Porcelain Veneer Treatment for Bulimia and/or Severe Wear
Severe wear and erosion of anterior teeth makes these teeth look very small.
Can porcelain veneers be used as treatment for bulimia and severe wear?
Absolutely! The tooth destruction due to the acid from bulimia or anorexia nervosa or severe wear from any other cause should be addressed before any permanent treatment is completed. You want the treatment to last! If tooth wear is due to acid in any form or due to bad habits such as clenching and grinding your teeth and this underlying cause of the wear is not addressed the problem will continue. Beautiful porcelain restorations are not any harder than natural enamel and the same problems could occur all over again.
Beauty and length is returned to the teeth with porcelain veneers.
