Gaps or Spacing Between Teeth
                     Gaps or Spacing 
Between Teeth
I often come across patients frustrated with 
gaps or spacing between the teeth. They 
want to close these gaps but do not want to 
undergo braces or orthodontic treatment.
They feel it will be a long and painful process 
and the long term commitment scares them. 
And often they are unaware of other options.
There are various other treatment 
modalities which can work really well, if 
spacing is the only issue.
Tooth colored composite 
restorations 
This can be done in a single sitting and is 
completely painless and easy. With the 
correct shade matching and good finishing, 
this is a fabulous option for diastema 
closures.
The only downfall is composite can get 
stained or discolored over time. But, 
otherwise this is a simple and fast option for 
spacing issues between teeth.
 Ceramic crowns —
In some cases when the gaps are extensive 
or very large, than giving aesthetic tooth 
colored ceramic crowns is a great option.
This is a long term and permanent solution 
wherein the gaps can be completely closed 
in a highly aesthetic manner.
 Ceramic Veneers — 
This is a great option for diastema closures 
and we at Dr Kandhari’s Skin and Dental 
Clinic make highly aesthetic Emax ceramic 
veneers.
This has the advantage of Minimal tooth 
preparation, thereby saving more of the 
natural tooth. At the same time, very 
aesthetic and beautiful results are possible.
Dental Implants — 
When the gaps or spacing is more in such 
cases implants give a good result.
In such a situation just fillings or crowns may 
not be able to close the spaces or may 
appear unnatural. Than placing Implants and 
giving artificial teeth can give a beautiful 
result.
At Dr Kandhari’s Skin and Dental clinic we do 
a computer guided 3D implant placement. 
This is a much smaller surgery with a faster 
healing and less discomfort for the patient.
Orthodontic treatment — 
 If the spacing is generalized with multiple 
gaps between the teeth, complete 
orthodontic therapy is a good option.
So if you have 
gaps or spaces between the teeth, please go 
ahead and fix your appointment with the 
dentist.
There are many easy, painless and non 
invasive options available to fix your smile.
