Worn out teeth are often the result of frequent and forceful pressure applied to the teeth. There are a variety factors that can be held accountable for this condition such as the grinding and clenching of the teeth (bruxism), aggressive brushing or tooth erosion caused by the consumption of food and beverages with high acid content, such as fizzy drinks or even fruit.
In order to effectively treat worn out teeth in patients, the cause needs to be determined and then an appropriate treatment procedure can be implemented. Here at Advanced Dentistry we consider a number of solutions, which may include:
Dental veneers
Crowns
Bridges
Restorative treatment
Endodontics
Orthodontics
Dental implants
Veneer treatment is commonly rendered the best solution. They can be used to improve the shape and colour of worn out teeth. Veneers also help to restore worn out teeth so that they look effortlessly natural and healthy.
