Restoring Worn & Shortened Teeth

What to Do If You Have a Worn Tooth

Rebuild the Strength and Youthfulness of Your Smile

If your teeth appear shorter, thinner, or flatter than they used to be, you are likely experiencing dental wear. This is a common concern caused by years of teeth grinding (bruxism), acid erosion, or a misaligned bite. Left untreated, worn teeth can become sensitive, prone to fractures, and can even change the shape of your face.

How We Restore Worn Teeth

At Acorn Dental, we don’t just fix the appearance; we address the cause.

  • 3D Bite Analysis: We use advanced digital scanning to map exactly how your teeth meet, allowing us to identify the specific grinding or alignment patterns causing the wear.
  • Cosmetic Composite Bonding: A conservative, non-invasive way to “add back” lost tooth structure. We artistically shape tooth-coloured resin to restore the edges of your teeth in a single visit.
  • Porcelain Veneers & Crowns: For more significant wear, we use high-strength porcelain to rebuild the tooth. Veneers refresh the front surface, while crowns provide 360-degree protection for heavily worn teeth.
  • Protective Night Guards: To ensure your new smile lasts, we provide custom-made guards to wear while you sleep, preventing further grinding from damaging your restorations.
  • Full Mouth Rehabilitation: For severe cases, our experts, led by Dr Manoj Parmar and Dr Dipesh Parmar, can rebuild your entire bite using a combination of durable porcelain and composite to restore your facial proportions

Our Dentist Will Restore Your Worn Teeth

At Acorn Dental, our skilled dentists will carefully assess the level of wear on your teeth and perform a digital scan to identify the underlying cause, such as grinding or acid erosion. If the wear is minor, we can typically rebuild the length and shape of your teeth using cosmetic composite bonding in just one visit. For more advanced wear that affects your bite or the overall appearance of your smile, additional treatments such as porcelain veneers or crowns may be necessary to restore full strength, durability, and a natural aesthetic.

If you’ve noticed your teeth becoming shorter, thinner, or more sensitive, don’t wait for the damage to progress. Contact Acorn Dental for expert restorative care and long-term protection. With our three locations in Moseley, Barnt Green and Blythe Valley Park, we’re here to help you rebuild your smile and protect your dental health for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my teeth are wearing down?

Look for teeth that appear shorter, have transparent edges, or show small “craters” on the chewing surfaces. You might also notice increased sensitivity to hot and cold or a change in how your teeth fit together. We use 3D scans to precisely track and show you these changes.

Can worn teeth be fixed without using crowns?

Yes, in many cases. If caught early, we can use Cosmetic Bonding or Overlays to “add back” the lost tooth structure. This is a non-invasive process that usually requires no drilling or injections and can often be finished in just one visit.

Will my teeth wear down again after they are fixed?

To ensure your results last, we treat the cause—not just the symptoms. After restoring your teeth, we typically provide a custom Night Guard to protect your smile from grinding (bruxism) while you sleep, keeping your new smile strong for years.
