Your teeth can withstand a fair amount of wear and tear, but sometimes, your smile may start to show signs of damage and excessive wear. If you’ve got chipped or worn teeth or your teeth look short and small, and it’s affecting your confidence, we can offer tooth wear rehab.

What causes tooth wear?

Every day, you use your teeth to grind down food before it enters the digestive system. In addition to this general wear and tear, you may also find that your teeth are exposed to acid erosion, as a result of your diet, and damage caused by bruxism (tooth grinding). Brushing the teeth too firmly can also result in abrasion of the tooth surface. If your teeth are worn, you may notice that they look short and misshapen, the surfaces are uneven and the teeth are chipped.

How we can help

If your teeth are worn or chipped, there’s a risk of the tooth structure becoming weaker, and this can increase the risk of further damage. These flaws can also affect the aesthetic of your smile, and you may feel less confident when your smile is on show.

If your teeth are showing the signs of wear and tear, we can help. We are able to use a diverse range of restorative techniques and cosmetic treatments to strengthen the teeth and improve the look of your smile. Treatments we may use include:

• Veneers
• Crowns and fillings
• Cosmetic bonding

We can also offer preventative advice if your teeth are showing very early signs of damage. This may include altering your diet, brushing gently and using appliances such as a bite guard if you grind your teeth.
