When your teeth begin to show signs of significant wear and tear—whether from years of grinding, acid erosion, or age-related changes—it can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Worn-down dentition can lead to discomfort, reduced functionality, and self-consciousness about your appearance. At Shan Dental, we specialize in comprehensive Full Mouth Rehabilitation to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Worn-down dentition occurs when the enamel—the protective outer layer of your teeth—has been eroded or damaged over time. This can lead to teeth appearing shorter, chipped, or uneven. Common causes include:
● Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Often caused by stress or misaligned teeth, bruxism can wear down the biting surfaces of your teeth over time.
● Acid Erosion: Frequent consumption of acidic foods and beverages or acid reflux can erode enamel, leading to increased sensitivity and a worn appearance.
● Aging: As we age, the natural wear and tear of daily functions like chewing and speaking can slowly affect the teeth, causing them to become flat or uneven.
● Genetics and Bite Issues: Some individuals are predisposed to dental wear due to the natural alignment of their bite or genetic factors.
Based on the level of wear, treatment can include:
● Dental Crowns & Veneers: Restoring shape and function of worn teeth.
● Dental Implants & Bridges: To replace missing or severely damaged teeth.
● Composite Bonding: Non-invasive rebuilding of worn teeth.
● Orthodontics: To correct misalignment that may be contributing to wear.
● TMJ Treatment: Resolve issues resulting from grinding or from a misaligned jaw.
Worn-down teeth, often caused by grinding, aging, or poor dental habits, can lead to discomfort, difficulty chewing, and an overall decrease in the appearance of your smile. At Shan Dental, we offer specialized treatments to restore your teeth to their optimal function and aesthetic appeal.
