Custom Mouth Guards & Gum Shields in Castleford

Unlike over-the-counter options, our professionally fitted gum shields are tailored to your teeth and bite. This ensures a snug, secure fit that not only protects your teeth but also helps reduce the risk of jaw injuries and concussions. Airedale Dental Practice is proud to help patients of all ages stay safe while playing the sports they love.

Why Do You Need a Sportsguard?

Contact sports carry a high risk of dental injuries. A custom mouth guard provides essential protection against:

• Knocked-out or fractured teeth
• Soft tissue injuries to lips, cheeks, and tongue
• Jaw fractures or dislocations
• Concussions linked to heavy impacts

A well-fitting gum shield gives you confidence to play hard while safeguarding your smile.

Your sportsguard journey at Airedale Dental Practice is simple and straightforward:

• Consultation: We’ll discuss your sporting activities and specific protection needs.
• Impressions: Precise moulds of your teeth are taken for a perfect fit.
• Custom Fabrication: Your gum shield is crafted from durable, high-quality materials.
• Fitting & Adjustments: We check the fit and comfort, making any necessary refinements.

Benefits of Custom Mouth Guards

Who Should Wear a Mouth Guard?

Essentially, if there’s a risk of impact to the face, a sportsguard is a wise investment in protecting your teeth.
