“What do dentists use to fill gaps?”

Many choices. You can close all the spaces or close all the spaces together into one space and add another tooth or ADD to the edges of the teeth to make them all a little bigger or put crowns or veneers on all the front teeth making them larger to close the spaces.

The gap between the front teeth is called diastema. Depending on the circumstances and how large the gap is, we offer different options like: Veneers (porcelain or composite), braces, composite fillings, or sometimes nothing!

Dentists will typically use composite resin filling material and a technique called "dental bonding" to close gaps between front teeth. While this is a cost-effective approach, dental bondings can chip easily and fall off.

More durable solutions for closing gaps between teeth include porcelain veneers and crowns or caps. Unfortunately, these cosmetic options are far more costly.
