Los Angeles Gap Teeth Elimination

One Simple Solution to Eliminate Gap Teeth

Gap teeth is a problem that many people have to deal with on a daily basis. It can cause lowered self-esteem and little smiling. A fast and reliable solution for fixing gap teeth is porcelain veneers. There are other cosmetic dental procedures out there and understanding the benefits of each will help with making a decision.

Porcelain veneers are an extremely thin shell that is bonded to the teeth to create any desired shape, size, and color. It is an excellent way to mask the imperfections of your teeth without having to go through a surgical procedure. The process is fast, taking about two dentist visits to complete.

Bonding gap teeth is another solution. A tooth-like composite is used to fill in the gap between the teeth. The benefits to this method is that it can be more affordable than veneers. However, the entire tooth will not be corrected, just the bonded portion. If there is an issue with the whole tooth, it will be harder to correct with bonding.

A dental crown is another method that can be used to fill the gap between teeth. This method is used to alter the entire size of the tooth. The whole tooth is shaved down so a prosthetic can be glued over the entire base. This will create a tooth sized to fill the gap. The issues with crowns is that they are permanent; the enamel can be almost completely shaved down in the process. Some veneers require enamel to be shaved down, but with many the process is entirely reversible.

When deciding what method is best to correct gap teeth, porcelain veneers, known as instant braces, can offer an immediate solution. They will correct the whole problem with the teeth without have to damage too much enamel. Discuss with a cosmetic dentist, such as Dr. Eddie Siman of Millennium Dental in Los Angeles, California, to determine what method is best to correct a gap between your teeth.
