How Can I Close a Gap Between My Teeth without Braces?

Gaps between teeth are a common cosmetic concern that cause many of our patients to feel self-conscious about their smiles. For those who are hesitant to invest the time required for orthodontics, Dr. Kevin Sands offers cosmetic bonding, which can close most gaps between teeth without the need for braces. For this procedure, Dr Sands utilizes state-of-the-art, composite resin material to artfully widen and reshape the teeth to reduce gaps. The bonding material can be precisely matched to the exact shade of your teeth so that the enhancements blend seamlessly with your smile. Patients are generally very pleased with their cosmetic bonding results and often express a renewed sense of self-confidence after the procedure.

The cosmetic bonding process is quick and pricing is relatively economical when compared with other options such as porcelain veneers or Invisalign^®. However, the results of cosmetic bonding are not typically as resilient or long-lasting as those achieved with porcelain veneers or orthodontics. Bonding commonly has a lifespan of about five to ten years, depending on the materials used, maintenance, and other factors. Replacing existing bonding that no longer has an optimal appearance is also a fairly simple, cost-effective process that can produce transformative results.

If you are considering cosmetic bonding to close the gap between your teeth, we encourage you to contact our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Sands to explore your options. He will perform a full evaluation of your teeth and outline the various treatment plans he can use to improve your smile.
