A common problem that cosmetic dentist, London and all over the UK see is tooth wear.
Tooth wear has many aetiological factors. Many people grind or clench their teeth. Some tooth wear may be from erosion from acidic or fizzy drinks. Extra stress on the teeth can also affect the jaw muscles and joints. Excessive pressure can cause jaw, muscle, head and neck pain. Excessive tooth wear can lead to broken, chipped teeth and expose or damage tooth nerves.

Treatment of Tooth Wear With Cosmetic Dentistry
After the cause of the tooth wear has been found, cosmetic dentist can restore your teeth with porcelain veneers, dental crowns or composite bonding. A combination of the above may be used. Composite bonding is made from resin filling material that builds up worn or broken teeth. This is great, but not for the long term. Porcelain veneers are porcelain laminates that restore broken or worn teeth very successfully over the long term. Porcelain veneers will improve your bite, function and eating ability as well as improve cosmetics 100%. If teeth are severely worn or damaged then dental crowns may be required. Dental crowns are like porcelain veneers except they wrap around the whole tooth. They are very strong long term.
Once the teeth are restored, your bite and jaw relationship should be more comfortable, then cosmetic dentists will usually make you a night bite guard to protect from clenching or grinding.

Prevention of Tooth Wear
Cosmetic dentists are aware that tooth to tooth contact cannot be completely stopped, but with the night bite guard your teeth are prevented from excessive contact and can help tooth wear! In turn this may alleviate jaw and muscle symptoms.
