🦷 Tooth Surface Loss: More Than Just “Wear & Tear” 🦷
Tooth surface loss can happen slowly over many years from:
🔹 Erosion: acid damage from fizzy drinks, citrus fruits, reflux, or stomach acid
🔹 Attrition: grinding or clenching teeth (often during sleep)
🔹 Abrasion: brushing too hard or using abrasive toothpaste
At first, it may only look cosmetic… but untreated tooth wear can lead to:
⚠️ Tooth sensitivity
⚠️ Shortened, weakened teeth
⚠️ Cracks and fractures
⚠️ Difficulty eating
⚠️ Jaw discomfort and bite problems
⚠️ Loss of confidence in your smile
Restoring worn teeth is often complex because we’re not just “filling a tooth” we’re rebuilding lost tooth structure, protecting the bite, restoring function, and improving appearance while preserving as much natural tooth as possible.
✨ Modern adhesive dentistry allows us to carefully rebuild smiles with minimally invasive techniques that can dramatically improve comfort, function, and confidence.

If you’ve noticed your teeth looking shorter, flatter, chipped, or becoming sensitive, early assessment is important treating wear sooner can often prevent more extensive treatment later.
