Tooth Wear & Bite
Rehabilitation
Teeth naturally change over time, especially in patients who clench or grind.
Excessive wear can affect appearance, sensitivity, comfort, and long-term stability.
Treatment focuses on restoring structural integrity, protecting remaining tooth structure, and re-establishing a healthy, functional bite.
The objective is preservation, function, and longevity.
Understanding the Condition
Why Teeth Wear
Tooth wear is a gradual process that often goes unnoticed until significant structure has been lost. Contributing factors include:
Clenching and grinding (bruxism)
Acidic dietary habits
Natural aging and attrition
Previous dental work breakdown
Bite misalignment
Early intervention preserves more natural tooth structure and simplifies treatment.
