A custom-made mouthguard is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your teeth. Whether you play sport, clench or grind your teeth at night, or have dental work that needs extra protection, a well-fitted mouthguard can prevent chips, fractures, and long-term damage.
At The Point Dental, we design custom mouthguards in Melbourne that fit securely, feel comfortable, and provide the right level of cushioning based on your needs, from junior sports to high-impact adult sports, and splints for grinding and clenching.
A mouthguard is a fitted appliance that covers and protects your teeth and surrounding tissues. Unlike store-bought “boil and bite” versions, a custom mouthguard is designed from a digital scan of your teeth, giving you:
A snug, comfortable fit
Better shock absorption
Easier breathing and speaking
Stronger protection for the teeth, gums, and jaw
Custom mouthguards are recommended for:
Contact and high-impact sports
Teens and adults playing competitive sports
People who clench or grind their teeth at night
Patients with veneers, crowns, or cosmetic work needing protection
If you grind your teeth at night, you can learn more about symptoms and long-term effects in our night grinding guide.
For patients searching specifically for a custom mouthguard in Melbourne, our clinic offers tailored options designed to protect your smile with precision and comfort.
You may benefit from a mouthguard if you notice:
Sports & physical activity
Playing sports like football, basketball, martial arts, AFL, hockey, etc.
Previous dental injuries during sport
Wearing braces or having restored teeth that need protection
Grinding or clenching (bruxism)
Waking with jaw pain or stiffness
Flattened or chipped teeth
Headaches or temple soreness
Sensitivity from worn enamel
After cosmetic or restorative dental work
Veneers, crowns, or implants at risk of fracture
Increased clenching due to stress or new bite changes
Even if symptoms feel mild, a mouthguard can prevent bigger issues in the future.
A mouthguard is typically completed in two simple appointments.
Sports Mouthguards
Designed for impact protection, these mouthguards absorb force and help prevent tooth fractures, lip injuries, and jaw trauma. They’re ideal for children, teens, and adults in moderate to high-contact sports.
Night Splints (for Grinding & Clenching)
These protect your teeth from wear, cracks, and long-term damage caused by nighttime grinding. Depending on your grinding patterns, we design:
Soft nightguards for mild grinding
Dual-laminate guards for moderate grinding
Hard acrylic guards for severe clenching
Post-Restorative Protection
If you’ve had veneers, crowns, or large restorations, a custom guard helps protect your investment by reducing accidental chipping and uneven wear.
How Much Does a Mouthguard Cost?
Costs vary depending on whether the mouthguard is for sport, grinding, or special protection.
Your exact quote will be provided at your consultation. If you have private health insurance, part of the cost may be claimable under general dental or major dental, depending on the type of guard.
We also offer payment options for patients needing multiple guards (e.g., kids in several sports seasons).
