Black is probably the most unforgiving colour when showing blemishes, so it’s quite rewarding when you get a nice glossy finish with it.
Nothing out of the oridinary design-wise, but the simplicity works and helps demonstrate how clean it looks. Very satisfying.

We’re not hiding anything……
No rough surfaces, sharp edges or unsightly air bubbles.
A well finished appliance will be easier for the patient to care off. Reducing the chance of bacteria adhering to the surfaces will help maintain hygiene.

Great for teeth. Ears? You’re on your own…..

Up close and personal…..
Clean…..
No compromise…..

Years of learning different methods and techniques, getting things horribly wrong until we get it right, and trying different materials have got us to this level of finish today. The no compromise attitude towards doing it the best we can. A refusal to cut corners both in time taken to do it right, and not accepting sub standard materials allows us to offer this service to our clients.

Just what we like to see in a silicon or alginate sportsguard impression.
Defined margins, minimal drag around teeth, all required soft tissue captured including frenums.
All the above are vital to be able to manufacture a well fitting sportsguard.

Another selection of colours/styles/designs…
Boxing, bjj/grappling and MMA catered for here. All made using our triple layer technique and hand shaped and finished for each individual activity.

We have a range of splints/guards available depending on your patients requirements and preferences.
Pictured is our 2mm hard biteguard.
Crystal clear (which always looks nice…) and clean which is important as it helps the patient maintain it themselves. A splint with a cloudy, pitted surface will be more likely to harbour bacteria, which could lead to increased possibility of infection. Very important to provide a clean, clear, smooth appliance.

Another photo dump, trying to keep up with all the work that’s been going out these past months.
Nice mix of colours, font styles, imagery and different sport types.

Another upload trying to catch up on the backlog of pics this past few months. As everything is pretty much unique we try to capture at least a still image before it leaves the lab. When trying to describe a colour combo, font style or image layout, we’ve found it easier to have a reference point. Even if it’s just to show the colour contrasts the lab images have been a handy resource. A subtle difference in font style can make a big difference to the final piece.
Both existing and future clients, feel free to use our images as a visual aid for patients. Other labs, drop us a line and we’ll make you your own demos😉👌🏻
No filters. No photoshop. 😏

Highest quality materials.
Pressure-formed fit.
Your own reservoir preference.
Hand finished ensuring comfort.
Clean and crystal clear.
We’ve noticed a big increase in clinicians using ‘big brand’ gels with our whitening trays to get the best out of treatment.
No photshop. No filters.

A little photo dump. Need to start uploading more as these are just filling the pics folder and will never get seen at the current rate 😂
Lots of colours/styles/graphics to give an idea of what we can do here at XSHQ.👌🏻
Got a patient request? Drop us a DM. It’s always Mouthguard season at XSDental …….😉
