Mouth & Sport Guards

Custom protection for teeth

Protect your teeth with comfortable, secure and durable guards for sports and physical activities.

A Little Bump Shouldn’t Cost You a Tooth

If you or your child plays contact sports or high-impact physical activities, one small collision can lead to chipped teeth, lost crowns, or even a knocked-out tooth. But it doesn’t have to.

At Passion Dental, we create high-quality, custom-fitted mouthguards that offer superior protection, comfort, and peace of mind. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent of one, or just someone who wants better dental protection during physical hobbies, we’re here to help you play it safe—literally.

Understanding Mouth & Sport Guards

What Are They, and Why Are They Important?

A custom mouthguard is a crucial piece of safety equipment, just like a helmet. It's a small investment that provides significant protection for what's most important—your health and smile.

- Dr. Mahum Sarfraz

Mouthguards are protective devices worn over your teeth during sports or activities where injury to the mouth is possible. While over-the-counter options exist, custom-made mouthguards offer significantly better protection, comfort, and durability.

A proper mouthguard cushions impact, redistributes force, and helps prevent serious injuries to the teeth, jaw, and soft tissues of the mouth.

Who Needs a Mouthguard?

Kids playing school sports like football, basketball, or hockey
Teens or adults doing martial arts, boxing, or rugby
Anyone participating in activities where falls or facial contact can occur
Adults with braces or dental restorations that require additional protection

Store-Bought vs. Custom Mouthguards

Over-the-counter boil-and-bite guards are quick and cheap, but they rarely offer a perfect fit. That can mean discomfort, difficulty breathing, or worse—insufficient protection. Our custom guards are made using precise dental impressions, ensuring a snug, breathable, and secure fit.

Durability That Keeps Up With You

Custom-fit guards from Passion Dental are built to last, easy to clean, and designed to handle wear and tear over time. You won’t have to keep replacing them every season like cheaper alternatives.

What to Expect

1. Initial Consultation & Dental Impressions

We start with a quick consultation to understand your needs. Then we take a digital or physical impression of your teeth for a perfect fit.

2. Lab-Crafted Guard, Tailored to You

Your mouthguard is designed in a professional dental lab using safe, high-impact materials. It will be shaped to your bite and aligned with your comfort.

The problem with generic guards is that a poor fit means poor protection. Our custom guards are digitally scanned to hug every tooth, ensuring maximum comfort and safety when it counts.

3. Fitting & Adjustments

Once your guard arrives, we check the fit, make any adjustments needed, and give you tips on use and care.

4. Ongoing Care

We recommend bringing your mouthguard to your regular checkups so we can make sure it still fits properly as your bite changes over time.

Common Questions & Concerns

Why not just buy one from the chemist or sports store?

Over-the-counter guards are one-size-fits-some. They often slip around or cause gagging, and they don’t offer the same level of protection as a properly fitted dental mouthguard.

Can children use custom mouthguards?

Absolutely. In fact, custom mouthguards are especially helpful for kids whose teeth are still developing and shifting. We’ll help refit them as needed.

What sports require a mouthguard?

We recommend mouthguards for all contact sports (e.g., football, rugby, martial arts) and even for activities like skateboarding or mountain biking where falls can happen.

Do mouthguards protect against concussions?

While no guard can eliminate the risk of concussion, a well-fitted mouthguard can absorb some impact and reduce the risk of jaw injuries, which may indirectly reduce the severity of head trauma.

Will it affect breathing or speaking?

Not at all. Custom mouthguards are designed to stay in place without interfering with speech or breathing. That’s a huge advantage over bulkier boil-and-bite models.

How long does it take to make one?

Usually 1–2 weeks from your initial impression to final fitting.

Can I get a mouthguard if I wear braces?

Yes, we create guards specifically designed for patients with braces to protect both your teeth and orthodontic work.

Do I need a new guard every year?

For children and teens, yes—their mouths change quickly. For adults, a well-maintained guard can last several years.

Is there a difference between night guards and sports mouthguards?

Yes. Night guards are thinner and designed to prevent grinding during sleep. Sports mouthguards are thicker, impact-resistant, and built for physical activity.

What if I lose it?

We keep your records on file, so we can reorder a new one without starting from scratch.

Payment & Financing Options

Custom mouthguards are affordable and often claimable via private health insurance under general dental. Passion Dental supports HICAPS for on-the-spot claims, making it fast and easy.

Need multiple guards for different kids or a replacement later in the season? Ask us about flexible payment options through Afterpay or Zip Pay. We make it easy to keep every smile protected without financial stress.
