At first glance, Nicole’s smile doesn’t look too bad. But years of bruxism (teeth-grinding) had led to aggressive wear on her teeth — so much so that the protective enamel layer on her teeth had worn down, exposing the dentine underneath. This left Nicole with painful tooth sensitivity. Her excessive teeth grinding had also caused collapsed vertical dimension or bite collapse, which, over time, could result in a sunken facial appearance and difficulties chewing.
To help restore tooth structure and correct her bite collapse, Nicole’s treatment included a combination of dental crowns, porcelain veneers and Emax onlays. Now, she has a well-structured, balanced and beautiful smile which will better support her facial structure and improve her oral function. She was also given professional guidance and tools to help her manage her bruxing and prevent future damage.
