What is a Gap Closing Procedure?
Smiles with noticeable spaces between the teeth, especially right in the middle, can be an aesthetic concern for many people. If you have a gap in your teeth that makes you feel self-conscious, there are cosmetic dental techniques that can eliminate the gap. A cosmetic dentist can provide results that make it look like the gap was never there at all.
Often, dentists use minimally invasive adhesive composite bonding techniques to fill the gap. This treatment requires no drilling, just very clever dental glue that hardens to look like your natural tooth structure. Depending on your needs and preferences, porcelain veneers or dental crowns can also be a viable option for a natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing result.
Diastema Treatment Benefits
- A smile that makes you feel confident
- An economical alternative to porcelain veneers
- The ability to speak clearly and confidently without a whistling sound
- Proper support on both sides of the teeth to keep them in place
- Minimally-invasive treatment options that do not require anaesthetic
