Worn Teeth Solutions in Orlando, FL

Comprehensive Restoration and Protection by a Board Certified Prosthodontist

Worn teeth can develop gradually from years of grinding, clenching, acidic foods, or aggressive brushing, often without you even realizing it. As your tooth structure breaks down, you may experience sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and changes to your facial appearance.

At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, Dr. Cokovska specializes in diagnosing the underlying causes of tooth wear and creating comprehensive treatment plans that both restore your damaged teeth and prevent future wear. With over 30 years of prosthodontic expertise and a deep understanding of occlusion, bite alignment, and restorative materials, she addresses not just the symptoms but the root causes of your tooth wear.

Whether you need protective night guards, full mouth rehabilitation, or individual restorations, Dr. Cokovska provides personalized solutions that rebuild your smile's function, comfort, and beauty.

Why Choose Makris Dental for Worn Teeth Solutions?

Treating worn teeth requires specialized knowledge that goes far beyond general dentistry. The causes are complex and often multifactorial, requiring a prosthodontist's advanced training to diagnose properly and treat effectively for long term success.

Specialized Diagnostic Expertise

Dr. Cokovska identifies the specific causes of your tooth wear, whether from grinding, acid erosion, bite misalignment, or a combination of factors, ensuring treatment addresses the root problem rather than just symptoms.

Comprehensive Treatment Planning

From protective appliances to full mouth rehabilitation, we create customized solutions that restore damaged teeth while preventing future wear, protecting your investment for years to come.

Advanced Restorative Materials

We use premium ceramics and composite materials specifically selected for durability and aesthetics, rebuilding tooth structure with restorations that can withstand the forces that caused the original wear.

Occlusal Expertise

As a prosthodontist, Dr. Cokovska has extensive training in bite alignment and jaw function, allowing her to correct underlying occlusal issues that contribute to accelerated tooth wear.

Our Advanced Technology

Diagnosing and treating tooth wear requires sophisticated technology to understand both the extent of damage and the forces causing it. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize digital imaging and 3D scanning to map your tooth surfaces with exceptional precision, revealing even subtle patterns of wear that might otherwise go undetected.

Our T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system measures the timing and force distribution of your bite with scientific accuracy, identifying areas of excessive pressure that contribute to accelerated wear. For fabricating restorations, we employ CAD/CAM technology and partner with premier laboratories to create crowns, onlays, and veneers from materials specifically engineered for strength and wear resistance.

This comprehensive technological approach allows us to deliver treatment that not only restores what has been lost but protects against future damage.

Benefits of Treating Worn Teeth

Eliminate Sensitivity

Restore protective enamel and dentin to eliminate the sharp, shooting pains caused by exposed tooth surfaces when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods.

Prevent Further Damage

Stop the progression of tooth wear before it leads to fractures, decay, or the need for more extensive and costly treatments like root canals or extractions.

Restore Proper Function

Rebuild tooth height and contours to reestablish proper chewing function, improve bite alignment, and reduce jaw muscle strain and TMJ symptoms.

Enhance Appearance

Recreate natural tooth length and shape to reverse the aged, shortened appearance that worn teeth create, restoring a youthful, confident smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Worn Teeth Treatment?

Treatment for worn teeth benefits patients at various stages of tooth wear, from early signs to severe damage. You may be an ideal candidate if you experience the following:

You notice your teeth appear shorter, flatter, or more yellow than they used to be

You wake up with jaw pain, facial soreness, or frequent headaches
