Closing Spaces
The term "diastema" is used to refer to any space (gap) that lies between two teeth. From a standpoint of function and dental health these types of gap-toothed situations do not pose a problem. In regards to cosmetic appearances, however, some patients find them unappealing.
Tooth bonding and/or crowns provide a couple of different ways we can "close" (fill in) a diastema. Dental bonding or a crown can be placed on the two teeth that lie on each side of the gap so to reduce the gap's overall width. Depending on its original size, we can determine how many teeth need to be altered to close the space the using the most aesthetically pleasing technique.
