Can You Fix My Worn Teeth

If you have worn or chipped teeth, you may have a nighttime clenching and grinding habit that places unnecessary stress and wear on your teeth. If you grind your teeth and need a dentist in Encinitas, CA that can help, we are welcoming new patients to our family dental office.

How to Tell if You Grind Your Teeth

You might not even be aware of a clenching and grinding habit unless your spouse or partner tells you that they hear the signs of a problem. Dr. Jordan can perform an exam to determine if you have a bruxism habit. 

Here are some of the things that he will look for:

• Bite marks along the inside of your cheeks
• Wear and chipped teeth
• Bony growths under your tongue, called tori
• Tooth sensitivity
• Tooth pain
• Headaches

Repairing Your Damaged Smile Is Possible!

Dr. Jordan can treat a clenching and grinding habit with a custom nightguard. Once we protect your teeth, we can address the appearance of your smile. Dr. Jordan has extensive experience in repairing smiles and making them beautiful.

We use cosmetic dentistry services to repair your smile:

• Porcelain veneers
• Ceramic crowns
• Teeth whitening
• Dental bonding
• Full smile reconstruction

We should start with a cosmetic dentistry consultation at our Encinitas, CA dental office. You will have a chance to discuss your concerns with Dr. Jordan and have a complete exam so that he can outline the best treatment options for your new smile.

Once you and Dr. Jordan come up with a plan for your cosmetic treatment, we will schedule appointments that work for you. If you are fearful about dentistry, we offer sedation dentistry to make your treatment more relaxing and comfortable.

Clenching and grinding your teeth can really take a toll on the appearance of your smile and expose your teeth to additional oral conditions such as decay, fractures, and even tooth loss.

Don’t wait. We can help! Contact our Encinitas, CA family dental office to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you!
