Sports Mouthguards Sydney
A custom-fitted sports mouthguard is a protective dental appliance designed to reduce the risk of injury to the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw during sporting activity. At Hyde Park Dental Care, mouthguards are fabricated from individual impressions to ensure accurate fit, comfort, and appropriate protection.
What Is a Sports Mouthguard?
A sports mouthguard is a custom-made protective appliance worn over the upper teeth to absorb and distribute impact forces during contact or collision sports. A dental professional takes an accurate scan or impression of your teeth to fabricate an appliance that contours precisely to the individual's dentition, providing shock absorption and reliable protection that store-bought and boil-and-bite options cannot replicate.
Custom-made mouthguards are recommended by the Australian Dental Association for patients involved in organised sport at any level, from junior community activities through to professional athletes. A properly fitted mouthguard stays in place during physical activity, allows easy breathing, and helps protect the teeth and jaw throughout the sporting season.
Signs You May Need a Sports Mouthguard
You may benefit from a custom sports mouthguard if you:
Participate in contact sports such as rugby, AFL, boxing, or hockey
​Are involved in non-contact sports with a risk of collision or falls
​Have sustained a previous dental injury during sport or physical activity
Are a child or adolescent returning to sport after dental treatment
Wear orthodontic appliances during physical activity
Have an existing mouthguard that no longer fits correctly or is worn down
Are beginning a seasonal sport with no current mouthguard in use
Have received a dentist recommendation following a dental injury assessment
A consultation will help determine the right mouthguard specification for your sport, age group, and individual dental needs.
Benefits of a Custom Sports Mouthguard
Precise Custom Fit
Fabricated from an accurate impression of your teeth, the appliance contours precisely to the individual's dentition for consistent retention and comfort throughout activity.​
​
Protects Teeth, Gums, and Jaw
Designed to cushion blows and distribute impact forces across the appliance, reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw fractures, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage during contact sport.

Compatible with Orthodontic Appliances
Custom-fitted guards can be fabricated to accommodate existing dental work and orthodontic appliances, providing appropriate protection without compromising the ongoing treatment plan.
Durable and Easy
to Maintain
Laboratory-fabricated using materials selected for durability and consistent performance, with straightforward cleaning and storage requirements across the full sporting season.

Step 2: Impressions or Digital Scan
An accurate impression or digital scan of the teeth is taken to ensure the mouthguard is custom-made to fit the patient's precise dentition for a comfortable and well-retained fit.
Step 3: Laboratory Fabrication and Fitting
The customised sports mouthguard is fabricated by a dental laboratory. A fitting appointment confirms the guard fits correctly, stays in place, and allows easy breathing during activity.
Step 4: Care Instructions and Replacement Guidance
Detailed guidance on cleaning, storage, and ongoing care is provided at the fitting appointment, along with advice on when to consider replacing the appliance based on wear or changes to the dentition.
Step 1: Dental Assessment
The teeth, bite, and existing dental work are reviewed. Sport type and level of contact are discussed to determine the appropriate mouthguard specification and material thickness for the patient's dental needs.
How Much Does a Sports Mouthguard Cost in Sydney?
The cost of a custom sports mouthguard varies depending on the materials used, the thickness specification, and whether the mouthguard is being made for a child or an adult. The cost will range between $250-$450. A clear, itemised quote is provided following the impression appointment so patients understand the expected investment before the appliance is fabricated.
Hyde Park Dental Care is centrally located in Sydney CBD, with transparent fee communication at every stage of care. Some health funds provide a rebate for custom mouthguards under general dental benefits, and the team can confirm applicable cover at the time of consultation for patients across Sydney NSW and surrounding areas including the Inner West.
