Splints and mouth guards are both appliances recommended by dentists to protect a patient’s teeth.
Night splint is commonly recommended for individuals who experience teeth grinding or clenching during sleep. These devices serve to protect teeth from excessive wear, fractures, and potential breakage. Bruxism, the condition characterized by grinding or clenching, can lead to discomfort in the jaw joints and may result in headache. Night splints are available in various designs, customized to accommodate an individual’s specific bite and preferences, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Mouth guards are recommended for people who participate in contact sports (AFL, Boxing, Hockey, Roller Derby, Rugby, League, Rugby Union, and Soccer) where accidents can easily occur and can damage one’s teeth. Mouth guards can come in a range of colors and designs
The first step to having a custom mouthguard created is to come in for an appointment. We will take moulds of your teeth so your mouthguard can fit perfectly to your bite and teeth.
You will also be able to pick any colour of your choice! Some people prefer multi-colour mouthguards, and others prefer white.
As soon as your mouthguard is ready, we will give you a call to come in and collect it. You will then be able to protect your smile during sports and play the game safely!
If you clench or grind your teeth (also known as bruxism), you may have painful headaches, an aching jaw, a worn-down bite or broken restorations. A custom-made night guard will protect your teeth and help your muscles to relax during sleep, protecting your dentition.

At Smile Creation, we have a preventative approach to dental care. That means protecting your smile during sports too! If your footy or rugby team require a mouthguard each, we will need to take individual impressions of each.
We ask you book an appointment for each player and we will take care of their smile with a customised sports mouthguard.
If you’re experiencing headaches and jaw pain, this is more than likely due to your teeth grinding. Most people who suffer this grind their teeth at nights. It can become worse during more stressful periods in your life.
We ask you book an appointment with Dr Sanjay so he can assess your bite and take X-rays if required. We will then be able to determine how to best treat you and create your nightguard to prevent further damage.
The good news is, you can! First, we will apply a dental bonding solution to your chipped tooth. This is a safe, non-toxic resin which looks just like your normal tooth colour.
Once the dental bonding is complete and cured, we will then take some impressions of your teeth to create your custom mouthguard. It’s important to wait until your dental bonding has completely cured. So, your appointment may take anywhere from 45-60 minutes.
