Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but daily habits, diet, and other factors can cause gradual wear. At Pure Care Dentists in Hoofddorp we provide expert care and modern treatments for tooth wear (erosion, attrition, abrasion). Our goal is to protect your teeth, restore function, and maintain a healthy, natural smile for years to come.

Professional treatment helps protect your natural teeth, restore lost structure, and prevent future damage.
Treatment depends on the severity:
At Pure Care Dentists Hoofddorp, we always aim for biological and minimally invasive solutions – preserving as much natural tooth tissue as possible.
Most treatments are performed comfortably under local anaesthesia. You may experience mild sensitivity afterwards, but this usually disappears within a few days.
Prevention is key. Tips include:
Yes. With modern dental materials like composite and ceramic, worn-down teeth can be restored to their natural shape and strength.
Basic insurance does not cover restorative treatment for adults, but many supplementary dental insurance plans do. For children under 18, most restorative treatments are covered by the basic insurance.
No. Increasingly, tooth wear is seen in young adults due to acidic drinks, stress related grinding, and lifestyle factors.
At Pure Care Dentists Hoofddorp, we combine preventive advice, minimally invasive dentistry, and modern restorative techniques to manage tooth wear. Our team focuses on both protecting your teeth and restoring your smile in the most natural way possible.
