Gaps or Spacing Between Teeth

Gaps or Spacing Between Teeth
2
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 Kandharis 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 Kandharis 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.
