Specialist care for worn teeth
Restore strength, function, and natural form
Tooth wear is often gradual — but over time it can affect the appearance, function, and long-term health of your teeth.
At Manor Lodge dental Practice, we provide specialist tooth wear treatment in Edgware, led by an experienced restorative dentist with a focus on precision, structure, and long-term stability.
Understanding tooth wear
Tooth wear can occur for a number of reasons, including:
- Grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Acid erosion from diet or reflux
- Natural ageing and enamel thinning
- Long-term stress on the bite
Left untreated, it may lead to:
- Shortened or flattened teeth
- Increased sensitivity
- Changes in bite and jaw comfort
- Fracturing or breakdown of teeth
A structured, restorative approach
Treating tooth wear is not simply about improving appearance.
It requires careful planning to restore both function and balance.
Your treatment may involve:
- Composite bonding
- Ceramic crowns or veneers
- Bite (occlusal) adjustment
- Protective night guards
- Full or partial rehabilitation where required
Each plan is tailored to your specific clinical needs.
Comprehensive diagnosis and planning
We begin with a detailed assessment, which may include:
- Clinical examination
- Digital scans and imaging
- Bite analysis
- Evaluation of wear patterns
From this, we create a clear and phased treatment plan, designed to restore your teeth in a controlled and predictable way.
Restoring your bite and protecting your teeth
A key part of treatment is restoring the correct bite relationship.
This helps to:
- Reduce ongoing wear
- Improve comfort when chewing
- Protect restorations long-term
- Maintain overall dental stability
Subtle, natural results
Our aim is to restore your teeth so they feel:
- Strong and functional
- Natural in appearance
- Comfortable and balanced
Treatment is carried out with attention to detail, ensuring results are refined and harmonious, rather than overdone.
For mild to advanced tooth wear
We treat a wide range of cases, including:
- Early enamel wear
- Moderate tooth shortening
