Tooth Wear
Causes of Tooth Wear
Tooth wear can result from several factors, including:
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Frequent grinding or clenching can wear down the enamel, leading to short, flat, or chipped teeth.
Erosion
Acidic foods, drinks, or stomach acids from reflux can dissolve enamel, making teeth thinner and more prone to damage.
Attrition and Abrasion
These occur due to friction from improper brushing techniques, biting nails, or using teeth as tools, all of which can wear away the enamel.
Treatment Options
At IDS, our team of prosthodontic specialists will assess the extent of your tooth wear and create a personalised treatment plan to restore and protect your smile. Some of our common treatment options include:
Composite Bonding
This minimally invasive treatment uses tooth-coloured resin to rebuild worn or chipped teeth, restoring their natural shape and function.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain shells that cover the front surface of teeth, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection for worn teeth.
Crowns
For teeth with more significant wear, crowns provide full coverage and reinforcement, restoring the tooth’s strength and appearance.
Occlusal Guards
To prevent further damage caused by grinding or clenching, we may recommend a custom-made nightguard, which protects your teeth while you sleep.
