Custom Mouthguards Mawson Lakes

Whether you’re playing footy, basketball, hockey, or even skating or cycling, a custom-fitted mouthguard is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile. At Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, we create high-quality, professionally fitted mouthguards for both adults and children involved in sports and physical activities.

A well-fitted mouthguard cushions the teeth, jaw, and soft tissues from impacts—helping to prevent chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and cuts to the lips and tongue. It’s a small investment that offers serious protection.

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?

Unlike store-bought options, our custom mouthguards are shaped to your unique bite, offering better comfort, fit, and durability. They make it easier to breathe, speak, and play without distraction. For anyone wearing braces or undergoing orthodontic treatment, a properly fitted mouthguard is especially important to avoid injury and damage to appliances.

We recommend mouthguards for a wide range of sports, including:

Football & rugby
Basketball & netball
Hockey & lacrosse
Martial arts & boxing
Skateboarding, biking & more

Even non-contact sports can result in accidental injuries—so it’s always worth playing it safe.

With proper care, your mouthguard can last for several seasons. If you already have one, feel free to bring it in—we’ll check its fit and condition and let you know if a replacement is needed.

Mouthguard FAQs

Why Wear a Mouthguard During Sports?

Wearing a mouthguard during sport helps protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from impact. It cushions blows to the face, lowering the risk of chipped teeth, cuts, and jaw injuries. Whether you’re playing contact sports or activities with a risk of falls or collisions, a custom-fitted mouthguard offers essential protection for your smile.

Do I Need a Night Guard for Teeth Grinding?

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth – or notice signs of wear on your teeth – you may be grinding them in your sleep. This condition, known as bruxism, can cause long-term damage if left untreated. At Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, our dentists can assess your symptoms and let you know if a custom night guard is the right solution to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort.

Can I Use a Store-Bought Mouthguard?

Store-bought mouthguards are convenient and cheaper, but they often lack the comfort and fit needed for proper protection. These one-size options can feel bulky, shift during use, and may not offer reliable coverage. At Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, our custom-made mouthguards are crafted to fit your mouth perfectly – giving you better comfort, stability, and protection during sport or sleep.

How Often Should I Replace My Mouthguard?

Mouthguards don’t last forever. Sports mouthguards often need replacing every season, especially if they show signs of wear, damage, or no longer fit well. Night guards can last several years but should be checked regularly for wear or changes in fit. At Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, we’ll assess your mouthguard during check-ups and let you know when it’s time for a replacement.

Can Children Wear Mouthguards?

Yes, children should wear mouthguards during sports or activities where there’s a risk of dental injury. A custom-made mouthguard offers a secure, comfortable fit and better protection than store-bought options. As your child grows and their teeth change, it’s important to have their mouthguard checked regularly to ensure it still fits properly. At Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, we’re here to help protect growing smiles.
