Tooth wear is increasingly common and is usually caused by one of three things: grinding or clenching (bruxism), acid erosion from diet or reflux, or toothbrush abrasion. The problem tends to worsen slowly and is often noticed only when teeth look noticeably shorter or when sensitivity develops. Modern techniques allow us to rebuild worn teeth without removing much (or any) healthy tooth structure.

We offer several treatments depending on your situation — we'll recommend the right one at your appointment.
For mild to moderate wear, composite resin is added directly to the worn surfaces to rebuild the teeth — no drilling required in most cases. Results can be dramatic.
