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.
You might have this if you notice
- ✓Teeth that look shorter or more square than they used to
- ✓Increased sensitivity, particularly to cold
- ✓Flattened or uneven biting edges
- ✓A smile that looks less youthful than before
- ✓Jaw pain, headaches or stiff jaw muscles (linked to grinding)
How we can help
We offer several treatments depending on your situation — we'll recommend the right one at your appointment.
Composite Bonding
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.

Where wear is severe or involves back teeth under heavy load, crowns provide a more durable long-term restoration.
Learn more →Dental Veneers
For front teeth where the focus is restoring aesthetics alongside function, veneers offer an excellent result.

If grinding is the underlying cause, a custom night guard protects restorations and reduces further wear.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
