Worn teeth are a sign to act before the damage spreads.
Once enamel is worn away, it doesn't grow back. The softer dentine underneath becomes exposed, making teeth more sensitive and more prone to chips, cracks and decay.
Treating worn teeth early can be as simple as a protective nightguard. For more visible wear, veneers, composite bonding or a smile makeover can rebuild the shape, length and colour of your teeth.
Obvious. And often painful.
The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:
- 01Teeth that look shorter or flatter than before
- 02Increased sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet
- 03Chipped or cracked edges
- 04A bite that feels uneven or different

Don't wait it out.
Speak to your our practice dentist if you're experiencing any of the following — book an appointment as soon as you can:

- —Front teeth are visibly shorter or chipping
- —You wake with a sore jaw or headaches
- —Your bite no longer feels even
In discomfort right now?
A sudden chip or sharp sensitivity should be checked promptly. In the meantime, avoid very hard or very cold foods and use a sensitive toothpaste.
A plan, not a quick fix.
We'll identify what's causing the wear and recommend the best approach — from a protective nightguard to composite bonding, veneers or a full smile makeover.
