Custom Mouthguards in Seaford Heights
Playing sport or waking up with jaw tension, headaches or worn teeth?
We provide custom-fitted mouthguards designed to help protect teeth and support jaw comfort,.
What Are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are protective dental appliances worn over the teeth. They’re commonly used for contact sports to help reduce the risk of dental injuries. Some mouthguards may also be recommended for tooth grinding or clenching (bruxism), depending on individual factors.
At Accolade Dental, we assess your teeth, bite and needs before recommending the most suitable type of mouthguard. Your mouthguard is custom-made to fit comfortably and stay secure.
Important: A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability. Outcomes vary between individuals.

Accurate Impressions or Digital Scans
We take impressions or digital scans to create a precise model of your teeth. This helps your mouthguard fit securely and feel comfortable.

Why Custom Mouthguards Are Worth It?
Store bought mouthguards can feel bulky, move around, or make it hard to breathe or speak clearly. A custom mouthguard is made from your impressions or digital scans, so it fits more securely and comfortably.
A better fit can make it easier to wear consistently, and consistent wear is often key to getting the protection you’re after. We’ll also check the bite and edges carefully so it feels smooth and stable, not irritating.
Care, Cleaning and Replacement
To help your mouthguard last and stay hygienic: rinse after use, brush gently, and store it dry in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water or leaving it in a hot car, as heat can distort the material.
Replacement timing depends on wear and fit changes. Children and teenagers may need replacements more often due to growth. Bring your mouthguard to check-ups so we can confirm the fit and condition.
