Spacing
Diastema is a space or gap between
two teeth. The term is most commonly applied to an open space
between the upper incisors (front teeth).
Cause
Diastema occurs when there is an
unequal relationship between the size of the teeth and the
jaw. It is sometimes caused or exacerbated by the action of a
labial frenulum (the tissue connecting the lip to the gum),by
tongue thrusting or spreading of teeth due to periodontal
diseases.
Treatment
There are two options of treating
diastema or spacing in between the teeth:
First involves orthodontically moving the teeth(braces) and this line of treatment usually requires 10-12 months for correction.
Second involves placement of porcelain veneers or metal free crowns.
Porcelain veneers are eggshell thin pieces of porcelain applied directly over the tooth structure after some initial tooth preparation. Once the porcelain veneers are fused to the underlying tooth structure, they can reestablish the look of straight teeth and can close spaces without the use of braces. Additionally, the color, shape, and size of the teeth can be altered to the wishes of the patient for overall smile enhancement. And the greatest advantage of porcelain veneers is that the treatment can be completed in only two painless visits.

FAQs
Gaps between the teeth can be
closed by either pulling the teeth together with braces
orthodontically or cosmetically by placing porcelain
laminates, lumineers or metal free crowns. If only
spacing is a problem then either of it is a good option;
however if teeth are malformed or missing resulting in
the presence of gaps then directly going in for cosmetic
correction is a more viable option.
It is an artistic method to align
your teeth and beautify your smile. In this we design
the crowns so as to close the gaps between the teeth.
Laminates and Lumineers are relatively non invasive
methods of achieving gap closure along with change in
colour and shape of the teeth when the teeth are
perfectly aligned.
Orthodontically correcting the
teeth requires 7-8months while cosmetic correction is
achieved within 7-10 days.
The cost depends on the type and
quality of materials involved. You can visit the
treatment charges section and crowns/dental laminates
sections for further information.
As we numb the tissues and then
the teeth during the procedure and you will be leaving
the dental clinic with temporaries there is no fear of
pain either during or after the procedure.
All cosmetic treatments involve
CAD CAM technology and metal free materials
(porcelain/zirconia) that ensure precise fit and
translucency (naturality).
Cosmetic dentistry requires
thorough knowledge of the esthetic principles, a keen
eye for esthetics and knowledge of handling superior
materials such as rubber base, light body, bonding
cements etc that play a key role in the outcome. Also,
the art involves expertise in methodical sequencing of
treatment to reduce the no. of visits and providing
esthetics without compromising the integrity of the
tooth. Hence, a Master’s degree and high experience of
the concerned dentist are always recommended.
YES. The crowns/ laminates are
permanently bonded onto the teeth.

examination I felt relaxed with the kind and gentle
approach of everyone since the moment I stepped in.
Finally when I met Dr Shetty, I felt at ease. I was
explained about my treatment plan and I got better in
just 3 days time. Prices are very reasonable. Thank you
