Perfect Smile Dental Surgery will take an impression is made of your teeth and a mouth guard is then moulded over the model using a special material. Due to the use of the special material and because of the extra time and work involved, this custom made mouth guard is more expensive than the other types, but it provides the most comfort and best fit and protection.
Alternatively if you feel comfortable enough in moulding your own mouth guard you can do so online at www.impactgumshields.com by ordering a self impression kit, mould an impression of your teeth and return to Impact Gum Shields and await the delivery of your gum shield. Prices begin at €50.00 for one or two colour gum shields.
