UNDERSTANDING TOOTH WEAR:

Tooth wear happens when enamel the hard outer surface of your teeth erodes due to friction (bruxism/grinding), acidic foods, or aging. Over time, this can lead to flattened or chipped teeth, sensitivity, and bite changes. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent long-term damage and protect your smile with solutions like bite guards or bonding.  

Key benefits of managing tooth wear:

  • Prevents Tooth Sensitivity
    Protects the inner layers of your teeth from exposure, reducing pain from hot, cold, or sweet foods.
  •  Preserves Natural Tooth Structure
    Early treatment stops further enamel loss and helps you avoid more invasive procedures later.
  •  Enhances Smile Aesthetics
    Restorative treatments improve the appearance of worn or chipped teeth, giving you a more confident smile.

  •  Maintains Proper Bite Function
    Prevents bite misalignment and jaw discomfort caused by uneven wear.

  •  Reduces the Need for Complex Dental Work
    Timely care helps avoid future costs and complications from advanced tooth damage.
