Worn Front Teeth
Restore your smile. Reclaim your comfort. Rediscover confidence.
Many adults with healthy teeth and gums begin to notice subtle changes in their smile—flattened or shortened front teeth, often starting in their 30s or even earlier. What seems like simple wear is often a sign of something deeper: an imbalance in how your teeth and jaws work together.
The Hidden Cause of Tooth Wear
It usually starts with the canine teeth. As they wear down, they stop protecting your front incisors, which then begin to flatten and chip. But the real culprit? Poor alignment of the back teeth. When they don’t fit together properly, the entire bite system suffers—leading to:
- Chipped or broken back teeth and fillings
- Jaw clicking or locking
- Tooth grinding or clenching
- Headaches and migraines
These symptoms point to a disharmony in your chewing system—a problem we’re trained to diagnose and treat with precision.
Early Diagnosis = Simple Solutions
Catch it early, and treatment can be surprisingly straightforward:- Gentle reshaping of back teeth
- Bonding white filling material to rebuild worn canines
- Ultra-thin porcelain veneers for incisor tips—often with no drilling required
Tooth wear can escalate quickly. Front teeth may become severely shortened, and back teeth may continue to break or fracture. But even advanced cases can be treated successfully—once we’ve identified the root cause.
We follow the principles of Complete Dentistry, taught by the Dawson Academy, to ensure every treatment is:
- Predictable
- Minimally invasive

Your Personalised Treatment Journey
Stage 1: Full Clinical Examination
We assess your entire chewing system—jaw joints, muscles, teeth, and gums. We take detailed photographs, radiographs, and precise records of how your jaws naturally want to align. This takes around 90 minutes and sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Stage 2: Precision Planning
We build accurate models of your teeth and mount them on a jaw-simulating machine—right here in our clinic. No outsourcing. No guesswork. We study every detail to diagnose the cause of wear and plan your treatment with total clarity.
Stage 3: Case Presentation
We sit down with you, your models, and your photos to explain everything clearly. Some cases need simple reshaping and fillings. Others may involve tooth movement or full arch restoration. We’ll outline what’s essential now, what can wait, and what’s optional—so you stay in control.
Stage 4: Treatment Delivery
Once we agree on the plan, we’ll schedule your treatment in manageable phases. Whether it’s a quick fix or a full transformation, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
