Tooth wear is an increasingly common problem that is often caused by tooth-to-tooth grinding and/or acid erosion. Our aim is to catch tooth wear early enough to allow simple steps to be taken to prevent further progression and reduce the need for any active dental treatment. We use the most modern digital scanners to allow us to track wear over the long term so that we know if the process is still active.
When the tooth wear is already more severe then we love to help you rebuild your smile. We are extremely experienced in treating this condition and have developed clear protocols to make treatment as swift and predictable as possible. The goal of treatment will be to protect your teeth from further wear and, of course, make them look better at the same time.
Historically treatment would have involved drilling away more tooth structure to place crowns on the teeth. This rarely seems logical to us at Circus Dental as the aim of treatment is to prevent further damage to your teeth. We therefore tend to use modern bonding techniques to ADD tooth coloured material to your teeth without the need for further damage to tooth structure.
