Gappy teeth

[Ed]

Hello

I wonder if you could help me. I suffer from gappy teeth which have always been a concern to me and I have always wanted to at some stage close the gaps between my teeth to make them look more natural.

I have looked into the various options that I have and have also been to see my dentist for a consultation. My dentist says that I could have porcelain veneers to close the gaps between my teeth.

On your website I have also seen that you do composite veneers which are a lot cheaper than porcelain veneers and Invisalign which could close the spaces without any veneers.

I would like to know which option you would recommend for my teeth. Obviously it seems that all of these options have pros and cons but my main priority is to have natural looking teeth. I would be grateful for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Probably the best option which would allow to achieve a good aesthetic result and to close the gappy teeth ( as you put them) is the option of porcelain veneers. It may be possible to do composite veneers, but one must notice that composite veneers do not look as good as porcelain veneers and they are not always recommended.

Which type of veneers would be the best option for you again has to be assessed clinically after examination of your bite and occlusion. Then we would be able to tell you about the best option.
