ā€œCan dental bonding fix gaps?ā€

I am a 62 year old male. I want to know if dental bonding can fix gaps?

Yes. Iā€™m assuming front teeth. But it depends on size of gaps and position of the teeth you want fixed. Too much forward, backward or side tipping and make it impossible. Plus how your teeth bite together. Go see your dentist and have a good conversation.

The short answer is yes. Obviously large gaps need a lot of bonding to be closed. Smaller gaps can be fixed with a much better cosmetic result.
It all depends on what you call Gaps ! That is if the distance is a minor area it can be camouflaged by small bonding however if there is an underlying issue such as bone loss that gad created this distance placing bonding could potentially create more issues and now loss . Please consult With your Doctor for the best solution to have Favorable results.
General answer is yes, but usually the wider the gap the more difficult to maintain esthetics and strength- porcelain then becomes a material which fulfills those challenges
It depends on the size and location of the gap, but for the most part, yes, bondings can fix the problem.

Have a nice day,

Yes, depending on how large they are. Larger gaps can be easily fixed by orthodontic treatment or ceramic crowns/veneers.
