What Material Causes The Most Tooth Damage?

Image

Do you know what hard material is likely to damage your teeth?

Your other teeth!

Your teeth are made up of about 96% mineral. Because they are almost entirely made up of solid mineral, this makes them stronger than your bones. In fact, they are as strong or stronger than steel.

While your teeth can withstand over 5600 pounds of pressure per inch, they do wear away when there is grinding. The greatest wear happens when your teeth are misaligned, an issue that affects 90% of the population.

Jane, a patient of ours struggled with bruxism, also known as teeth grinding. Jane had always been self-conscious about her uneven, crooked teeth, and the constant grinding was making matters worse by wearing them down!

She knew it was time for a change and decided to visit our office for a consultation.

During her consultation, Jane sat down with our veneer dentist to discuss her concerns. Vincenzo Artino listened carefully as Jane explained her frustration with the appearance of her teeth and the discomfort she felt on a daily basis.

After conducting a thorough evaluation of Jane's bite and jaw alignment, Vincenzo Artino recommended Invisalign followed by porcelain veneers as the best solution for her needs. It would help correct her mild malocclusion and help realign the jaw. The largest issue with teeth grinding is that your teeth will grind down quicker if they are misaligned. We also were able to fix aesthetic issues such as crooked teeth, gapped teeth, and unevenly spaced teeth – all of which contributed to a misaligned bite.

Because we corrected her jaw, it relieved pressure from her jaw muscles. Jane not only had a gorgeous smile that exceeded her expectations but she was surprised to find her tension headaches "disappeared".

For serious cases of malocclusion, our veneer dentist will suggest Invisalign® before proceeding with veneers. This allows for the teeth and jaw to be properly aligned before enhancing the smile with porcelain veneers. This ensures that your veneers are protected from your other teeth when you bite down.

Jane was thrilled with the results of her porcelain veneers and couldn't stop smiling. Not only did they give her the confident, beautiful smile she had always wanted, but they also helped alleviate the discomfort she had been experiencing.

If you're ready to achieve a beautiful, functional smile, don't hesitate to visit our office for a consultation with our skilled veneer dentist. We'll work with you to find the best solution for your unique needs and help you feel confident in your smile.

"I am a 63 year old man who had several different vintages of crowns intermixed with my natural teeth in the upper front part of my mouth (my smile). I went to Dr. Vinny approximately six months ago and expressed my unhappiness with my smile. Dr. Vinny did a great job putting me at ease and explaining how he would proceed. I could not be happier with the results." - Andrew H, Denver
