Worn Teeth

Worn Teeth Treatment in Lahore

Worn teeth can subtly wear away your smile over time but the impact goes far beyond aesthetics. Tooth wear, whether due to grinding (bruxism), erosion, or aging, can lead to sensitivity, bite issues, and even tooth fractures. We specialize in diagnosing the root cause of tooth wear and restoring your teeth with conservative and aesthetic solutions. If your teeth appear shorter, flattened, chipped, or sensitive, it may be a sign of excessive wear—and it’s time to take action.

What Causes Tooth Wear?

Tooth wear is the gradual loss of tooth enamel and structure. It can result from a variety of factors, including:

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Often happens at night and can wear down the biting surfaces.
Acid Erosion – From acidic foods, drinks, or acid reflux.
Attrition – Natural wear due to aging or habitual chewing.
Abrasion – Caused by aggressive brushing or using a hard-bristled toothbrush.

Left untreated, worn teeth can lead to jaw pain, bite misalignment, and tooth sensitivity or damage.

Signs You May Have Worn Teeth

You might not notice worn teeth until they start causing discomfort. Here are common signs:

Teeth look shorter or flatter than before
Increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
Uneven edges or chips on front teeth
Jaw soreness or tightness (especially in the morning)
Headaches or facial pain due to grinding
