Teeth easily become damaged and need to be restored with dental treatments to prevent oral infections, tooth decay and gum disease. There are many factors that contribute to teeth becoming damaged, including the effects of ageing.

Damaged teeth

Poor oral hygiene may lead to acidic bacterial build-up in saliva that erodes dental enamel, breaking down the tooth’s structure. Eating excessively sugary and acidic foods may have a similar effect.

Habits that weaken tooth makeup include incorrect teeth brushing technique, teeth grinding and smoking. Changing our habits may improve the condition of our teeth and gums.

Oral injuries from sport, accidents or assaults may also lead to damaged teeth that need treatment to prevent further oral trauma and illness. Wearing a mouth guard during sport may protect teeth from damage.

Restoring damaged teeth

At Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool we offer individuals choices in tooth restorations ranging from white fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns to dental bridges and implants.

Our porcelain crowns are particularly popular for restoring teeth following root canal treatment to remove infection, or to strengthen tooth structure. Teeth may chip, fracture or break causing further damage to gum tissue and bite function.

Having teeth restored with a dental crown, whether made of porcelain, gold or zirconium ensures that the existing tooth enamel is preserved and the inner tooth dentition protected from infection-causing bacteria. Damaged teeth, if left untreated, may lead to gum disease and tooth loss.
