Patient has a large amount of wear which is not unusual in regional queensland. Farmers and operators seem to get more wear on the teeth due to the hot climate drying out the mouth and then dust being abrasive. After discussing the options advantages and disadvantages of ceramic and composite patient chose to have composite. Patient chose Composite resin with the advantages in this case being it will all be done in one appointment, they may just need some slight adjusting. Less preporation on the teeth, softer material so it will be gentle on the upper teeth, which will be a good thing as there are implants in the upper jaw Disadvantages will be that they will need replacing after about 7-8 years. The patient was happy with this. We removed all of the old filling material and place new composite resin direct veneers to cover the front, top and back of the teeth.
