The last year I've been under severe stress. This has caused grinding of my teeth not front teeth but back. When I smile specifically numbers 14,15, 24, and 25 are really worn down. I do not like how this makes my smile less youthful. What would be the best option from bonding to porcelain crowns or veneers? Thanks in advance.

Answer: Teeth Grinding Stress is a huge problem in today's world.For some, it causes their hair to fall out or to turn gray.For others, it causes them to grind or to clench their teeth together.As far as your habit goes, putting veneers or crowns on your teethbefore you have your bite analyzed and treated, will lead to them wearing, chipping or breaking.Find a dentist in your area that really knows about occlusion- how your teeth come together.Likely, you have a discrepancy in how your teeth come together and how they shouldcome together. Your grinding, triggered by the stress, is the jaw moving between those two positions.There are a few really knowledgeable dentist in the Bay Area who really know their stuff!

Answer: Stop the Grind Regina, full coverage eMax crowns bonded to your teeth should take care of the dental issue. BUT, You need a solution for your grinding which should happen first. Botox is great for decreasing your grinding force and super fast and simple to administer. Find a qualified dentist, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics is a good source among others and if you are not sleeping well, they could possibly help identify an issue there too. There are many "bite guards" available but if you are having a sleep breathing issue, they could actually worsen your grinding. Get the grind figured out ASAP.
