geelong over the years, the three sports that have the poorest record for tooth loss, chipped teeth and broken jaws, that benefit the most from custom fitted mouthguards are AFL, Basketball and Hockey.
Mouthguard for Braces
Should you wear a mouthguard if you have braces? Absolutely, if you’re playing a sport that requires a mouthguard, for protecting your teeth against damages, you should also wear a mouthguard whilst playing that sport when you have braces.
Teeth and jaw injuries are very common in contact sports. Your braces provide little protection to your teeth and with braces there’s an added risk of injuring your lips or the inside of your cheeks. We recommend wearing a custom mouthguard for any sport where there is a risk of an impact to your mouth or face.
Private Health Mouthguard Rebate
If you have private health cover, most policies partly cover the cost of custom mouthguards, with some covering 100% of the cost.
For piece of mind, custom fitted mouthguards are worth the investment, call Belmont Denture Clinic, Geelong or contact us online if you have any questions or wish to make an appointment.
