A concern we treat
Gaps between teeth
Close a gap in an afternoon with bonding, or for good with aligners — the right answer depends on why it is there.
In short
A small gap (a diastema) can be closed quickly and reversibly with composite bonding, added directly to the teeth either side. Larger or multiple gaps, or gaps caused by the way the teeth sit, are usually better closed by moving the teeth with clear aligners so the result is stable.
At your consult we look at the cause, not just the gap, so we recommend the approach that will actually hold — and we will always flag when the quick option is not the lasting one.
Your options
How we'd approach it
Usually more than one treatment can help — the right one depends on the cause. Here are the routes we'd weigh with you.
Cosmetic
Composite bonding
Reshape and refresh in a single visit — reversible, and kind to your enamel.
from $350 / toothOrthodontics
Clear aligners
Straighten first, restore less — often the most conservative route to a better smile.
from $2,800Cosmetic
Porcelain veneers
Hand-layered porcelain, designed to your face — not a row of identical tabs.
from $1,600 / veneerWorth knowing
A single small gap is often a one-visit bonding case; wider spacing is usually an aligner case.
