Tooth Wear
What is Tooth Wear?
Grinding your teeth or erosion from acid can cause them to become worn down over time. This can result in shortened teeth, sensitivity and changes to your bite and of course, appearance.
- The treatment of tooth wear involves finding out what the specific cause of your wear is and managing it to prevent further tooth surface loss. What’s been lost can then be accurately replaced to restore your teeth back to their original height and shape.
- This is often achieved by a combination of composite bonding and crowns to open your bite and build the teeth height back. Any gaps can also be replaced with dentures or implants. Thus, the whole mouth is treated cohesively so that your bite feels functional and your teeth meet as they should once more.
