Dentistry Cosmetic procedures – Diastema closure is a cosmetic and restorative dental procedure that is employed to close an open space between the teeth, usually the front teeth of the upper jaw. This not only enhances your smile’s appearance but can also aid in preventing food trapping and promote better oral hygiene in some cases. Every smile makeover starts with a detailed consultation at Azura Dental to find out the cause of the gap and the most appropriate treatment.
For larger areas and most dental issues, composite bonding or porcelain veneers may be recommended. This quick and minimally invasive process involves placing a composite material in a controlled manner and polishing it so that it matches your other teeth, while at the same time providing tooth color. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are individually shaped and sized to enhance the form, size and appearance of your teeth, filling in larger gaps, and enhancing your smile. Both options will give an instant improvement in cosmetic appearance, and will give a natural appearance.

Can diastema closure fix all gaps?

Most small to moderate diastema will be closed successfully with diastema closure. If the space is related to other orthodontic, bite or dental problems, though, other treatments like braces or Invisalign may be suggested before cosmetic closure. In your initial appointment at Azura Dental, we will assess your teeth and recommend the best treatment program.

How long does diastema closure last?

The duration of closure of diastema is dependent on the treatment applied and the patient’s oral hygiene. With maintenance, a composite bonding can last for several years, and porcelain veneers for 10–15 years or more. Frequent dental visits, proper dental care, and avoiding hard foods or other habits that can lead to damage of the treatment increases the longevity of your care.

What are the risks of diastema closure?

With the care of highly trained dentists, diastema closure is a safe and predictable cosmetic dental procedure. Bonding materials can chip or stain with time and veneers can require replacement in many years. These risks can be reduced and good oral health achieved through regular dental checkups and an experienced dental team.

Can gaps naturally close?

Small gaps will close up on their own in children as the permanent teeth grow in and the jaws grow. In adults, however, gaps will not close spontaneously unless dentally treated. If the gap is caused by tooth size, tooth loss or gum issues, a professional treatment is most likely the way to a long-lasting beautiful smile.
