Mouthguards in Darwin
Darwin Mouthguards
At Parap Family Dental in Darwin, we design custom mouthguards to protect teeth and jaws during high-impact activity. Off-the-shelf options rarely offer the same fit or reliability, which can lead to compromised protection and increased injury risk. Our custom-fitted mouthguards are created using detailed dental impressions and clinical-grade materials to ensure they stay in place, feel comfortable, and allow you to breathe and speak with ease.
These appliances are especially important for children and adults involved in contact sports, where trauma to the mouth or jaw is a significant risk. We prioritise durability, fit, and long-term comfort, helping reduce the likelihood of dental injuries during training or games. Each mouthguard is reviewed for changes in oral development and can be remade as needed for growing patients to ensure continued effectiveness and protection. In addition to mouthguards, we also offer general dentistry, paediatric dental care and emergency dental services to support every stage of oral health.

What Custom Mouthguards Can Provide
A custom mouthguard helps provide greater coverage and protection than over-the-counter versions. At our practice, we customise every device to suit the individual’s sport, age and dental structure. This ensures not only comfort and fit, but also optimal function during high-impact activity.
A well-made mouthguard can significantly reduce the risk of dental trauma and jaw injury. Custom devices are especially important for patients with orthodontic appliances, missing teeth or jaw issues, offering more reliable protection where it’s needed most. We also provide guidance on when to replace a mouthguard and how to care for it between uses, supporting hygiene and long-term effectiveness.

When to Consider a Custom Mouthguard
Mouthguards are most effective when they’re made to suit your unique dental profile. We recommend a custom-fit mouthguard if you or your child participate in contact sports such as football, rugby, hockey, martial arts or basketball. They are also valuable in non-contact activities where falls or collisions may occur, including skateboarding, mountain biking and gymnastics.
Even if a previous mouthguard seemed to fit well, growth, dental work or orthodontic changes may affect how it performs. We assess these factors during regular check-ups and can advise on whether a new device is needed or whether an adjustment is appropriate for improved function and comfort.
Custom mouthguards are:
- Made from clinical-grade materials
- Designed to cushion teeth & absorb shock
- Less likely to dislodge or impede breathing
- Easier to clean & store safely
- Backed by expert support & maintenance advice
