TOOTH WEAR AND CHANGING THE BITE
Sometimes people wear their teeth down because of grinding or through an acidic diet. Once you've lost your enamel you can never get it back! So sometimes we may suggest slowly rebuilding the bite back up. The advantage of this is that it prevents further damage to your teeth, prevents fractures and the need for crowns and root canals in the future.
SOME OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS FROM DR. AHMED FOR TOOTH WEAR AND CHANGING THE BITE
Many people do not appreciate how critical these restorations are as their previous dentist may not have mentioned it to them and you will note that these patients often have very flat teeth and crowns but we know that teeth need cusp tips to aid chewing and digestion.
So if your dentist ever mentions you have tooth wear make sure you take it very seriously, as if you do not, it could not only cost you a lot to correct in the future but also lead to fractures and even premature loss of your teeth.
Please be aware that not all patients are suitable for this treatment that requires careful monitoring from a dental professional and in some instances patients may require comprehensive orthodontics or full mouth rehabilitation.
