Worn Teeth Rehabilitation

Do You Feel Like You’re Going to the Dentist for the Same Teeth Over and Over Again?

If you’ve spent years replacing broken fillings, cracked teeth, fractured crowns, or repairing the same teeth repeatedly, the problem may not be your teeth; it may be your bite.

When restorations are placed into an unstable or unbalanced bite, excessive forces continue to stress your teeth, causing them to crack, wear down, and fail over time. Rather than simply replacing another filling or crown, it’s important to understand why your teeth keep breaking.

At Smiles By Jiveh, Dr. Farokh Jiveh looks beyond the damaged tooth to identify the underlying cause. Using advanced diagnostics and comprehensive bite analysis, he develops a personalized treatment plan that restores balance, protects your teeth, and creates long-term stability.

Rebuilding the Smile After Years of Wear, Grinding & Bite Collapse

Years of grinding, clenching, acid erosion, and bite imbalance can gradually wear down your teeth, changing not only your smile but also the way your bite functions. As teeth shorten over time, many patients experience jaw discomfort, headaches, tooth sensitivity, fractured restorations, difficulty chewing, and even an aged appearance as facial support begins to collapse.

Our goal isn’t simply to restore worn teeth, it’s to rebuild a healthy, functional bite that allows your restorations to last for years.

Understanding Why Teeth Wear Down

Most patients experience one or more forms of tooth wear:

  • Grinding and clenching (attrition): Tooth-to-tooth wear that gradually shortens and flattens the teeth.
  • Acid erosion: Enamel loss caused by acidic foods, beverages, acid reflux, or certain medical conditions.
  • Abrasion: Wear caused by aggressive brushing or improper brushing techniques, often near the gumline.

Identifying the cause of the wear is the first step toward preventing it from happening again.

Comprehensive Treatment Designed to Last

Depending on the severity of wear and bite collapse, treatment may include:

  • Composite bonding
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Ceramic crowns
  • Bite rehabilitation
  • Periodontal therapy
  • Implant dentistry
  • Full-mouth reconstruction

Every treatment plan is designed to restore proper function, improve comfort, enhance aesthetics, and provide long-term stability.

To protect your investment, Dr. Jiveh also designs customized bite appliances and occlusal therapies that help reduce stress on the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints while minimizing future wear and fracture.
