Porcelain crown, veneers or bonding for teeth grinding?

When vertical height has been lost, bonding is not an option.  This leaves crowns or veneers, with crowns the right choice in the back, veneers for the front.

It would be wise to thoroughly evaluate your bite before beginning any treatment.  If there are any teeth that need to be restored, there are many durable dental materials that can replace whatever tooth has been worn away.  In addition, wearing a nightguard is essential.

Hi:Since you are a grinder, the best option is to do either Emax or Zirconium crowns on #14 and #15 and doing emax veneers on #24 and 25.Best,Dr. Maddahi
