Sports Mouthguards

Whatever sport is your game of choice, whether you play professionally, competitively, or just for fun, you still play to win. But at what cost? Is victory worth costing your winning smile? Because it doesn’t have to be.

Making the sensible decision to wear a mouthguard will allow you to focus on the game at hand and help you be a winner both on and off the pitch.

Choose the right mouthguard, and rest assured that your teeth are less likely to be chipped, broken, moved or knocked out.

At the same time, it provides a protective cushion to your lips, cheeks, and tongue. A correctly fitted mouthguard will offer valuable support for the jaw joints and added protection to those wearing braces or dental implants, reducing the risk of displacement or damage.

At SmilePlus Dental Care & Implant Centre, we’ve seen all too often the short-term and long-term damage that sporting injuries can cause. Injuries that are not only painful but can affect speech and knock confidence. Knowing there was a need for better protection, we developed GRIT Mouthguards.

Unlike over-the-counter or boil-and-bite gumshields, GRIT Mouthguards are custom-fitted, ensuring a superior fit with increased protection, protecting your teeth from damage and your mouth’s soft tissue from injury without compromising your speech or ability to breathe.

How does it work?

Dental impressions or digital scans are taken at Clyde Munro’s Edinburgh practice, SmilePlus Dental Care & Implant Centre. A model of your mouth is then produced in our dental laboratory, and a perfectly fitted mouthguard is fabricated, offering optimum protection of your teeth, while also being far less likely to shift or be knocked out during an impact.

Trusted by professional athletes and players at the top of their game for over a decade, we are proud to be the Official Supplier of Mouthguards to the Scottish Rugby Union and Edinburgh Rugby since 2009. We also supplied Team Scotland hockey players and boxers for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and continue to supply bespoke mouthguards to International athletes.

For orders of ten or more, we can visit your club or school to carry out dental impressions. We can even incorporate team colours and logos into the finished mouthguard (prices available on request).
