Athletic protection

Sport Guards

Custom-fitted mouthguards that protect your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues during contact and collision sports — built to fit your mouth precisely, not a generic shelf size.

Protection that actually stays in place

Stock mouthguards and boil-and-bite guards from sporting goods stores offer minimal protection because they do not fit the contours of your individual teeth and jaw. A loose guard shifts during impact, provides uneven force distribution, and is uncomfortable enough that many athletes simply stop wearing it.

At Comfy Denture & Hearing Clinic, we fabricate custom sport guards from impressions of your teeth. The result is a guard that fits securely, stays in place during contact, allows normal breathing and communication, and provides significantly better shock absorption than any over-the-counter alternative.

Why a custom sport guard makes a difference

Superior fit & retention

Fabricated from impressions of your exact teeth, a custom guard stays firmly in place during impact — no shifting, no repositioning between plays.

Better shock absorption

Custom guards use thicker, higher-grade materials calibrated to your bite, distributing impact forces more effectively than thin stock alternatives.

Protects teeth and jaw joints

A well-fitted guard cushions not just the teeth but also the temporomandibular joints, reducing the risk of jaw fractures and concussion-related forces.

Comfortable enough to wear consistently

Athletes are far more likely to wear a guard that fits comfortably and does not interfere with breathing or communication — which is the only guard that actually protects you.

Durable construction

Custom sport guards are made from medical-grade ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or laminated materials that withstand repeated high-impact use season after season.

Available in custom colours

Choose colours to match your team uniform or personal preference — custom guards can be made in single colours, two-tone, or with team logos.

Who needs a sport guard?

Any sport involving contact, collision, or the risk of a fall puts your teeth and jaw at risk. A custom guard is recommended for:

Contact sports

Football, rugby, hockey, lacrosse, and martial arts — sports with direct player-to-player contact where dental injuries are most common.

Collision sports

Basketball, soccer, and baseball involve frequent accidental collisions and errant equipment that can cause significant dental trauma.

Extreme & action sports

Skateboarding, BMX, mountain biking, and snowboarding carry a high risk of falls and impacts to the face and jaw.

Combat sports

Boxing, MMA, wrestling, and kickboxing require robust oral protection as a mandatory part of competition equipment.

Impressions

Precise impressions of your upper and lower arches are taken. These ensure the guard fits your teeth exactly and does not shift during use.

You choose your preferred material thickness and colour or colour combination. We guide you toward the right specification for your sport and level of contact.

04

Custom fabrication

Your guard is fabricated in our laboratory from medical-grade EVA, pressure-laminated to the exact contours of your teeth for a precise, retentive fit.

05
