Can cosmetic dentistry fix gaps?

Yes, cosmetic dentistry offers several effective ways to close or disguise gaps between teeth, depending on their size and cause.

Small spaces can often be corrected quickly with composite bonding, in which tooth-coloured resin is sculpted to slightly widen the teeth and close the gap in a single visit. Slightly larger gaps can be treated with veneers, which cover the front surfaces of the teeth to change their width, shape and colour for a more even smile.

For greater spacing or when the bite needs correction, clear aligners or orthodontic braces may be recommended to gently move teeth into better positions.

At a cosmetic practice like Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre, our dentist will examine your teeth, discuss the look you want and suggest the most suitable option, including timescales, costs and likely longevity.
