Natural looking Dental Veneer

Using veneers to correct attrition (the gradual wearing down of tooth enamel due to friction) can be a highly effective treatment option. Here's how and why veneers can be used for this purpose:

How Veneers Correct Attrition

1. Restoring Lost Structure: Attrition can lead to a significant loss of tooth structure, which veneers can help restore. By covering the worn areas, veneers can provide the tooth with a new, durable surface that mimics natural enamel.

2. Improving Aesthetics: Attrition often affects the appearance of teeth, making them look shorter or uneven. Veneers can correct these cosmetic issues by reshaping and lengthening the teeth to improve the smile's overall appearance.

3. Providing Protection: While veneers primarily address aesthetic concerns, they also offer some level of protection to the underlying tooth structure. They shield the underlying tooth from further wear and damage.

4. Enhancing Functionality: By restoring the proper shape and function of the teeth, veneers can improve biting and chewing efficiency. This is particularly important if attrition has altered the way your teeth come together.
