Gaps in the teeth are sometimes referred to as diastema. This is a common problem which can greatly affect your self-confidence and make you feel anxious about laughing or smiling as you normally would. This concern may even indicate an underlying health issue which could require further attention.
Our practice offers a range of bespoke options if you wish to close a gap in your teeth, depending on the cause, size, location and your individual wishes.
Gaps in the teeth can be the result of many different causes. In some cases, gaps in the teeth can indicate gum disease, which can worsen if it is not assessed and treated properly. Gum disease can lead to discomfort and pain, particularly while eating. If untreated, gum disease could cause wider gaps and the loosening or even the loss of teeth.
