Restoring Function & Aesthetics
to Worn Teeth
Tooth wear is a common dental condition that occurs when the tooth structure gradually erodes or becomes damaged over time. This can be caused by factors such as bruxism (teeth grinding), erosion by acidic foods or beverages, aggressive brushing habits, and certain medical conditions. Tooth wear not only compromises the function of the teeth but also affects the aesthetics of your smile.
Tooth wear rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to restoring the form, function, and appearance of worn teeth, helping you regain a healthy and beautiful smile.

The first step in tooth wear rehabilitation is a thorough examination and diagnosis. Our dentist will assess the extent of tooth wear, determine the underlying causes, and evaluate the overall oral health.
Based on the assessment, our dentist will develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. The treatment plan may involve a combination of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to restore the function, structure, and aesthetics of your teeth.
Occlusal analysis evaluates how the upper and lower teeth come together when biting and chewing. This step helps identify any issues with the bite (occlusion) that may be contributing to tooth wear and adjustments to the bite may be necessary.
Depending on the severity of tooth wear, various restorative procedures may be employed, such as:
Dental bonding involves the application of tooth-coloured resin to rebuild worn tooth surfaces and restore their shape and function.
Dental crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped caps that cover the entire tooth structure. They provide strength, protection, and aesthetics to worn or damaged teeth.
Inlays and onlays are conservative restorations that are used to repair moderately worn teeth. They are custom-made and bonded to the damaged tooth to restore its shape, function, and strength.
Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They can improve the appearance of worn teeth by enhancing their shape, size, and colour.
If tooth wear is caused by bruxism or teeth grinding, we may recommend the use of a custom-fitted bite guard or splint. These oral appliances create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing further wear.
To prevent further tooth wear, our dentist may provide guidance on lifestyle modifications and oral care practices.
Tooth wear rehabilitation aims to restore the function of your teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak with ease and comfort.
Tooth wear rehabilitation procedures, such as dental bonding, crowns, and veneers, can enhance the aesthetics of your teeth.
Tooth wear rehabilitation takes a conservative approach, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Tooth wear is not normal. Three causes for tooth wear have been identified:
The first step in addressing tooth wear is to have your dentist evaluate
your individual risk factors and customize an appropriate management
protocol for you.
Your tooth wear management protocol may include:
Other than impacting the way you look, untreated tooth wear may lead
to the nerve of your tooth being exposed. When this occurs, the
affected tooth will require root canal treatment to save it. If tooth wear
remains untreated, it can lead to the tooth becoming damaged to the
extent it must be removed.
