Custom Mouthguards Sunbury
Protection That Fits Just Right
Protecting your teeth from injury starts with the right fit. At Sunbury Dentist, we create custom mouthguards that offer comfort, security, and reliable protection. Whether for sports or teeth grinding, they help you safeguard your smile with confidence and ease.
What Is a Custom Mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is a professionally made appliance that fits over your teeth to absorb impact or prevent damage caused by grinding or clenching. Unlike store-bought versions, which tend to be bulky or loose, a custom mouthguard is made using detailed impressions of your mouth. This ensures it stays in place and provides optimal protection without interfering with your breathing or speech.
We offer two main types of custom mouthguards: sports mouthguards, which are ideal for children, teens, and adults involved in contact sports or physical activities, and nightguards (also known as occlusal splints), which are designed for those who grind or clench their teeth during sleep.
A custom mouthguard may be the right solution if you or your child:
- Play contact or high-impact sports such as football, basketball, rugby, hockey, or martial arts
- Experience regular teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or morning headaches
- Have signs of worn or chipped teeth without a clear cause
- Use orthodontics and need extra protection during sport
- Want a comfortable, reliable fit without the bulkiness of over-the-counter options
Wearing a custom mouthguard can help prevent dental trauma, jaw injuries, soft tissue damage, and costly emergency treatments.
How We Create Your Custom Mouthguard
The process is simple, comfortable, and fully tailored to your unique smile:
Consultation and Assessment
We begin with a gentle exam and a conversation about your needs, whether you’re seeking protection for sport, nighttime clenching, or both. If necessary, we may take digital X-rays to assess your jaw joints or tooth positioning before recommending the right type of mouthguard for you.
3D Scanning or Physical Impressions
We capture a precise replica of your teeth and bite using either traditional impressions or our 3D digital scanner. The scan provides exceptional detail and allows us to design a mouthguard that fits securely and feels natural to wear, without bulkiness or discomfort.
Lab Fabrication
Your custom mouthguard is made at a trusted local dental lab using high-grade materials for durability, flexibility, and comfort. For sports mouthguards, you can even choose from a range of colours to match your team or personal style.
Final Fitting and Instructions
Once your mouthguard is ready, youāll return for a fitting. We check its fit and function carefully, make any minor adjustments, and provide guidance on how to store, clean, and care for it at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom mouthguard last?
The longevity of a custom mouthguard depends on how often itās used and how well itās cared for. Sports mouthguards for children and teens may need replacing each season due to growth or wear from activity. Adult mouthguards, particularly nightguards, typically last longer but can still degrade over time.
We recommend bringing your mouthguard to your regular dental visits so we can check the fit, examine for signs of wear, and let you know when a replacement is needed.
Can my child wear a mouthguard with braces?
Yes, and itās highly recommended for children with braces to wear a custom sports mouthguard during physical activity. A professionally made mouthguard will fit comfortably over orthodontic appliances while allowing room for teeth to shift as treatment progresses. It helps protect both the braces and the soft tissues of the mouth from impact.
Unlike generic versions, a custom-fitted mouthguard reduces the risk of injury without placing unnecessary pressure on brackets or wires, ensuring both safety and comfort.
Is a nightguard uncomfortable to sleep in?
A professionally fitted nightguard is designed specifically for your bite, so it should feel natural after a short adjustment period. Most people find it comfortable to wear during sleep and often notice improved rest, less jaw tension, and fewer symptoms like teeth grinding or morning headaches.
Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom nightguard fits securely without shifting, making it easier to sleep without disruption. If you ever feel discomfort, weāre here to adjust it and ensure the best fit possible.
