Custom Mouth Guards in Croydon
Protecting Your Smile, Built Right Here in Croydon Dental Clinic
At Croydon Dental Clinic, we offer something that most dental practices in Croydon simply cannot: fully custom mouth guards and sports guards designed, scanned, and manufactured entirely in-house, ready within one business day.
Whether you are a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, a martial artist, or someone who grinds their teeth at night, we have a guard built for your needs, your budget, and your mouth — not an off-the-shelf approximation of one.
Our in-house laboratory is equipped with an iTero intraoral scanner and a professional 3D printer, allowing us to capture a precise digital impression of your teeth and produce a model of exceptional accuracy without the need for messy traditional impressions. That printed model is yours to keep — it is included in the cost of your mouth guard.
Our Mouth Guard Range and Pricing
We offer a range of guards to suit different needs and age groups, and our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. The iTero scan, 3D-printed model, and fitting appointment are all included in the price listed below.
- For children, our 3mm guard is priced at $149.
- For adults, our standard 4mm guard is $169.
- For contact and combat sports requiring heavier protection, our 5-6mm guard is $249.
- For patients who want a fully personalised guard featuring their name, team colours, a custom design, or a logo, our custom designed guard is $299.
Many private health insurance policies include cover for custom mouth guards. We recommend checking your policy details before your appointment, and our team is happy to assist with on-the-spot health fund claims via HICAPS. If your insurance covers the guard, your out-of-pocket cost may be significantly reduced or eliminated entirely.
Why a Custom Mouth Guard Matters
Not all mouth guards are created equal. The generic, boil-and-bite guards available at pharmacies offer minimal protection because they do not fit the specific contours of your teeth and jaw. A guard that does not fit properly will shift during impact, provide uneven protection, and is far more likely to be left in the bag than worn consistently. A properly fitted custom guard, by contrast, stays in place, allows normal speech and breathing, and provides genuine, clinically meaningful protection against dental trauma, jaw injury, and the effects of grinding.
At Croydon Dental Clinic, every guard we produce is made from the precise digital scan of your own teeth — which means the fit is accurate down to the millimetre. A fitting appointment is included in your care, where we check the guard against your bite, smooth any edges, and ensure you are completely comfortable before you leave. We do not consider the job done until the guard feels as natural as it possibly can.
Our Connection to the Croydon Sporting Community
Croydon Dental Clinic was founded in part through a connection to the local martial arts community, and protecting athletes is something we care about deeply. We are proud to work alongside the coaches and senseis at Bear Cave Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kando Martial Arts, and we have extended a standing offer of complimentary mouth guards to all instructors — because we believe the people who teach contact sports should model the habits that keep their students safe.
With a combined student base of three to four thousand athletes across these clubs alone, we understand the scale of the need for properly fitted sports protection in this community. We are actively working with coaches and club leaders to make quality, custom-fitted sports guards accessible to students, their families, and the wider sporting community in Croydon and beyond. If you train in any contact sport — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, boxing, rugby, AFL, hockey, or otherwise — we would welcome the opportunity to protect your smile.
Splints and Night Guards
Beyond sports protection, we also produce custom occlusal splints for patients who grind or clench their teeth, a condition known as bruxism. Night grinding is far more common than most people realise, and the damage it causes — worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, and headaches — accumulates silently over time. A custom-fitted night splint provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep, preventing further wear and reducing the muscular tension associated with clenching. Like our sports guards, our splints are produced entirely in-house for a precise, comfortable fit.
If you have been told you grind your teeth, or if you wake regularly with jaw soreness or headaches, speak to our team at your next appointment. A splint may be one of the simplest and most cost-effective investments you can make in the longevity of your natural teeth.
