Custom Mouth Guards
What is a mouth guard?
A mouth guard is a protective dental appliance worn over your teeth to reduce pressure, prevent injury, and protect your smile from damage.
At Melbourne Dental Studio, we provide custom mouth guards that are precisely fitted to your teeth. Unlike store-bought options, a custom fit mouth guard is designed to sit comfortably in your mouth, stay securely in place, and provide reliable protection where it’s needed most.
Mouth guards can serve several purposes. They are commonly used as a sports mouth guard to protect teeth during contact sports. They can also be used as a mouth guard for teeth grinding, helping reduce pressure on the teeth and jaw during sleep. In these cases, a bruxism night guard can help protect enamel from ongoing wear and may assist with symptoms such as jaw tension or headaches.
A professionally fitted dental mouth guard provides more comfortable, more reliable protection than over-the-counter options, helping reduce the risk of chipped teeth, fractures, worn enamel, or strain on the jaw joints.

Why choose Melbourne Dental Studio for your custom mouth guard
At Melbourne Dental Studio, we focus on creating custom mouth guards that fit precisely and perform reliably. Using modern scanning technology, we design a custom fit mouth guard tailored to the exact shape of your teeth and bite. As your trusted night guard dentist and sports mouth guard dentist, we aim to ensure your guard is comfortable, durable, and easy to wear — so you’re more likely to use it consistently and keep your teeth protected.
We invest in the latest technology to ensure your treatment is precise and less invasive. You’ll also get clear advice and upfront costs, so you know exactly where you stand. We believe great care is built on trust; clear communication, honest pricing, and a friendly, non-judgemental approach at every step.
Aftercare and maintenance for your custom mouth guard
Rinse your dental mouth guard with cool water after each use and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as this can distort the shape of a custom fit mouth guard. Should you experience a dental impact while playing sport, whether you were wearing the mouth guard or not, our emergency dentist is available to assess your mouth for trauma or damage.
Frequently asked questions about custom mouth guards
-
A custom mouth guard is designed specifically for your teeth and bite, which makes it more comfortable and secure than store-bought options. A custom fit mouth guard sits properly over your teeth, stays in place during use, and provides more reliable protection. This means better comfort when wearing it overnight or during sport, and more effective protection for your teeth and jaw.
-
A sports mouth guard is designed to absorb impact and protect teeth from injury during physical activity. It is typically thicker and built to cushion blows to the mouth or jaw.
A night guard — sometimes called a bruxism night guard or mouth guard for teeth grinding — is worn while sleeping. It helps protect the teeth from the pressure of grinding or clenching and may reduce strain that contributes to jaw discomfort.
-
The lifespan of a custom mouth guard depends on how often it is used and how well it is maintained. Many dental mouth guards last several years with proper care. Guards used for teeth grinding may wear down faster due to the constant pressure from clenching or grinding. Your dentist will check your teeth protection guard during routine visits and advise when replacement may be needed.
-
Yes. A mouth guard for teeth grinding is commonly recommended to protect the teeth from wear caused by bruxism. A bruxism night guard acts as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, helping reduce damage to enamel and dental restorations. It may also reduce pressure on the jaw muscles, which can help with symptoms such as jaw fatigue or morning headaches.
