Mild, stable wear may only need monitoring, fluoride, sensitivity care and prevention. Active wear from grinding, clenching, acid erosion, reflux, aggressive brushing or bite overload needs the cause controlled first. If tooth structure has already been lost, treatment may include bonding, fillings, crowns, veneers, bite-splint protection or full bite rehabilitation in more advanced cases.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <h2>Why diagnosis comes before restoration<\/h2>\n  <p>Worn-down teeth are not all the same. Some teeth are worn because of tooth grinding. Others are damaged by acid erosion, aggressive brushing, gum recession, old restorations, bite collapse or a combination of several factors.<\/p>\n  <p>Before rebuilding worn teeth, the dentist should understand whether the wear is active or old, mild or advanced, localised or generalised, cosmetic or functional, and whether the bite is still stable. Restoring teeth without controlling the cause can lead to repeated failure, sensitivity or broken restorations.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Common causes of worn-down teeth<\/h2>\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th scope=\"col\">Cause<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\">What it can look like<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\">Why it matters<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Grinding or clenching<\/td>\n        <td>Flat, shiny biting surfaces, short front teeth, chipped edges or cracked restorations.<\/td>\n        <td>The teeth may need bite protection before or after restoration.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Acid erosion<\/td>\n        <td>Smooth, rounded, thin or translucent enamel, often with sensitivity.<\/td>\n        <td>Acid sources must be identified before rebuilding teeth.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Aggressive brushing<\/td>\n        <td>Notches, sensitivity or wear near the gumline.<\/td>\n        <td>Brushing technique and toothpaste choice may need adjustment.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Bite overload<\/td>\n        <td>Wear or fractures on selected teeth rather than evenly across the mouth.<\/td>\n        <td>The bite pattern and restorations may need assessment.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Old fillings or crowns<\/td>\n        <td>Uneven surfaces, mismatched bite height, broken restorations or food trapping.<\/td>\n        <td>Restoration quality and bite stability affect long-term planning.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Missing teeth or bite collapse<\/td>\n        <td>Reduced bite height, changed facial support or overloaded remaining teeth.<\/td>\n        <td>A broader bite rehabilitation plan may be needed.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n  <h2>What can be done first?<\/h2>\n  <p>The first step is usually to stop the wear from progressing. If the cause is grinding or clenching, a custom night guard may be recommended. If the cause is acid erosion, the acid source must be identified. If the cause is brushing trauma, technique and toothbrush pressure may need adjustment.<\/p>\n  <p>Once the cause is understood, the dentist can decide whether the teeth need monitoring, sensitivity treatment, small repairs, cosmetic improvement, stronger restorations or full bite reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>When worn teeth may only need monitoring<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li>The wear is mild<\/li>\n    <li>The wear is old and not progressing<\/li>\n    <li>There is no pain or sensitivity<\/li>\n    <li>The bite is stable<\/li>\n    <li>No teeth are cracking or breaking<\/li>\n    <li>There is no active acid erosion<\/li>\n    <li>The patient is not damaging fillings, crowns or bonding<\/li>\n    <li>The main concern is awareness rather than function or appearance<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>When worn teeth may need active treatment<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Teeth are becoming shorter or flatter over time<\/li>\n    <li>There is sensitivity to cold, brushing, sweets or acids<\/li>\n    <li>Edges are chipping or cracking<\/li>\n    <li>Fillings, crowns, veneers or bonding break repeatedly<\/li>\n    <li>The bite feels lower, unstable or uncomfortable<\/li>\n    <li>Chewing becomes difficult<\/li>\n    <li>The front teeth no longer show normally when smiling<\/li>\n    <li>The jaw feels tired, stiff or painful<\/li>\n    <li>There are headaches linked to clenching or grinding<\/li>\n    <li>The wear affects confidence, speech, chewing or facial support<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>Treatment options for worn-down teeth<\/h2>\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th scope=\"col\">Treatment option<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\">When it may help<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\">Important planning point<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Monitoring and prevention<\/td>\n        <td>Mild, stable wear without symptoms or functional problems.<\/td>\n        <td>Photos, scans or regular checks may help detect progression.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Fluoride and sensitivity care<\/td>\n        <td>Sensitive worn enamel or exposed dentine.<\/td>\n        <td>Sensitivity must be diagnosed so cavities, cracks or nerve problems are not missed.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Custom night guard<\/td>\n        <td>Wear linked to grinding, clenching or bite overload.<\/td>\n        <td>Protects teeth and restorations but does not always stop the habit itself.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Composite bonding or fillings<\/td>\n        <td>Small chips, localised wear, minor shape correction or exposed areas.<\/td>\n        <td>Works best when bite forces are controlled and tooth structure is suitable.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Veneers<\/td>\n        <td>Selected front teeth with aesthetic wear, shape concerns or enamel defects.<\/td>\n        <td>Not ideal if heavy grinding or structural weakness is uncontrolled.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Crowns or onlays<\/td>\n        <td>Teeth that need stronger coverage because of severe wear, cracks or loss of structure.<\/td>\n        <td>The tooth underneath must be restorable and the bite must be planned carefully.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Bite rehabilitation<\/td>\n        <td>Advanced wear, bite collapse, multiple damaged teeth or loss of chewing support.<\/td>\n        <td>Requires staged planning, diagnostics and long-term maintenance.<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n  <h2>Can worn enamel grow back?<\/h2>\n  <p>No. Lost enamel does not grow back naturally. Early enamel weakening may sometimes be supported with fluoride and preventive care, but when tooth structure has been physically worn away, it cannot regenerate by itself.<\/p>\n  <p>This is why prevention is important. If the wear is active, the priority is to slow or stop further damage. If enough structure has already been lost, the dentist may discuss restorative options to rebuild shape, function and protection.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Can bonding fix worn-down teeth?<\/h2>\n  <p>Composite bonding can help in selected cases, especially when wear is mild to moderate, localised and mainly affects tooth edges or shape. It can restore small chips, improve symmetry and protect exposed areas.<\/p>\n  <p>Bonding may not last well if heavy grinding, clenching or acid erosion continues. If the bite forces are high, the bonding may chip or wear quickly unless the cause is controlled and a night guard is used when needed.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>When are crowns needed for worn teeth?<\/h2>\n  <p>Crowns may be needed when teeth are severely worn, cracked, weakened or too structurally damaged for bonding or fillings to provide reliable protection. A crown can rebuild shape and strength, but it is more invasive than bonding and requires careful planning.<\/p>\n  <p>Crowns are not automatically the best solution for every worn tooth. The dentist should assess whether a conservative option is possible, whether the tooth is strong enough, and whether the bite needs to be stabilised first.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>When are veneers considered?<\/h2>\n  <p>Veneers may be considered for selected front teeth when the main concern is appearance, shape or minor wear. They can improve the visible smile when the teeth are otherwise healthy and the bite is suitable.<\/p>\n  <p>Veneers are not usually the first choice for uncontrolled heavy grinding, severe tooth loss, active acid erosion or fragile teeth. In those cases, bite protection, erosion control, orthodontics, bonding, crowns or bite rehabilitation may be safer options.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Why a night guard may be part of the plan<\/h2>\n  <p>If worn teeth are linked to grinding or clenching, a custom night guard may protect the teeth and restorations from further damage. This is especially important after bonding, crowns, veneers or bite rehabilitation, because new restorations can be damaged by the same forces that wore the natural teeth.<\/p>\n  <p>A night guard should be made and adjusted to fit the bite. A poorly fitting guard may feel uncomfortable, unstable or ineffective.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Worn teeth from acid erosion<\/h2>\n  <p>Acid erosion can come from frequent acidic drinks, energy drinks, citrus habits, acidic snacks, reflux, vomiting, dry mouth or a combination of factors. The enamel may look smooth, thin, rounded or translucent, and teeth may become sensitive.<\/p>\n  <p>If acid erosion is active, restoring the teeth without controlling the acid source may lead to repeated failure. The dentist may ask about diet, reflux symptoms, dry mouth, exercise drinks, energy drinks and brushing timing.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Worn teeth from grinding or clenching<\/h2>\n  <p>Grinding and clenching can flatten biting surfaces, shorten front teeth, crack enamel, chip fillings and create jaw-muscle symptoms. Some patients know they grind. Others only discover it after a dentist sees the wear pattern.<\/p>\n  <p>The plan may include a bruxism assessment, bite-splint protection, monitoring, repair of damaged restorations and sometimes bite rehabilitation if the wear has affected function or bite height.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>What affects the treatment plan?<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li>How much tooth structure has been lost<\/li>\n    <li>Whether wear is active or stable<\/li>\n    <li>Whether the cause is grinding, erosion, brushing, bite overload or mixed<\/li>\n    <li>Whether teeth are sensitive, cracked or painful<\/li>\n    <li>Whether the bite height has changed<\/li>\n    <li>Whether existing fillings or crowns are failing<\/li>\n    <li>Whether the patient has reflux, dry mouth or frequent acidic drink exposure<\/li>\n    <li>Whether front teeth, back teeth or the whole mouth are affected<\/li>\n    <li>Whether appearance, chewing, speech or comfort is the main concern<\/li>\n    <li>Whether the patient wants a conservative repair or a larger rehabilitation plan<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>How dentists assess worn-down teeth<\/h2>\n  <p>The dentist may examine tooth wear patterns, enamel thickness, exposed dentine, cracks, bite contacts, jaw muscles, TMJ symptoms, old fillings, crowns, acid erosion signs and gum recession. Photos, X-rays, bite registration or digital scans may be recommended depending on the case.<\/p>\n  <p>The dentist should also ask about grinding, clenching, diet, acidic drinks, reflux, dry mouth, brushing habits, sleep, stress and previous dental work. Worn teeth often need both dental and behavioural risk assessment.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Can severe worn teeth be rebuilt?<\/h2>\n  <p>Often, yes, but severe wear needs careful planning. If many teeth are affected, the dentist may need to rebuild the bite in stages. This can involve temporary build-ups, bonding, crowns, onlays, veneers, night-guard protection and bite rehabilitation.<\/p>\n  <p>In advanced cases, the aim is not only to make teeth longer. The plan must restore function, chewing comfort, cleanability, aesthetics, bite stability and long-term protection.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>What happens if worn teeth are left untreated?<\/h2>\n  <p>If wear is mild and stable, monitoring may be enough. If wear is active and untreated, teeth may become shorter, more sensitive, more prone to cracks, less aesthetic and harder to restore later.<\/p>\n  <p>Advanced wear can also affect the bite, jaw comfort, chewing efficiency and the lifespan of fillings, crowns and veneers. Early diagnosis gives more conservative options.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>What happens at Gloss &amp; Floss?<\/h2>\n  <p>At Gloss &amp; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in S\u00f6dermalm, Stockholm, we assess worn-down teeth by checking the tooth-wear pattern, bite forces, grinding or clenching signs, acid erosion, sensitivity, cracks, jaw symptoms, old restorations and whether the wear is active. We explain whether monitoring, prevention, a custom night guard, bonding, fillings, crowns, veneers or bite rehabilitation may be appropriate.<\/p>\n  <p>For English-speaking patients, expats and international residents, we explain terms such as tooth wear, enamel loss, erosion, bruxism, clenching, bite splint, bonding, veneers, crowns, bite collapse and bite rehabilitation in clear English before treatment decisions are made.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Questions to ask your dentist<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Why are my teeth worn down?<\/li>\n    <li>Is the wear active or old?<\/li>\n    <li>Is grinding or clenching involved?<\/li>\n    <li>Is acid erosion involved?<\/li>\n    <li>Are any teeth cracked or at risk?<\/li>\n    <li>Do I need a night guard?<\/li>\n    <li>Can bonding repair the worn areas?<\/li>\n    <li>Would crowns or veneers be safer in my case?<\/li>\n    <li>Has my bite height changed?<\/li>\n    <li>Do I need full bite rehabilitation or only local repairs?<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>When should you seek care?<\/h2>\n  <p>Book a dental assessment if your teeth look shorter, flatter, thinner, more transparent, chipped, sensitive or increasingly uneven. You should also seek care if you have jaw pain, morning headaches, signs of grinding, repeated filling or crown fractures, acid reflux symptoms, dry mouth, or if your bite feels lower or different than before.<\/p>\n  <p>Seek care sooner if worn teeth are combined with severe toothache, swelling, pain when biting, a broken tooth, a loose crown, jaw locking or rapidly worsening symptoms.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n  <h3>Can worn-down teeth be repaired?<\/h3>\n  <p>Yes, many worn teeth can be repaired or rebuilt. Options include bonding, fillings, crowns, veneers, bite-splint protection or bite rehabilitation, depending on the cause and severity.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Can enamel grow back after tooth wear?<\/h3>\n  <p>No. Lost enamel does not grow back naturally. Prevention can slow further damage, and restorations can rebuild lost shape when needed.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>What causes teeth to become worn down?<\/h3>\n  <p>Common causes include grinding, clenching, acid erosion, reflux, aggressive brushing, bite overload, old restorations, missing teeth and natural ageing combined with other risk factors.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Do I need a night guard for worn teeth?<\/h3>\n  <p>You may need one if wear is linked to grinding, clenching or bite overload. A night guard protects teeth and restorations but should be custom fitted and checked by a dentist.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Can bonding fix short or chipped teeth?<\/h3>\n  <p>Bonding can help selected short, chipped or mildly worn teeth. It may not be enough if wear is severe, the bite is overloaded or acid erosion is active.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>When do worn teeth need bite rehabilitation?<\/h3>\n  <p>Bite rehabilitation may be needed when wear is advanced, many teeth are affected, the bite height has changed, chewing is uncomfortable, or multiple restorations must be planned together.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Related answers<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/gloss-floss-answers\/why-do-i-grind-my-teeth\/\">Why do I grind my teeth?<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/gloss-floss-answers\/what-is-bruxism\/\">What is bruxism?<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/gloss-floss-answers\/do-i-need-a-night-guard\/\">Do I need a night guard?<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/gloss-floss-answers\/can-stress-affect-your-teeth\/\">Can stress affect your teeth?<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/gloss-floss-answers\/why-are-my-teeth-sensitive\/\">Why are my teeth sensitive?<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>Related treatments<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/bite-rehabilitation\/\">Bite rehabilitation<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/tooth-grinding\/\">Tooth grinding and bruxism treatment<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/bite-rail\/\">Bite splint \/ night guard<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/preparation-and-filling\/\">Dental fillings<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/crowns-and-bridges\/\">Crowns and bridges<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/porcelain-veneers\/\">Porcelain veneers<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloss-floss.se\/en\/dental-consultation\/\">Dental consultation<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>Disclaimer<\/h2>\n  <p>This article provides general information from Gloss &amp; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in Stockholm.
