Bruxism & Teeth Grinding Treatment in Turkey
Bruxism — grinding or clenching your teeth, often in your sleep — wears down enamel, cracks teeth and crowns, and causes jaw pain and headaches. At our Kuşadası clinic we protect your teeth with a custom night guard, correct the bite where needed and repair existing damage, all-inclusive and for less than at home.

What bruxism does to your teeth
Grinding and clenching place enormous force on your teeth, often at night without you knowing. Over time it flattens and chips enamel, cracks teeth, fractures fillings and crowns, and strains the jaw joint — leading to sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches and an ageing, worn-down smile.
A custom night guard
The cornerstone of treatment is a custom-made night guard (occlusal splint) moulded precisely to your teeth. Worn during sleep, it absorbs the grinding force, protects your enamel and existing dental work, and eases the load on your jaw muscles and joint. A precise, comfortable fit is what makes a guard one you actually wear.
Correcting the bite & repairing damage
Where an uneven bite contributes to grinding, careful adjustment can help. Teeth already worn, cracked or sensitive are restored — with bonding, crowns or veneers as appropriate — so you both protect against future wear and repair what has already happened.
Combine protection with a smile refresh
Many patients who have worn their teeth down over years combine a night guard with restoring the worn teeth, often as part of a smile makeover. You leave protected against further grinding and with a repaired, natural-looking smile.

Frequently asked questions
＋How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Common signs are flattened or chipped teeth, increased sensitivity, jaw pain or clicking, morning headaches, and a partner noticing grinding noises at night. An examination confirms the wear pattern.
＋Will a night guard stop the damage?
A well-fitted custom night guard absorbs the grinding force and protects your enamel, fillings and crowns while you sleep. It is the most effective way to prevent further wear.
＋Can you repair teeth already worn down?
Yes. Worn, chipped or cracked teeth can be restored with bonding, crowns or veneers, often alongside a night guard so you protect and repair at the same time.
＋How much does a night guard cost?
A custom night guard starts from around €90, all-inclusive, versus €250–€600 in Western Europe. Any repairs are quoted separately in writing after examination.
