Worn tooth repair is essential for restoring teeth that have been damaged or worn down due to factors such as teeth grinding (bruxism), acid erosion, or poor dental hygiene. Over time, teeth can become flattened, chipped, or weakened, affecting both their function and appearance.
Restorative treatments for worn teeth include dental crowns, composite fillings, or porcelain veneers. Crowns are typically used for severely worn teeth to provide strength and restore function, while veneers can be applied to the front of the teeth for aesthetic enhancement.
For teeth affected by bruxism, a nightguard or occlusal splint is often recommended to prevent further wear. In cases of acid erosion, dietary changes and fluoride treatments may be advised to protect the teeth from further damage.
Worn tooth repair helps restore the teeth to their natural shape, function, and appearance, improving both oral health and self-confidence.
