Why should I have short, worn teeth repaired?

With the advent of modern medicine, the human lifespan is longer than ever before. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our teeth. As we live longer, healthier lives, we see more people suffering from the effects of teeth that are wearing down naturally.

The loss of tooth material, while a natural, inevitable process, is also one that can cause a variety of problems, both in function and appearance of our teeth. By having your worn teeth repaired, you can avoid further problems and deterioration of your dental status.

How will I know if I'm having problems?

Some of the most common problems with tooth wear include:

A prematurely aged appearance, as the jaw becomes misaligned and causes a loss of facial tone
Misalignment of the jaw as the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, tries to compensate for the loss of tooth material
Pain and soreness of the facial and neck muscles
Bruxism, or tooth grinding
Headaches and migraines
Difficulty chewing and speaking

Can this condition be reversed?

Yes. In many cases, the effects of tooth wear can be fully reversed simply by replacing the worn tooth material with safe, natural looking porcelain veneers and crowns.

What are my options for repair?

Depending on the type and severity of your problem, we may recommend either porcelain veneers, dental crowns, other reconstructive procedures, or some combination of solutions to address your specific issues.

Is this procedure right for me?

The only way to accurately determine whether a procedure is right for you is to schedule a personal consultation with an experienced, trained dentist who can answer your questions, guide you through your options, and give you the information you need to make an informed decision for yourself.
