Frictional tooth wear is a common problem for bruxism sufferers, a condition that is often overlooked, but can have severe consequences for your oral health.
Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3ème offers you tailor-made support to repair the effects of this wear and tear and help you regain a healthy, radiant smile.
Bruxism is a functional disorder characterized by grinding or rubbing of the teeth, often linked to stress or sleep disorders. This unconscious habit causes premature wear of tooth enamel, leading to tooth abrasion and, in some cases, more severe damage such as tooth fracture.
Signs oftooth wear can vary from person to person, but the most common include increased tooth sensitivity, changes in the appearance of the teeth, such as teeth that appear shorter or edges that appear dull. For the most severe cases of bruxism, jaw pain, headaches or sleep disturbances may also appear. It’s crucial not to ignore these signs, and to consult a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment. The aim is not only to repair the functional and aesthetic consequences of wear, but also to combat bruxism itself and its causes.
At Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3ème, we offer a range of treatments fortooth wear caused by bruxism. For the treatment of bruxism itself, we can recommend the use of a custom-made mouthpiece to reduce tension in the jaws and protect your teeth at night in the event of nocturnal bruxism. As far as wear itself is concerned, glass-ceramic dental veneers or overlays can be suggested to restore the appearance of damaged teeth. These solutions not only offer aesthetic benefits, but also help to restore tooth strength, as well as normal speech and chewing. Indeed, tooth wear caused by bruxism tends to progressively hollow out the occlusal surfaces used for chewing.
Choosing Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3rd for the treatment of tooth wear means benefiting from recognized expertise and a comprehensive approach with a tailor-made care program. Founded by Dr. Hervé Touati in 1999, our practice is distinguished by its team of experienced practitioners, state-of-the-art technology, and commitment to providing quality care in a welcoming environment. At your first appointment, we’ll carry out a complete oral check-up to identify the causes of your bruxism, as well as accurately determine the damage to your teeth, so that we can design your treatment program. In the case of dental prostheses, we take photos and run a simulation using specialized software so that you can visualize the final result before we entrust the design of your veneers to one of our partner prosthetists. You will receive a customized estimate at the same time as your treatment plan. Payment facilities with personalized payment schedules are available on request from our care coordinator. Once the treatment is complete, regular follow-up care is provided to ensure that you retain the benefits for as long as possible.
