I grind my teeth, how much can I expect to pay to fix them?

My teeth are ground down pretty flat, more on one side than another which is the worst part - I have been able to stop myself from grinding most of the time and sometimes wear a bite splint to sleep, so they really haven%26#039;t been worse in the past couple years, but my canine teeth are very visibly worn down especially. How much does it usually cost to fix them? One person I know who is older paid $1100 to fix all of his teeth, and they were much much worse than mine (he is more than twice my age, however). Can I expect to pay as much?

Crowns would be the only restoration you could use to build teeth back up. Each crown can cost close to $1000 a piece....depends on where you live. The dentist would have to take molds of your teeth and create a model to see which teeth would need to be restored.


As far as what you said about stopping your grinding. Don%26#039;t be fooled my friend. It is related to stress and how we handle it. You may think you don%26#039;t grind or clench anymore, but you do. It may not be as strong, but its there. Wear your splint...especially if you restore your teeth with porcelain crowns...you%26#039;ll break them off over the years.....I%26#039;ve seen it.

Reply:I%26#039;m not sure about fixing them, but I do know that the mouth guard that you wear at night time costs around $500 (it%26#039;s not usually covered by insurance).





Just go to a dentist and tell them you want the cheapest alternative. They%26#039;ll work with you.
