Sports Mouth Guard in Keighley

Action on the field can cause unexpected accidents.

Whether you or your child is scoring goals on the football field, tackling opponents in rugby, or mastering skills in any contact sport, our custom-made sports mouth guards in Keighley, are designed to provide the ultimate defence against dental injuries.

Understanding sports mouth guards

Sports mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent dental injuries during physical activities and sports. They are specifically advised for contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing, but can also be beneficial for any activity where there’s a risk of impact to the face.

They are removable, easy to clean, and manufactured using advanced technology to ensure precise design. This combination of quality and innovation enhances both protection and performance, giving athletes the confidence to give their best.

Types of sports mouth guards

There are several types of sports mouth guards to choose from:

Stock mouth guards: Are pre-formed and ready to wear. You can buy them from routine sporting goods stores. While they’re affordable, they are not customised for your mouth. You may find them bulky and don’t always fit well.

The benefits of mouth guards in sports

The benefits of a mouth guard in sports go far beyond simply guarding teeth during physical activities. Let us see how:

Protection against contact sports injuries

Sports mouthguards minimise the risk of dental trauma. They prevent chipped or fractured teeth, as well as injuries to the jaw, lips, and tongue, by absorbing and redistributing the forces from facial impacts. As a protective barrier, it reduces the likelihood of emergencies but also helps athletes avoid costly and complex dental procedures later.

Boost in performance

Sports mouthguards can indirectly enhance athletic performance. It makes you feel confident, not worry about getting hurt and fully focus on the game. This allows you to perform at your best.

Tailored fit for maximum comfort

Custom-made sports mouthguards are designed to fit perfectly and are comfortable, stable and durable. Unlike generic options, custom mouthguards minimise disruption to breathing during intense play and speaking, so you can communicate with teammates easily.

Preserving oral health

Regular use of a sports mouthguard helps ensure long-term oral health by protecting teeth from sports-related impacts. It reduces the risk of permanent dental problems, such as nerve damage, tooth sensitivity, and enamel wear.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to make a custom sports mouth guards?

The process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, we make impressions of your teeth. The dental lab then creates the custom mouth guard, typically within 1-2 weeks. At the second visit, we ensure it fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments.

Can my child wear a mouth guard with braces?

Yes, wearing a mouth guard is especially important for children with braces to protect both their teeth and the orthodontic braces. We can create custom-fitted mouth guards that accommodate the braces, providing the necessary protection and comfort.

How to clean the sports mouth guard?

Rinse the sports mouth guards after use, brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush and use mild toothpaste daily. Soak weekly in a cleaning solution; rinse thoroughly. Store in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water and harsh cleaners.

Customising sports mouth guards for nervous patients

Customising sports mouthguards for nervous patients demands a gentle and patient approach. Here’s how we at Taylored Dental Care do it:

Making moulds and impressions easily: We show the patient the materials and tools that we will use for the process. In case you have an exaggerated gag reflex or feel nauseous with the material we offer 3D digital scans and a completely digital workflow for you. We are happy to demonstrate the process on a non-dental object to show how the impression process will feel.
Comfort checks: During the fitting, we frequently check in with the patient to ensure the mouth guard feels comfortable and make any necessary adjustments.
Follow-up: Offer a follow-up appointment to check on the fit and comfort of the sports mouth guard, and to address any further concerns.

Give your game the best without worrying about breaking teeth. Contact us at Taylored Dental Care to schedule your consultation for sports mouthguards today.

Had a back tooth out, Graham is amazing so caring and kind throughout, what I liked is the time they took nothing too much trouble.Also the assistant was really lovely so reassuring and calming as it is a scary experience for most people.Would certainly recommend to anyone 😍

From my first contact with Taylored Dental Care Keighley I was made to feel completely at ease. So much so following my initial treatments under sedation with Graham I have had two visits to Sarah and not felt anxious at all either in the waiting room or in the surgery. This in itself is huge for me! I have seen Matt for several appointments and I cannot recommend him enough he is an absolute professional and puts you at ease immediately you enter the room. I would highly recommend Taylored Dental Care and only wish I’d found them sooner.

Since coming to the practice 6 months ago after many years of not visiting a dentist I can not praise too highly the care I have receivedTo say I was very afraid is putting it mildly. But from my first contact with Jssmine and seeing Graham for the first time I was met with nothing but care concern and a desire to help. There was no judgement at all. Graham was professional,caring and wonderful at explaining the process.Treatment with Sarah was easy. She's amazing at making you feel calm and in control as she checks you are OK regularlyMatt was wonderful kind and caring making me feel at ease His work is amazing. Never thought dentures could look so natural and these are only the temporary ones.Reception staff were friendly and welcoming and put me at my ease.I have a way to go with my treatment but with this wonderful team I know I will get thereThank you all you have changed my life

I am terrified of dentist but i had to go! To say Roy & Ellie Mae were patient would be an understatement! They kept me calm and even took my wisdom tooth out there a then! Fabulous team and even better it was totally pain free putting my faith back into going to the dentist again! Thank you guys!

It has been 30 yrs since my Dad had been to the dentist and now aged 91 I must admit I was quite apprehensive about how he would cope. From my first initial enquiry on the phone to the last review visit he has received excellent care. All the staff have been so helpful , kind and understanding. He is now the proud owner of a beaming smile something he hadn't been able to do for years. His new dentures are perfect and he has been so pleased with the service he has received. He wished he had done it years ago. A big thank you to all the staff especially to Matt for his attention to detail and professional approach.

Fabulous dentist!All the staff are wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. Abby and Charlotte in reception, who are amazing at keeping me calm before any appointment.Graham is just the best dentist ever. He is so calm and patient. From my very first appointment when I could barely go in the room let alone sit in the chair, Graham and Louise allowed me to go at my own pace, making sure I was ok and comfortable at all times. Graham suggested I use their fidget toys, this helped massively to distract me and focus my mind on something else. I also play music through earphones to calm me.Graham, Sarah and Louise have never judged or made me feel silly about being so terrified, even when I’ve burst into tears during my appointment. This has happened with previous dentists which meant I avoided going for years. All my appointments were made to accommodate my anxiety and I know when it gets too much I can stop and have a break before continuing. My appointments with Sarah were exactly the same, she is so calming and constantly checking and reassuring me.As someone who was completely terrified at the thought of going to the dentist to the point of not sleeping for days before appointments, I cannot speak highly enough of this dental practice. I now feel calmer about going and although I am still anxious it’s definitely easier to go to my appointments now.

After a lifetime of dreading dental appointments everyone at Taylored Dental Care put your mind at rest. No more worries!!. Visited the Keighley branch yesterday for hygiene appointment. Just lovely people. Able to relax totally. Thanks to all. Very caring staff. My teeth really looked after. Clean and shiny.Ruth Hill.

I have had a year's worth of dental treatment at Taylored, Keighley including 14 fillings and 2 crowns culminating in getting a denture to replace 3 gaps. I did start going to Taylored with some anxiety about pain, having had a bad experience with an NHS dentist who drilled when I wasn't properly numb. I was so relieved when every visit was pain-free. Graham and his team are like a family that welcomes you back each time you visit, and makes sure you feel comfortable and safe.

The whole experience with Taylored Dental was a good one, really friendly reception staff, great communcation throughout. The dental technition was friendly, helped me relax, was totally inclusive and receptive to my needs. Overall a great experience and i will not hesitate to return and i recommend the practice highly.

I chose to use Taylored Dental Services because I have tendency to pass out after injections. Other dentists in the past don’t seem to have been sensitive or sympathetic to this reaction. TDS certainly were when I needed a tooth extraction last Friday.Graham and his dental assistant looked after me wonderfully when I started to feel faint giving me time to recover, a sugary drink a cooling fan and lots of supportive gentle conversation.I’m happy to return to discuss all the other problems that about 20years of avoiding dentists has resulted in.As a bonus the tooth fairy was very generous !

Myself and my family have been patients at Taylored Dental Care, for several years and have always found Graham and his staff to be completely professional. They always treat us with kindness and compassion and nothing is too much trouble. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

The recent removal of one of my back teeth was a truly pain free experience expertly managed by Graham. Since becoming a regular client I have had various procedures carried out, all with the same calm and reassuring manner that instills absolute confidence and minimises any very slight discomfort. I have found that since my move to Taylored, my general oral health has improved significantly, including the condition of my gums, which has never been as good in all my seventy-three years. The whole team in surgery and reception are friendly and professional, and visits to the dentist have become a routine and completely stress free experience. The welcome is warm and genuine from people who clearly care.

Having been a patient of Grahams for many years I can highly recommend Taylored Dental. I walked in a very nervous patient and have had continuous reassurance from both the reception staff, Graham and the nursing staff. I no longer feel the dread of going to the dentist as I know I will be well looked after.

Just traveled 15 miles to visit this Dentist as I am a total wreck when it comes to dentist's I saw this practice advertised on Facebook and plucked up the courage to go. I have to say that my treatment was spot on with almost 0 pain and the smallest bit of discomfort. I am confident that I will be following on with my treatment. The staff the actual dentist that treated me really put me at ease would 100% recommend . Many thanks

I was really nervous going in, but Dr. Graham was amazing and immediately put me at ease. The procedure was carried out with such care and professionalism, and I’m so grateful to now be pain free 😌 Highly recommend!

I have recently only joined Taylored Dental Care after being unhappy with my previous dentist and it was the best move I have made. Unfortunately I needed a tooth removing and I was extremely nervous as I do not do very well with anything surgical. I really didn't need to worry as Graham and his team did a fantastic job from start to finish, I didn't feel a thing, even the needle didn't bother me which was a first. The friendliness of the staff at this practice is fantastic and very welcome after previous encounters with other dentists that I have had. If you are thinking of trying them out or changing to Taylored Dental then my advice would be to do it at your earliest opportunity. I should have done it months ago!!

Komal Hussain

18:23 02 Oct 25

I had a tooth extracted with Dr Graham recently. The procedure itself was smooth and the staff were professional and friendly. However I did experience an electric shock kinda feeling which was due to the needle hitting a nerve. This did cause some discomfort but Dr Graham was very attentive and provided helpful advice. Overall I appreciate the level of care delivered throughout.Hopefully it’ll be back to normal soon, thank you
