I Have Diastema Which Really Bothers Me. Could I Have Dental Surgery To Correct This? I Don’t Braces Again.

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014
Q.

Dr Riten Patel. I have diastema and it has been bothering me for a while but I do not want to get braces again (Yes, I’ve had braces before). I visited a dentist recently and they said the fastest treatment was fast braces but then again it’s still braces. I hope to believe that teeth correction surgery exists and I hope you can or know someone who performs surgery to straighten teeth quickly. I am pretty sure it is expensive so if it exists can I please get a price estimate so I can know what to work with? Thank you.

I need some cosmetic bonding done, how should I choose a dentist?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello

I have an upper midline diastema which has been filled with composite on a few occasions over the past 16 years. My bonds are worn again and my new dentist says she can replace them.

I am unsure because my dental surgeon has only been qualified as a BDS for nearly 3 years. Do you think she will be competent or does this type of work require a cosmetic dentist? I have only been quoted £36 for this treatment which seems unrealistically cheap too.

Any information would be so much appreciated.

Many thanks.

A.

Can lumineers cover the gap between my two upper front teeth?

Friday, January 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi Kailesh

I have a diastema between my two upper front teeth. The gap is about half the width of one tooth. I’m reluctant to have braces and would like to know what cosmetic solutions could be used. Apart from the diastema my teeth are healthy so i dont really want lots of drilling for traditional veneers. Could Lumineers be the answer? Approx how much would this cost to get done in the UK. Thanks.

A.
Lumineers would not close the … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
