[Jongno Dental Clinic Recommendation] My teeth are worn down and look badㅠㅠ

Hello, this is Jongno Dental Clinic Recommendation. Today, let’s look at cases before and after treatment for tooth wear. Tooth wear refers to the surface of the teeth wearing down due to various factors. While this is something that can naturally occur as we age, it can also be accelerated by certain habits or diseases. Wear can reduce chewing function and cause various problems such as temporomandibular joint issues and tooth discoloration, so it is best to receive treatment in a timely manner.

Then shall we look together at how the patient we are meeting today changed after treatment?

Symptom introduction

This is a photo before treatment. The patient visited because the lower front teeth were worn down, making the pointed parts look unpleasant. The patient said that because the bite was very tight, even simple filling treatments came off frequently. So we proceeded with crown treatment. Shall we check below to see how it changed?

After treatment - 2025. 01.14

Treatment period: 6 days

Treatment notes

As mentioned above, the treatment was carried out with crown treatment. Crown treatment refers to placing a prosthetic that covers the entire tooth to protect a damaged or weakened tooth. If you look at the photo after treatment is complete, the teeth appear more even and the visible area also looks natural, so the patient was very satisfied and said it was great that the aesthetics improved :)

There are various causes of tooth wear. Let me mention a few of them. First is improper brushing habits. Brushing with too much force can wear down the enamel and cause wear, and brushing vigorously side to side can lead to cervical abrasion. Also, frequently drinking carbonated beverages with a lot of acidic ingredients can corrode the teeth. Lastly, it is known that grinding your teeth or clenching them during sleep or unconsciously can also be a cause of wear.
