My Teeth are More Sensitive than Before, What are Available Solutions that can Help?
Tooth sensitivity can often be a sign that something is amiss, especially underlying items that can affect your overall dental health. Whether it’s a sharp jolt when sipping cold water or a lingering ache after enjoying something sweet, heightened sensitivity should be tackled right away. At Beverly Hills Dentistry, we take a comprehensive approach to uncovering the cause and providing personalized solutions. In many cases, treatments that are part of our advanced smile makeover process not only resolve sensitivity but also enhance the overall beauty and function of your smile.
Common Causes of Sensitivity
- Tooth sensitivity can stem from a variety of conditions, including:
- Enamel erosion from acidic foods or grinding
- Gum recession that exposes the root surface
- Cracks, chips, or worn restorations
- Decay or infection impacting the tooth structure
- Missing teeth or shifting bite alignment
Addressing these causes early is key to preventing long-term damage. That’s why our team integrates restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal treatments to create long-lasting relief.
Smile Makeover Treatments that Help with Sensitivity
Veneers
For patients whose enamel is worn or whose teeth are cracked or chipped, porcelain veneers offer both protection and beauty. These custom shells cover the visible surface of teeth, reducing sensitivity while creating a flawless, natural look. As part of our Signature and Elite Smile Makeover processes, veneers are designed with precision to restore harmony and strength.
Periodontics & Gum Grafting
When sensitivity is linked to receding gums, the underlying roots can become more vulnerable due to exposure. Our board-certified periodontist specializes in gum grafting procedures that rebuild the protective gum line, reducing discomfort while re-establishing a healthy foundation for your smile. This treatment is central to maintaining long-term oral stability.
Dental Implants
In cases where sensitivity comes from severe decay or tooth loss, dental implants provide the most advanced solution. Implants not only replace missing teeth but also prevent bone loss and shifting of the bite, which can cause secondary sensitivity. Our periodontist uses 3D-guided placement for optimal precision, ensuring seamless results that integrate perfectly with your overall smile makeover.
Oral Surgery & Full Restorations
Sometimes sensitivity indicates deeper issues—such as infection, impacted teeth, or structural instability—that require oral surgical solutions. From extractions to bone regeneration, these treatments address the source of pain while preparing your mouth for advanced cosmetic and restorative care. When combined with our smile makeover expertise, the results are both functional and aesthetic.
More Than Relief—A Transformation
At Beverly Hills Dentistry, our goal isn’t just to eliminate tooth sensitivity. We see every challenge as an opportunity to elevate your smile—bringing together comfort, confidence, and artistry. Whether through veneers, implants, gum grafting, or full smile makeovers, your treatment plan is crafted to resolve discomfort while achieving a radiant, long-lasting result.
