Tooth wear restoration focuses on repairing and rebuilding teeth affected by wear due to enamel loss, abrasion, or attrition. This treatment restores the structure and function of the teeth, improving both appearance and comfort.
Enamel loss can occur due to factors like acid reflux, grinding, acidic foods, or improper brushing techniques. Restoration options include dental bonding, crowns, or veneers, which help rebuild the tooth’s surface and protect it from further damage.
The procedure begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of tooth wear. Dentists often use digital imaging and impressions to plan the restoration process. In cases of severe wear, more extensive treatments may be necessary, such as crowns or root canal therapy.
Tooth wear restoration not only improves aesthetics but also restores functionality, alleviating pain or sensitivity caused by exposed dentin.
