01
Years of heavy grinding had left his teeth chipped, sensitive and discoloured.
His daughter’s wedding was coming up, and he wanted to feel confident smiling in the photos.
02
The wear was spread across the whole mouth, and the bite had lost height. To rebuild the worn teeth, the bite needed to be opened to make room for new tooth structure.
03
A full set of porcelain crowns wasn’t within budget, so we planned a combination that fixed both the bite and the look at a lower cost.
The teeth that show most when smiling got porcelain crowns, and the back teeth were built up with resin. Treatment was spread over a payment plan.
04
1
Planning the new bite
We assessed how far the bite needed to be opened to give the worn teeth room to be rebuilt.
2
Porcelain crowns on the front teeth
The front teeth, which show most when smiling, were rebuilt with porcelain crowns.
3
Resin build-ups on the back teeth
The back teeth were built up with resin to open the bite, a lower-cost alternative to crowns.
4
Protective mouthguard
A mouthguard now protects the new work from ongoing grinding.
3 to 4 months · About 8 appointments on a payment plan
05
His teeth are no longer sensitive, the front of his smile is even and bright, and the bite has been restored.
The work was completed in time for the wedding and paid for on a payment plan.
06
Wearing the mouthguard every night
Regular check-ups to review the resin build-ups, which need more maintenance than crowns
Avoiding biting hard objects
07
Fees depend on how many teeth are treated, the materials used and any work needed first. After your consultation you get a written treatment plan with costs, before anything starts, and nothing goes ahead until you are comfortable with the plan. Payment plans are available for cosmetic treatment.
08
Teeth that are chipped, flat or worn short
Sensitivity when eating or drinking
Waking with a sore jaw or being told you grind
Wanting to rebuild your teeth within a budget
If a few of these sound familiar, a consultation is the best next step. We explain your options, including the smallest treatment that will do the job.
This summary is based on the treating dentist’s account of the case. Every mouth is different, so your options, timing and costs depend on your own assessment.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Rebuilding most or all of the teeth to restore their shape, strength and bite. It is often needed when grinding has worn many teeth at once.
Often, yes. Using porcelain where it shows and resin build-ups further back, as in this case, can bring the cost down. Payment plans can also spread the cost.
Grinding usually continues after treatment. A night guard takes the force so the new crowns and build-ups last longer.
