Sports Mouth Guards
At Narraweena Smiles, we know that dental injuries can happen in an instant on the sporting field. Whether you or your child plays football, rugby, hockey, or basketball, protecting your teeth is just as important as protecting your head or limbs. We provide professional, custom-made mouthguards that offer superior protection compared to over-the-counter alternatives.
What is a sports mouthguard
A sports mouthguard is a protective device worn over the teeth to cushion a blow to the face. While store-bought "boil-and-bite" options exist, they often lack the precise fit required to absorb impact effectively. A custom mouthguard is fabricated from a precise mould of your teeth, ensuring it stays in place during high-intensity activity, allowing you to breathe and speak clearly while reducing the risk of serious injury.
Common injuries a mouthguard prevents include:
- Chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth
- Cuts to lips, gums, and cheeks
- Jaw fractures or dislocation
- Tongue injuries
- Potential reduction in concussion severity

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a custom mouthguard better than one bought Over The Counter?

Mouthguards for Children & Teens

MOUTHGUARDS FOR ORTHODONTICS
Athletes undergoing orthodontic treatment need specific protection. Standard mouthguards can be impossible to fit over braces or may damage the brackets.

MOUTHGUARD TECHNOLOGY
Precision Impression Materials
We use high-grade dental impression technology to capture every contour of your teeth and gums. This ensures your mouthguard has excellent retention (suction) and distributes impact force evenly across the jaw, rather than on a single tooth.
Compassionate, Family-Focused Care
At Narraweena Smiles, every patient deserves a warm, welcoming environment where they feel heard and cared for. We take the time to explain the importance of dental safety to our younger patients and ensure the fitting process is fun and stress-free.
