Worn Down Teeth
Restore height and function to worn teeth
What is worn down teeth?
Teeth that have worn down from grinding, acid erosion, or age can be restored with dental crowns. Worn teeth can cause bite problems, jaw pain, and an aged appearance. Full coverage crowns rebuild proper tooth height and function.
Why should you treat it now?
Worn teeth continue to deteriorate without intervention. Early treatment with crowns prevents more extensive (and expensive) reconstruction later.
