Can the gaps between my teeth be closed by dental bonding ?

Q. Hi, My teeth are healthy, the problem is that there are gaps between them ……can these gaps be closed by bonding? thanks

A. Gaps between teeth can certainly be treated with bonding. The great advantage is that in most cases no tooth cutting is required. The process is very technique sensitive to get a good long-lasting result. Done well the bonding can blend into the surrounding teeth to produce a very aesthetic result.

If you have white restorative material bonded to your teeth you need to be aware that in the future the join can stain and the bonding fail. However it can simply and easily be replaced when this occurs.

A far more permanent solution to this problem would be veneers. The main downside is that they do require some tooth shaping. It may be of interest for you to know that I have veneers on my teeth. this is how much I believe in this sort of treatment to solve these cosmetic problems.
