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