Teeth grinding has worn down my teeth to gum level. Can implants be used to replace them?
Q.
Hello doctor,
Hello doctor,
over the years, grinding my teeth during the night has worn down all my upper teeth to gum level. Can implants be used to replace them, and if not, what alternatives do I have?The thought of false teeth doesnt appeal so would prefer something permenant.I am late fifties and in good health generally. So can you pelase advise me of what courses of treatment are available to myself ! This seems to cover what I wish to ask and I hope you have the time to answer my question. Best wishes and thank you very much.

Hello and thank you for your question. Best you come and have a consultation as soon as possible! Implants may be an option? Tooth wear of such severity can often be very difficult to treat and sometimes quite complicated but we always start the process of offering you answers by seeing you in person.

My advice would be to see a prosthodontic specialist, maybe come and see Nick in our Harley Street practice, or a dentist of similar qualification and experience
Best of luck with it
