The cause may be due to recession of the gum line, bone loss or movement of the teeth. The gaps and the dark spaces that they cause can make your teeth look old and can reduce the impact of your smile. Gaps between teeth are also prone to plaque build-up as they can allow food to get trapped there.
Diastema Closure is the process of closing the gap between the front teeth. The simplest method for doing this is to use composite filling material. This composite bonding material is shade matched and bonded to the teeth. This is a very simple non invasive treatment, without using needles and drilling any of the healthy tooth, and it is completely reversible. The composite material is shaped and polished by your dentist to give a very natural result.
The photos below show one of our patients who received this treatment combined with our teeth whitening service. This lady had been unhappy with this gap for many years and didn’t think that anything could be done to improve her smile. She was extremely pleased with the results.
The patient who received this treatment was very pleased with her new smile.
Orthodontic Treatment including Traditional braces or clear aligners, such as Invisalign, can be used to gradually shift the position of the teeth and close the gap. This method is often recommended for more severe cases where the teeth require significant movement. Invisalign and other teeth straightening dental treatments are available at FHDC.
