Do you have questions abouttooth wear and its treatment?
Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3rd explains the most common causes and presents the support and care we offer patients at our practice.
L’tooth wear is the progressive loss of tooth enamel, affecting the aesthetics and functionality of the teeth. Bruxism, the grinding or clenching of teeth, is a common cause of this condition. It may be due to anxiety or jaw imbalance. Other factors such as anorexia, due to the stomach acids associated with repeated vomiting, can also lead to enamel erosion. Over-aggressive brushing and regular consumption of acidic beverages are other factors contributing totooth abrasion.
During your first visit to Studio Dentaire, we perform a thorough examination to determine the causes oftooth wear and its impact on your teeth. This precise assessment enables us to develop a customized treatment plan that takes into account your specific needs and the general state of your oral health.
Depending on your situation, you may be offered different types of treatment. In cases ofbruxism-related dental abrasion, we may recommend wearing an occlusal tray, custom-made from a digital impression of your teeth. This mouthpiece helps to rebalance the jaws and counteract the phenomenon of teeth grinding or clenching. In cases of advanced wear or damage to the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, ceramic veneers or onlays can be considered to restore the original appearance and volume of the teeth. This solution also has the advantage of preventing further damage.
