Find out everything you need to know about bite elevation with all-ceramics.

A bite lift is the restoration of the correct bite height when teeth are severely worn, e.g. due to grinding. It is necessary to restore the function, aesthetics and health of the jaw and teeth.

The duration depends on the individual findings. Usually, splint therapy or treatment with temporary appliances is carried out first. Overall, the therapy can take several weeks to months.

All-ceramic is biocompatible, fracture-proof, durable and can be perfectly matched to the color of natural teeth. It is also suitable for allergy sufferers.

Yes, without protective measures, new wear can occur. A bite splint and regular check-ups help to ensure the long-term success of the treatment.

Consequences of a lowered bite

If the vertical distance between the upper and lower jaw base is less than it should be, this is called a dropped bite. This should be corrected as soon as possible, as the consequences are far-reaching. On the one hand, eating behavior is disturbed and the load on the jaw joints changes, which can lead to feelings of pressure, joint pain and tension in the head, neck and shoulder area. In addition to functional effects, the lowered bite can also change the appearance of the face. To rid you of all unpleasant side effects, Prof. Dr. Olze treats you holistically and sustainably at the dental practice in Berlin Mitte. In this way, both the aesthetics and function of your teeth are fully restored.

How does the therapy work?

Your dentist in Berlin Mitte, Prof. Dr. Andreas Olze, will first carry out splint therapy before the actual bite elevation. This allows the optimal bite height to be determined and the jaw to get used to the new position. In some cases, for example, if it is not yet certain whether all teeth are worth preserving or if existing dentures rule out other therapies, long-term temporary restorations must be used. This more complicated version of the treatment takes up to three months.

If the teeth that will later form the pillars for the restoration solution are not positioned correctly, this problem must first be eliminated. This can be done with invisible splints from Invisalign, which are used to move the teeth into the correct position piece by piece to ensure optimal restoration afterwards.

The success of this therapy is clearly visible, as the following case studies by Prof. Dr. Andreas Olze show: Once the initial situation in the jaw is correct, the optimal bite height has been found, and the jaw has become accustomed to it, Prof. Dr. Olze inserts the permanent prosthetic restoration. This can consist of inlays, crowns, partial crowns, bridges, and veneers. If you want a high-quality and durable permanent solution, Prof. Dr. Olze can produce all-ceramic restorations.

Advantages of all-ceramic solutions

All-ceramic restoration solutions have many advantages. The material is very well tolerated and is the ideal solution for allergy sufferers and sensitive people. It is also unbreakable and durable. The material also shines from an aesthetic point of view, as it is precisely matched to your natural tooth color and is therefore almost indistinguishable from your real teeth. Bridges, crowns, inlays and veneers can also be made from ceramic. Your dentist in Berlin Mitte will be happy to advise you further on the advantages of all-ceramics and other materials.

Good aftercare is important!

If your bite is lifted again, it is essential to provide follow-up care. Bite splints prevent the dentures from being worn down or damaged again. Regular check-ups with your dentist in Berlin Mitte will help you to keep your teeth healthy and avoid repeated damage. We make sure that you enjoy your dentures for a long time and that the treatment is worthwhile for you in the long term!
