Teeth can wear or fail for many different reasons, often more than one at the same time. Common contributing factors include:
Grinding & Clenching (Bruxism)
Excessive tooth-to-tooth contact can shorten, flatten or fracture teeth and may contribute to jaw or muscle discomfort. Part of prosthodontic planning often includes addressing the bite and protecting the teeth moving forward.
