Custom-fitted mouthguards at Coastal Dental — designed to protect, fit perfectly, and ensure comfort whether you're on the field or fast asleep.
From accidental bumps in a casual game of basketball to nighttime grinding that stresses the jaw, our teeth and oral structures are exposed to multiple challenges daily. At Coastal Dental, nestled in the heart of Gosford and the Central Coast communities, we are steadfast advocates of proactive oral protection.
We offer customised mouthguard services designed to fit, protect, and ensure comfort — whether you're an athlete, a nighttime grinder, or seeking relief from TMJ symptoms. A well-fitted mouthguard is a simple yet transformative solution.
Every mouthguard we make is custom-crafted for your individual teeth and situation — never a one-size-fits-all solution.
Designed specifically for those engaged in contact sports or recreational activities where there's a risk of injury to the mouth. They shield against broken teeth, cut lips, and other potential injuries — ensuring our athletes, both budding and seasoned, are fully safeguarded.
For those who grind their teeth at night — a condition called bruxism — night guards act as a protective layer between the top and bottom teeth, preventing wear, damage, enamel loss, and the accompanying jaw pain and headaches.
Patients suffering from temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) can benefit significantly from these guards, which help alleviate symptoms by ensuring a comfortable jaw position, reducing muscle strain, and relieving associated headaches and facial pain.
Also known as mandibular advancement splints, these appliances gently hold the lower jaw forward during sleep to help keep the airway open. They're a comfortable, non-invasive option for snoring and diagnosed mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea — and an alternative for patients who find CPAP difficult to tolerate. We work from your sleep physician's diagnosis to fit an appliance tailored to you.
While one-size-fits-all mouthguards are available in stores, they simply can't match the protection and comfort of a custom-fitted appliance. At Coastal Dental, every mouthguard is made specifically for your teeth — and it shows in the fit, the feel, and the results.
Mouthguards are protective devices that cover the teeth and gums to prevent or reduce injury. A well-fitted mouthguard is an essential piece of athletic gear for those involved in sports, but its utility extends far beyond just sport.
From teeth grinding to disorders like TMJ, a mouthguard can be a simple yet genuinely transformative solution that protects your teeth, preserves your sleep, and saves you from costly dental repairs.
Every mouthguard at Coastal Dental follows a precise 4-step process — from your first consultation to a perfect, custom fit.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your needs — whether they're sports-related, bruxism-related, or TMJ-related. We tailor our approach from the very start.
Using advanced techniques, we take precise impressions of your teeth — ensuring the mouthguard will fit like a glove, with no gaps, no slipping, and no discomfort during wear.
Your mouthguard is crafted to exact specifications using premium materials — ensuring the ideal balance between comfort, durability, and protection.
Once ready, we'll have a fitting session. Minor adjustments, if needed, are made on the spot to guarantee a perfect fit and optimal protection before you leave the chair.
In a world of unforeseen accidents and subconscious habits, a mouthguard is a shield — a protective companion in sports arenas and the serenity of night. At Coastal Dental, our commitment is to offer this shield to the Gosford and Central Coast communities, merging precision, care, and expertise.

Consider preventative dentistry as an investment in your future. By taking proactive measures today, you're ensuring a healthier, brighter smile in the years to come.
Whether you're a long-time resident of Gosford and the Central Coast or new to our community, Coastal Dental invites you to join our family and prioritise your oral health. With our comprehensive preventative offerings, we're not just treating teeth — we're preserving smiles, one patient at a time.
After every use, rinse your mouthguard with cool water or a mouthrinse. Occasionally, clean it with mild soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Never use hot water — it can warp the material and ruin the fit.
Always store your mouthguard in a sturdy, ventilated container to keep it dry and bacteria-free. Never leave it in direct sunlight or in a closed car — heat is your mouthguard's worst enemy.
Bring your mouthguard to your dental check-ups. We'll inspect it for wear, cracks, and fit — and ensure it's still offering optimal protection. Children's guards in particular need regular assessment as their teeth continue to develop.
Protecting your smile is always worth the effort. Whether you're a sports enthusiast, a nighttime teeth grinder, or seeking relief from TMJ symptoms, Coastal Dental is here to guide and assist.
