Broken and worn-down teeth are a real threat to your oral and overall health. While a broken tooth is usually obvious, a worn-down tooth may not be so easy to recognize, which means it’s even more important to have your dentist check your teeth if you notice any of the following issues:
Visible holes, pitting, chips, cracks in the enamel
Increased or persistent tooth sensitivity
Noticeable discoloration/changes in appearance
Translucent appearance
Some wear is subtle, so you need a dentist to check for signs that may not be easy to see at home. We are ready to help! Contact us today to schedule your consultation.




Poor oral hygiene is a very common cause of tooth deterioration. If you do not take care of your teeth at home or visit a dentist at least twice a year for checkups and cleanings, your chance of experiencing premature wear and tear on your teeth is much higher.

Some people are just more predisposed to oral health problems, including breakage and premature wear. Their teeth are naturally more fragile because of inherited health conditions or their genetic makeup.

If you have an overbite, an underbite, a crossbite, or a TMJ disorder, your teeth will wear unevenly and be more prone to breaking.

When you habitually clench and grind your teeth, clinically known as bruxism, the added stress and pressure will cause them to break and wear down.

Acid eats away at tooth enamel. So, people who drink a lot of colas, alcohol, or sugary beverages throughout the day can experience excessive tooth wear.

Acid reflux, chronic digestive issues, and eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia, will cause your teeth to erode away and become fragile due to constant exposure to acid and possible malnutrition.
Worn-down and broken teeth can seriously jeopardize your health. These conditions often cause pain and discomfort, and when not treated, they also make it much easier for damaging tooth decay to get deeper into your teeth, possibly reaching the roots, your jawbone, and even your bloodstream. From there, the infection can quickly spread to other organs and systems in your body.

Dr. Lee Brown of Freedom Dental of West Chester is known for looking deeper, and Laura’s story is a perfect example of why that matters. After years of dealing with broken and chipped teeth, ongoing jaw pain, and what felt like a constant cycle of fixes, Laura was ready for a real solution, not another temporary repair.
Rather than simply covering up the damage, Dr. Brown focused on identifying the underlying reason everything kept breaking down. The goal was clear: get Laura out of pain, restore peace of mind, and help her reach a healthy, stable place she could feel confident about as she and her husband prepare for an active retirement.
The result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile and long-term stability. Laura shares that her teeth look amazing and that she feels happier and more confident than ever. In fact, people do not ask if she had dental work done. They simply tell her she looks younger, healthier, and happier. Today, Laura is in a steady, healthy state and comes in for routine visits knowing her smile is built to last.

Treating broken and excessively worn teeth is a two-stage process.

Cosmetic and Restorative treatments, including Veneers, Bonding, Dental Implants, Crowns & Bridges, Orthodontic Treatment, or Full Mouth Rehabilitation will change the aesthetics of your teeth by covering or patching damaged areas, replacing teeth that are no longer viable, or moving them into alignment. However, these treatments alone are not enough to keep the problem at bay forever. The root cause of the wear and breakage needs to be addressed, or else the problem will keep recurring.


Your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, your jaw, and your mouth, take X-rays, and ask questions about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits as well as your medical history to determine why your teeth are broken or excessively worn down. From there, they will devise a plan to help you correct the underlying issue and make sure your newly-restored teeth stay looking and feeling great for as long as possible. They may recommend lifestyle changes or certain oral appliances, or both, depending on the root cause of your oral health problems.
