Many patients over time experience excessive breakdown of their teeth. This can be because of excessive grinding or decay that causes wear and loss of enamel. We also see patients who have lost several teeth to decay or accidents, the remaining teeth move around to fill the missing space. Long term there is collapse of the bite.

Many of these patients seek treatment because they don't like the appearance of their smile or they feel they can't eat properly and don't want to lose all their teeth and end up with a denture. We also see the pain of patients who because of their bite get headaches or sore jaw muscles. We have the training to evaluate and restore this most difficult and complex cases. If you have concerns about your smile or bite call today for a consultation.

This patient had excessive wear from a lifetime of grinding his teeth. By wearing the teeth down he had collapsed the vertical dimension of his mid face. Note the difference this made when this is restored. This is a full mouth rehabilitation case. (28 all-porcelain crowns)
