Tooth Wear Treatments

Teeth wear down over time due to use. This wear is especially prevalent on the chewing parts of the teeth and the more prominent parts of the front teeth.
When teeth are worn down, they appear chipped, broken, discolored and smaller than normal.
Sometimes the problem here is just aesthetic, sometimes it causes cold and hot sensitivity. When the teeth cause aesthetic discomfort for the patient with their worn appearance, the upper front teeth can be corrected by applying six or eight veneers.
The most frequently used method in tooth abrasion treatments before veneering is the BONDING method.

What is the Bonding Method? 

It is the process of placing a material called composite on the worn part of the original tooth, shaping it and polishing it without causing any abrasion to the tooth. With this process, the tooth gains a new appearance, a fresher appearance.

Porcelain laminate application can be done to provide a more aesthetic appearance and create a smile design on the face in case of tooth wear problems.

With today's technology, it is now possible to create a new enamel structure without touching the original tooth.
In cases where the abrasion is very advanced, the back teeth need to be articulated to the grassy parts. In this process, just like in the front teeth, the first method is the Bonding method.

What are the causes of tooth wear?

In tooth wear treatments; the most important element is to eliminate the cause of tooth wear. The cause of tooth wear is usually teeth grinding. For this reason, a night plate should be given to the person in order to prevent tooth wear again.
