Custom Sports Mouthguards
Custom Sports Mouthguards in Kingswood & Penrith
Dental injuries are among the most common — and most preventable — injuries in sport. A custom-fitted sports mouthguard from Maharjan's Local Dentures in Kingswood helps protect Western Sydney athletes from chipped, cracked and knocked-out teeth.
Moulded from your own teeth, a custom mouthguard lets you breathe, talk and stay hydrated easily while you play. If you take part in high-impact sport — rugby league, rugby union, AFL, hockey, boxing, martial arts and more — a properly fitted guard is a must for every junior and adult on the field.
Best of all, custom mouthguards are usually claimable on private health insurance (dental item 151). For pricing on a custom-fitted sports mouthguard, call us on (02) 4783 8337. We also provide custom dentures and comprehensive denture repairs.
Benefits of a Custom-Fitted Sports Mouthguard
A professionally made mouthguard offers protection, comfort and durability that over-the-counter, boil-and-bite options simply cannot match — whether you play weekend footy or train every day.
01
Precision Custom Fit
Moulded from an impression of your own teeth and gums, a custom mouthguard sits snugly in place — far more comfortable and secure than a boil-and-bite from the chemist.
02
Superior Impact Protection
A close, even fit helps cushion and disperse impact across the teeth, gums and jaw — protection that off-the-shelf guards often cannot match on the field.
03
Breathe & Talk With Ease
Custom guards can be made thinner and lower-profile, so you can breathe, call plays and stay hydrated without constantly readjusting during play.
04
Built to Last a Season
Made from high-quality laminated materials, a professionally made mouthguard stands up to repeated wear far better than a generic store-bought option.
05
Fewer Dental Injuries
By covering the teeth and absorbing shock, a custom guard helps reduce the risk of chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth — and the costly emergency treatment that follows.
06
Team Colours & Choice
Choose the colour and thickness to suit your sport and your club — a guard you actually want to wear is a guard that keeps protecting you.
Mouthguards for Every Code & Club
From contact codes to the gym, a professionally fitted mouthguard gives your smile the protection store-bought guards often cannot. We make custom mouthguards for players of all ages across the Penrith and Nepean region, including:
Use Your Private Health Cover (Item 151)
Protecting your teeth doesn't have to be expensive. Custom sports mouthguards are typically claimable through private health funds under dental item number 151. Depending on your level of extras cover, you may be eligible for a rebate — and in some cases a no-gap result.
We can process eligible health-fund claims on the spot through HICAPS, so you only pay any remaining difference. Bring your health-fund card to your appointment and our team will help you make the most of your cover.
How to Care for Your Sports Mouthguard
Looking after your custom mouthguard helps maintain its protection and longevity. After each use, rinse it with cool water to remove saliva and debris, then gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and an approved cleaner. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material and ruin the fit.
When it's not in use, store the mouthguard in its ventilated case so it can dry fully. This helps prevent bacteria build-up and keeps it in good condition. Keep the case clean and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and the car's glovebox on hot Sydney days.
Inspect the guard regularly for cracks, tears or a change in fit. If it shows signs of wear — or your child has had a growth spurt — it may be time for a replacement to ensure continued protection on the field.
Sports Mouthguard FAQs
How much does a custom sports mouthguard cost in Australia?
Off-the-shelf, boil-and-bite mouthguards generally cost under $80, while professionally made custom mouthguards in Australia typically range between roughly $150 and $400 depending on the lamination, thickness and finish. Because the guard is made specifically for your mouth, it lasts longer and protects far better. Call us on (02) 4783 8337 for current pricing on a custom-fitted sports mouthguard.
Can I claim a mouthguard on my private health insurance?
In most cases, yes. Custom sports mouthguards are usually claimable through private health funds under dental item number 151. Depending on your level of extras cover, you may receive a rebate or even a no-gap result. We can process eligible health-fund claims on the spot via HICAPS so you only pay any difference.
Are custom mouthguards really better than boil-and-bite ones?
Yes. Over-the-counter and boil-and-bite guards have a looser, bulkier fit, are harder to talk and breathe through, and are prone to coming loose during a game. A custom mouthguard is made from a precise mould of your teeth, so it stays in place, absorbs impact more effectively and is more comfortable to wear for the whole match.
Should my child wear a mouthguard for school and junior sport?
Absolutely. The Australian Dental Association and Sports Medicine Australia recommend a properly fitted mouthguard for anyone playing contact or collision sport — including juniors. As children grow and lose baby teeth, their guard may need remaking each season to keep the fit (and the protection) right.
Can I wear a custom mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes. Custom mouthguards can be made for people with braces and are strongly recommended, as they protect both the teeth and the orthodontic hardware from impact. The fit accommodates the braces while keeping you comfortable and protected during play.
How often should a custom mouthguard be replaced?
It depends on how often it is worn and how well it is cared for. Regular players may replace a guard every one to two years, while growing children often need a new one each season. Replace it sooner if you notice tears, cracks, a change in fit or general wear.
Which sports need a mouthguard?
A mouthguard is a must for contact and collision sports such as rugby league, rugby union, AFL, hockey, boxing and martial arts. They are also worth wearing for soccer, netball, basketball, cricket, skateboarding and BMX, where a stray ball, elbow or fall can easily damage teeth.
