A custom mouthguard is essential for protecting your mouth when playing contact sports. Not only do they brace your teeth, but they also protect your lips, cheeks, and even your neck from unexpected injuries. A custom fit mouthguard will be correctly fitted to your mouth, allowing for protection against dental trauma, tooth chipping, jaw fractures or injuries, and long-term dental problems. A correctly fitted sports mouthguard may also help to prevent concussion in the event of a head injury, too.
Whether you’re playing a social game or at a professional level, our dental mouthguards are made for ultimate protection. We make AFL mouthguards, NRL mouthguards, hockey mouthguards, martial arts mouthguards, boxing mouthguards, and more. These custom sports mouthguards are made from TGA-approved materials, and are designed to last.

Our fitted mouthguards are perfect for kids sports. Both adult and baby teeth need protecting against trauma, and a custom fit mouthguard is a great way of providing this protection.

They can even customise their sports mouthguard and choose the colour they want!
An occlusal splint is similar to a custom mouthguard. It’s created to protect teeth from the clenching and grinding that can happen while you sleep. Regularly grinding or clenching your teeth can lead to cracked, worn, or damaged teeth that require restoration. Grinding and clenching may also give you a sore neck, sore jaw, or a headache. An occlusal splint is a slim, hard acrylic guard that’s custom fitted to your upper jaw, covering the biting surfaces of your upper teeth. Wearing a splint can be a good option for some patients, as it can help them stop nighttime grinding and clenching. This preventative care means they can avoid the need for more costly, restorative procedures later on.
The custom mouthguards we create at Be Dental are made using technologically-advanced 3D scans. We use the Itero and Primescan scanners which are the benchmark for premier dentists, scanning quickly. This eliminates the need for messy and slow physical moulds that must be kept in the mouth as they set. Instead, you can sit back and relax as our Gold Coast dentists digitally scan your mouth to create a precise, custom fit mouthguard for you.
