Problem
| Before |
 |
| |
| |
| |
 |
| After |
- There is excessive wear of the teeth close to the gum line, resulting in loss of the teeth’s hard enamel covering and exposure of the underlying soft tooth structure.
- These worn areas appear darkly stained and unaesthetic.
- Food gets caught in the worn ridges, and sensitivity to hot or cold liquids has developed.
- There is risk of exposure of the underlying nerve tissue.
Solution
- Composite bonding is placed over the worn areas, replacing the missing enamel and preventing further tooth loss.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold liquids is reduced or eliminated.
- The teeth are restored to their original shape and color resulting in a more youthful and esthetic smile.
