Maybe the season starts soon and your child's boil-and-bite guard keeps falling out at training. Or you play yourself, and your guard makes it hard to talk or breathe. Custom sports mouthguards in Bannockburn VIC are made to fit your teeth, for footy, netball, hockey and other contact sports. We fit them on High Street as part of the general dentistry at our dental clinic, so there's no drive to Geelong.
When You Need a Sports Mouthguard
It's a good time to book a mouthguard if:
- you or your child play a sport where a ball, stick, elbow or fall can hit the mouth;
- the season is coming up and the old guard is loose, chewed or cracked;
- your child's adult teeth have come through since their last guard was made;
- a store-bought guard won't stay in without biting down;
- you have crowns, a bridge or other dental work you want to protect.
A mouthguard helps protect teeth, lips and gums from knocks, so wear it at training as well as games. It lowers the risk of a broken or knocked-out tooth, but it can't prevent every injury, and it doesn't prevent concussion. healthdirect explains how mouthguards protect teeth during sport. Book well before the season starts, so the guard is ready for the first game.
Our Sports Mouthguard Process
Here's how a custom mouthguard is made:
- Check. A dentist looks at your teeth and gums and asks about your sport. If something needs treating first, we'll tell you.
- Made to fit. The guard is made to fit the shape of your teeth.
- Fit. The dentist checks the fit and your bite, and adjusts it if needed.
A new guard can feel bulky for the first few sessions, and talking may feel different until you're used to it. If you also clench at night, ask about a night guard for clenching while you sleep, which is a different appliance.
Rinse your guard after each use, let it dry and store it in its case, away from hot cars and sun, as heat can change its shape.

Common Questions About Sports Mouthguards in Bannockburn
You'll find more questions about guards for contact sport on our FAQ page.
How much does a sports mouthguard cost in Bannockburn?
The cost of a sports mouthguard in Bannockburn depends on whether you need a check-up first, the type of guard and how many you need. We explain the fee before we start, and we claim on the spot with HICAPS for all health funds. Some extras policies pay towards mouthguards, so your fund can tell you what yours covers. Read about claiming a sports mouthguard on your health fund.
How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard in Bannockburn?
Getting a custom mouthguard in Bannockburn takes a little time, because each guard is made to fit your teeth. We'll tell you how long it takes when you book, so you can plan around the season. If the season starts soon, book early. You can see what to bring to your first appointment before you come.
Is a custom mouthguard better than a boil-and-bite one?
A custom mouthguard is made for your teeth, so it usually fits more closely than a boil-and-bite guard from a shop. A closer fit helps it stay in place, and it can make talking and breathing easier while you play. A store-bought guard is better than no guard at all. Bring your guard to a regular check-up and clean so your dentist can look at the fit.
How often do children in Bannockburn need a new mouthguard?
Children in Bannockburn may need a new mouthguard more often than adults, because their mouths change as adult teeth come through. A guard that no longer fits protects less, so bring it to your child's check-ups and we'll look at the fit. Replace any guard that is torn, cracked or loose.
