Sports Mouthguards for Children and Adults
If you or your child play contact sports, a custom-fit mouthguard is essential. Sports mouthguards can protect both your teeth and jaw from blunt force trauma, saving you from a lengthy and painful recovery. At HDPL, we make moulded mouthguards for sports enthusiasts across Waikato, NZ.

Custom-fitted Sports Mouthguards
Sports and exercise are essential for healthy living, but they’re also the cause of many dental injuries. That’s why investing in a quality custom-made sports mouthguard is imperative for athletes and amatuers alike.
Why Tailor-made?
While store-bought mouthguards might seem like the most economical option, they’re not the safest one. Custom-made sports guards, on the other hand, are durable, offer more protection, and are moulded to fit the wearer’s bite. At Hamilton Dental & Prosthetics Lab, we offer custom-fitted mouthguards designed to shield your teeth during high-impact sports, whatever they may be.
Let Us Mould Your Mouthguard
Prosthetic dental care is what we do, and we have had years of experiencing perfecting the craft. We couple the latest techniques and technology with high quality moulding materials to ensure your mouth stays protected even in the roughest of play.
Moulding a mouthguard will take around 1-2 weeks, though, so be sure to visit us well before your sports season starts so we can ensure a perfect and safe fit.
We custom-make mouthguards for all sports, including:
Basketball
Boxing
Hockey
Rugby
Martial arts
Skateboarding and BMX
Rollerderby
Gymnastics
Track and field
Skiing
Squash
When to Wear Your Sports Mouthguard
Accidents happen, especially during heavy contact sports like boxing or rugby. For optimal protection during play, you should wear your mouthguard during practice and competition. Doing so will significantly lessen your chances of incurring a dental injury.
