Chemist "boil-and-bite" guards are generic, loose-fitting, and offer minimal protection when you need it most. A custom mouthguard from Core Dental Glenferrie: - Is made from precise digital or physical impressions of your own teeth - Uses dual-laminate material to absorb and redirect impact force - Stays firmly in place — no shifting mid-game - Is low-profile and comfortable — easy to breathe and speak through - Can be made in your favourite team's colours - Starts from **** — far less than the cost of repairing dental trauma Knocked-out or fractured teeth can require crowns, implants, or orthodontic treatment. The cost of restoration far exceeds the cost of prevention. --- ## The Glenferrie Location Core Dental Glenferrie is Core Dental's first eastern suburbs location, purpose-built in a fully renovated 3-surgery clinic on Hawthorn's most prominent shopping strip, at the corner of **Glenferrie Road and Barkers Road**.
