Gap Closure

Gap closure, also known as diastema closure, is a dental procedure aimed at closing spaces or gaps between teeth. This treatment is beneficial for improving smile aesthetics and can be achieved through various cosmetic dentistry techniques.

Techniques for Gap Closure

There are several techniques used for closing gaps between teeth:

• Dental Bonding: Using tooth-colored composite resin to fill in the gap.
• Dental Veneers: Thin porcelain shells that cover the front surface of teeth to close gaps.
• Orthodontic Treatment: Using braces or aligners to gradually move teeth together and close gaps.
• Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps that cover teeth to close gaps and improve tooth alignment.

Benefits of Gap Closure

Gap closure offers several benefits:

• Enhances smile aesthetics
• Improves chewing and speech functions
• Prevents food from getting trapped in gaps, reducing the risk of oral health problems
