Can Worn Teeth Be Restored? Neil’s Bruxism Case Says Yes
⭐ Restoring Worn Teeth Caused by Bruxism in Antalya: Neil’s Full Smile Reconstruction Journey at The Pearl Clinic
Bruxism — also known as teeth grinding — is one of the most common reasons patients lose tooth structure, experience sensitivity, develop jaw discomfort and eventually suffer from a collapsed bite and reduced vertical dimension. Many patients do not even realise how much damage bruxism has caused until they begin to notice changes in their smile, chewing comfort and facial profile.
In this real patient story, we share Neil’s transformation journey. Neil travelled from Saint David’s in Wales to Antalya for a full smile reconstruction after years of bruxism left his teeth severely worn, shortened and functionally compromised. With advanced digital dentistry and highly durable natural zirconia, our team restored his ideal bite, tooth shape, jaw balance and natural smile.

✈️ Neil’s Arrival From Wales to Antalya
“My name is Neil. I’m from Saint David’s in Wales. I flew over from Cardiff Airport,” Neil explains at the start of his testimonial video. Upon arrival, The Pearl Clinic Antalya’s transfer team picked him up, helping him settle comfortably into the Lara region, known for its convenient location close to the airport.
He checked into his hotel late in the evening and came to the clinic the next morning for his first appointment.
🦷 Initial Consultation: Assessing Severe Tooth Wear From Bruxism
Neil’s case showed classic signs of advanced bruxism damage:
- Flattened and shortened teeth
- Loss of enamel
- Collapsed bite
- Reduced vertical dimension
- Difficulty chewing
- A tired facial expression
- Sensitivity and functional discomfort
To fully understand the extent of wear, we began with:
- Digital 3D scanning
- Bite analysis
- Vertical dimension assessment
- Photographic documentation
- A full occlusal evaluation
From these diagnostics, Neil needed a complete reconstruction of his bite to restore ideal function, aesthetics and durability.
💉 Comfort-Focused Treatment: Pain-Free Dentistry for Bruxism Patients
Neil shared that despite undergoing a long treatment day with several necessary preparations, he did not experience real pain:
“There wasn’t any real pain. I had full local anaesthetic and then painkillers after.”
Bruxism cases often require detailed steps such as:
- Gingival adjustments
- Alignment corrections
- Bite opening
- Temporary restorations
- Exact occlusion mapping
🔄 Treatment Appointments & Fitting Sessions
After the initial preparation, Neil visited the clinic several times for:
- Fitting appointments
- Bite adjustments
- Occlusion checks
- Aesthetic refinements
- Final zirconia placement
“I came back three more times just to get the fitting — and I’m really happy with the results.”
💎 Why Zirconia Is Ideal for Bruxism Cases
Bruxism places excessive pressure on teeth. This makes zirconia the most ideal long-term solution because:
- It is one of the strongest materials in dentistry
- It resists heavy grinding forces
- It provides a natural, lifelike appearance
- It is suitable for full mouth reconstruction
- It does not chip or stain easily
- It restores lost vertical dimension safely
📏 Vertical Dimension Increase: Rebuilding the Bite From Zero
One of the most important steps in bruxism cases is restoring the vertical dimension — the natural height between the upper and lower jaw.
- Restored jaw height
- Improved facial support
- Enhanced chewing comfort
- Balanced smile aesthetics
😁 The Final Result: A Strong, Natural, Functional Smile
- Restored tooth length
- Balanced occlusion
- Improved jaw posture
- Natural smile proportions
- A younger, refreshed facial profile
“Yeah… I’m really happy with the results. So, you know… smiling.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Treating Bruxism in Antalya
Stress, sleep disorders, jaw misalignment, lifestyle factors and genetics can all trigger grinding and clenching. Often a combination of factors is responsible, which is why we take a holistic approach to assessment and treatment.
Yes. With zirconia restorations and vertical dimension reconstruction, even severely worn teeth can be restored to full function. Combined with nightguard protection and occlusal adjustments, results can be long-lasting.
No. Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, and patients usually only require mild painkillers afterward. Our priority is patient comfort during every step.
Typically 5–7 days depending on the complexity of the case and number of fittings required. Neil returned three times for fittings to ensure a perfect result.
Absolutely — zirconia is the strongest restorative material for high-pressure grinding cases.
