Worn-Down Bites, Chipped Teeth & Bite Restoration | Brisbane Smile Boutique
Teeth can wear down over time due to:
Tooth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
Acid erosion from diet or reflux
Normal ageing
Bite misalignment
Trauma or repeated chipping
Worn teeth can create bite problems that affect chewing, jaw comfort, and smile aesthetics. Signs of excessive wear include:
Flattened tooth surfaces or wear facets
Chipped or fractured teeth
Shortened tooth height
Tooth sensitivity
Uneven bite or jaw discomfort
If left untreated, bite wear can lead to more severe dental problems and TMJ discomfort.
