Custom Sports mouthguards
A custom sports mouthguard is essential for protecting the mouth from injury while playing sport. Over the counter “boil and bite” mouthguards offer little protection and are often ill-fitting and uncomfortable. Especially with kids it can be very hard to get them hot enough to form without burning your child’s mouth!
At KDSC our Dental Prosthetist, Tim, has tricks up his sleeve to make impressions as quick and comfortable as possible. Appointments usually only take 5 minutes, and we have a wide selection of colours and Footy club colours to choose from. Our dental technician often has your mouthguard made within a day or two and will be waiting for you at reception.
If you find your new mouthguard is uncomfortable it can be adjusted while you wait.
Denture Services
The onsite lab really comes into play here. In addition to new dentures, our Dental Prosthetist Tim can offer many denture services that prevent the need for you to be without your denture for more than a few hours. This includes same day Denture Relines, Soft Liners, Repairs, Additions and Cleaning. If your denture suddenly breaks or you need an extracted tooth added to it, we’ll be there to help and get you back in action as soon as possible.
Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints help to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding or clenching. Unfortunately this subconscious action called bruxism usually occurs while we’re fast asleep – the only way to save your teeth from being ground down or worn away is to wear one of these night guards. Your dentist will pick up on the signs of tooth grinding if they are evident and discuss with you whether or not an occlusal splint might be the right step to take.
If you proceed with having one made, the good news is that it will be made right here in Kilmore from our onsite lab. Our lab technician Arif works closely with our dentists to deliver these splints in quick time making sure your teeth are protected as soon as possible.
