Custom sports mouth guards at Precision Dental Clinic
A custom-fit gum shield from a dentist offers better protection during contact sports than an over-the-counter boil-and-bite guard. At Precision Dental Clinic, we create high-quality, durable sports mouth guards that fit perfectly, absorb impact more effectively, and don’t impede your breathing during a game.
As a dental practice at the heart of our sporting community, we are proud to help protect the smiles of local athletes.
What is a sports mouth guard?
A mouth guard for sports, also known as a gum shield, is a protective appliance worn over your teeth during physical activity to prevent dental injuries. Unlike a night guard, which is designed to protect against the gentle forces of teeth grinding, a sports mouth guard is made from a thicker material that’s designed to absorb the shock of a direct impact from a ball, stick, or collision.
How much does a gum shield cost?
You can see a guide to the cost of a custom-fitted gum shield on our pricing page. Investing in a professional sports mouth guard will help you to protect yourself from potentially serious and expensive dental injuries. Please contact our friendly team to find out more or to book your appointment.
What does sport guard treatment include?
Taking impressions
Your dentist will discuss the sports you play and their potential impact on your teeth, then take impressions for your gum shield.
Creating your custom guard
Your impressions will be turned into a precise mould, from which your custom-fitted mouth guard will be created out of durable plastic.
Wearing your gumshield
We will check the fit of your new mouth guard and show you how to wear it and care for it properly.

Do I need a gum shield?
A custom-fitted gum shield is essential for anyone, child or adult, who participates in contact sports or activities where there is a risk of injury to the face and mouth. This includes sports like rugby, football, hockey, martial arts, and boxing. It is the single most effective piece of protective equipment for preventing dental trauma.
