Store-Bought Guards Don't Protect Like a Custom One

A custom-fitted sports guard from Richmond Dental Care provides significantly better impact protection and is comfortable enough to actually wear every game — one short appointment is all it takes.

What Sports Mouth Guards Is

What Sports Mouth Guards Is

A professionally fitted oral appliance made from dental-grade materials that cushions and protects the teeth, lips, gums, and jaw during physical activity and contact sports.

Precision Fit for Your Anatomy

Made from an exact impression of your teeth — no bulk, no gagging, and no slipping during play.

Superior Impact Protection

Custom guards absorb and distribute impact forces far more effectively than boil-and-bite alternatives.

Comfortable Enough to Actually Wear

Athletes wear guards when they're comfortable. An uncomfortable guard ends up in the bag.

Choose from a range of colours — we can match your school or team colours.
