worn down teeth

[Georgiana]

Hi

My front teeth have all worn down as a result of years of teeth grinding. I was given a night guard by my dentist but even that wore down and holes started to appear through it. As a result of my grinding my front teeth look very short especially my front lower teeth that look very yellow and short. I would like to know what sort of treatment you would recommend to rebuild my teeth back to how they used to look? Roughly how much will the treatment cost and how long will it take to complete?

Worn down teeth are usually accompanied with a changed overclosed bite. So we would first do white filling buildups to get you used to a new bite. Once you have got used to the new bite, then we can do crowns which will last longer and would be the final restorations. We will also have to make you a hard nightguard to prevent further wear of your teeth.
