The enamel is the strongest part of a tooth, often times a patient might loose enamel from conditions such as severe grinding due to stress, improperly formed enamel and from destructive social habits.
A full mouth rehabilitation becomes necessary to restore missing enamel, to prevent pain, to prevent further destruction, re-establish posterior stops, re-establish occlusion, and restore esthetics and self confidence.
The restorative approach usually involves conservative preparation of remaining tooth structure in order to prevent further mineral loss where crowns can be used to restore missing tooth structure and re-stablish occlusion.
The improvement to a patients' self confidence and self esteem is immediately noticeable.
If you are grinding your teeth and you've lost a lot of tooth structure, speak with your doctor today to see if you may be a candidate for a full mouth rehab.
