Using Cosmetic Dentistry To Address Past Teeth Grinding

If you previously struggled with a teeth grinding habit, you may have suffered chips or cracks in your enamel that affected your smile. Even if there are no noticeable damages, you may feel unhappy because your teeth look older, worn, or misshapen because of the friction placed on them. Fortunately, this does not have to be a permanent problem, as our Rochester, MN dentist’s office can address flaws through cosmetic dental work. The right procedure can make teeth look younger and healthier by hiding damage, changing their shapes, and even improving their color!

Have Your Teeth Been Hurt By A History Of Grinding And Clenching?

People begin grinding or clenching their teeth for several reasons. This is often a stress response, but it can also be linked to habits like caffeine and alcohol consumption, or connected to problems with jaw pain. If your grinding and clenching tended to happen at night, it may have led to noticeable changes in the way your smile looks. Even if the problem has been put behind you, it can be aggravating to see how much your teeth have changed because of this issue. During a cosmetic consultation, we can talk to you about treatment for damage, and review what procedures we provide.

Using Cosmetic Services To Address Wear And Tear

More than one cosmetic procedure can be provided to patients who want to change the shape and size of teeth, or address signs of wear and tear. Teeth that look misshapen or damaged can be restored through a bonding procedure. A Composite resin material can be applied to the surfaces of teeth to change the way they look. Because this approach does not require the creation or placement of any restorations, it can be completed in little time and with little preparatory work. We also have the ability to restore a person’s smile with porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin shells that are custom-made for the patient having work done. During an initial evaluation, we can prepare teeth to receive them while also taking the measurements needed to craft them. Veneers only cover a small portion of teeth, which means less preparatory work is needed than the placement of a crown.

You May Need A Dental Crown For A Damaged Tooth

It is possible for your tooth to be seriously hurt by teeth grinding. If this has occurred, it may be necessary to restore it with a dental crown rather than using cosmetic dental work. At our office, we have CEREC technology that allows us to craft and place crowns in as little as one visit! With the protection of a crown, a tooth can provide more bite support than it did when injured, and you can feel better about your smile.
