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.

One of the most common questions people ask before getting veneers is: “Do veneers ruin your teeth?”

It’s an understandable concern. Veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment that permanently alters the surface of the tooth, so patients want to be sure they are making the right decision.

The good news is that when performed by an experienced cosmetic dentist, veneers do not ruin your teeth. In fact, they can often strengthen and protect teeth while dramatically improving the appearance of your smile.

Here is what you need to know about veneers and how they affect your natural teeth.
