Mouthguards

Protecting your teeth with comfort and confidence

What is a Mouthguard?

A mouthguard is a protective device worn over your teeth to shield them from injury or damage. At Oakleigh Dentist, we create custom‑fitted mouthguards designed to be comfortable, durable, and effective—whether you need one for sport, teeth grinding, or jaw protection.

When Might You Need a Mouthguard?

You may benefit from a mouthguard if you:

  • Play contact sports such as football, basketball, or hockey
  • Grind or clench your teeth at night (bruxism)
  • Experience jaw pain or tension headaches from clenching
  • Have dental restorations (crowns, veneers, implants) you want to protect

Let’s discuss the best options for your needs.
