Years of daily use, teeth grinding, or bite misalignment can gradually wear away enamel—leaving teeth shorter, flatter, and more sensitive. Over time, this can change your bite, strain your jaw, and affect the overall appearance of your smile. Treating ground-down teeth restores both comfort and confidence, helping you eat, speak, and smile naturally again.
At DiQuattro Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Ryan DiQuattro helps patients throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix restore worn teeth as part of full mouth rehabilitation. Through meticulous planning and state-of-the-art materials, he rebuilds tooth structure to restore balance, strength, and aesthetics to your smile.
