How to fix gaps between teeth

Teeth gaps can be repaired using several different methods, and the specific choice depends on the size and location of the gap, as well as the individual's oral health condition.

Dental veneers are suitable for larger gaps. A dentist will bond a thin layer of ceramic or composite material to the tooth surface to improve its appearance. For smaller gaps, dentists can directly fill the space with composite resin that closely matches the tooth color. This method is quick and cost-effective. If the gap is caused by misaligned teeth, traditional metal brackets, ceramic brackets, or invisible aligners may be required to adjust the tooth position and close the gap.

If the tooth gap is large or there are other severe dental issues, dental crowns may be considered. Crown placement involves removing part of the tooth structure, after which a slightly larger crown is fabricated to fill the gap. This method can effectively repair large tooth gaps, but it also requires some tooth reduction.

Patients are advised to visit a dental clinic for an initial consultation and choose the most suitable restoration method based on their individual condition.
