Tooth Bonding Recovery for Worn Teeth: Rebuilding Your Bite
Teeth aren’t meant to be completely flat across the bottom. When years of grinding wear away the rounded biting tips, you end up with straight, shortened teeth and dull yellow spots of exposed dentine. Rather than grinding what little enamel you have left for porcelain crowns, composite bonding lets us build that lost height straight back up in a single visit.
In our London practice, rebuilding worn teeth starts from £150 per tooth.
What is recovery like once your bite height is restored?
To put it plainly: there is virtually zero surgical recovery. We are adding resin to your teeth, not cutting anything away.
When we rebuild your worn biting edges, your jaw has to rest slightly further open than it has for years. For the first two or three days, your facial muscles might feel mildly tired, exactly like you’ve done a light workout at the gym. Your facial muscles get used to the taller teeth in about forty-eight hours.
Eat soft dinners like risotto or vegetable soup over the weekend. And keep your custom nightguard on your bedside table wearing it every night is the best way to keep that fresh resin safe.
