If you are self-conscious about the presence of a gap between teeth in your smile, remedies are available. Whether the gap is caused by an uneven row of teeth, an abnormally small tooth, or some other condition, you can work with your dentist to have it covered up. Because multiple approaches, like dental bonding, exist for treating this problem, you can talk to your dentist about the procedure that best addresses your needs. Some cosmetic remedies can take longer, or be more involved, but they may offer additional benefits.

Bonding

Dental bonding is a process where your dentist will affix a special resin to your tooth, which is crafted to treat any issues with the shape, or the look, of that tooth. If you have a gap between teeth due to an abnormally small tooth, bonding can make it appear larger, and hide unnatural spacing.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can make a permanent improvement to your smile. After examining your teeth, your dentist can have a custom-made, semi-translucent shell that will be bonded to your teeth. While this process can is expensive than bonding, it can address the appearance of multiple teeth, and provides long-lasting benefits.

Invisalign

If a gap between teeth is caused by dental misalignment, Invisalign can help by bringing your teeth into the proper arrangement. Unlike braces, Invisalign offers orthodontic assistance that is difficult to detect. They can also be removed, which makes eating and brushing easier than with braces. By using a series of clear oral trays, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth until you have the straight, attractive smile you desire.
