Запит пацієнта
Мені складно жувати і постійно ламаються зуби.
Client request: I am concerned about headaches, discomfort while chewing, and tooth wear. I want to restore my teeth and stop the pain.
Problem: The teeth were worn down, the bite height was reduced, and the old composite restorations had worn out and started to chip. In the side areas, some teeth were missing, which overloaded the remaining teeth, chewing muscles, and joints.
Solution: Comprehensive gnathological and prosthetic treatment with implantation was performed. After stabilizing the bite and chewing muscle function, the teeth were restored with zirconia crowns. Once the correct bite was restored, the headaches disappeared.
Treatment Plan
01
Комплексна діагностика
Лікар проводить детальне обстеження ротової порожнини, робить цифрові фото, скани та компʼютерну томографію щелеп, щоб побачити повну картину і встановити вірний діагноз та максимально точно спланувати подальше лікування.
Цифрове планування посмішки
Ще до початку лікування, за допомогою сучасних цифрових технологій, створюється майбутня форма зубів і прикусу та відбувається примірка майбутніх реставрацій щоб пацієнт міг на власні очі побачити нову посмішку та оцінити кінцевий результат.

Comprehensive diagnostics
We performed full diagnostics: examination, photo protocol, digital dental scans, computed tomography, bite analysis, and assessment of the chewing muscles and joints. This allowed us to identify the cause of the pain, tooth wear, and reduced bite height, and to create a proper treatment plan.
Revision of old fillings, tooth extraction, and implantation
The old composite restorations were removed because they had worn out and could no longer restore the correct tooth height. Several teeth that could not be treated were extracted, and implants were placed immediately using a surgical guide.
Determining the correct jaw position
Using special techniques, we determined the correct position of the lower jaw, in which the joints and chewing muscles work properly and without overload.
Adaptation with a joint splint
The patient wore an individual joint splint that relaxes the chewing muscles, reduces the load on the joint, and helps find a stable jaw position. After wearing the splint, we confirmed that the muscles had relaxed, the headaches had decreased, and the patient had adapted to the correct jaw position.
Digital treatment planning
We created a digital model of the future teeth, determined the correct bite height and tooth shape, and planned the future smile before prosthetic treatment began.
Placement of temporary crowns
Temporary crowns were placed so the patient could adapt to the new bite height. At this stage, we carefully monitored comfort, chewing, and the function of the muscles and joints.
Placement of zirconia crowns
After adaptation, permanent zirconia crowns for the teeth and implants were fabricated in a digital dental laboratory. The restorations were bonded under a microscope with control of the bite, chewing muscle balance, and chewing comfort.
Result (Before/After)
After treatment, the headaches and discomfort after eating disappeared.

Patient testimonial
For a long time, I did not understand why my head and jaw hurt, especially after eating. My teeth were wearing down, the fillings were breaking, and every year it was getting worse. I never even thought that a reduced bite height could cause headaches.
As soon as I got the splint, I felt better, my headaches stopped, and I started feeling much better.
Now I no longer have headaches or muscle pain, chewing has become comfortable, and I have stopped thinking about my teeth altogether.
I am very glad I found doctors who truly helped me.
