Veneers for Diastemas

by admin

What is diastema?

Diastema refers to a gap or space between the teeth. These spaces can form anywhere in the mouth but are sometimes noticeable between the two upper front teeth. This condition affects both adults and children. In children, gaps may disappear once their permanent teeth grow. Some gaps are small and barely noticeable, whereas other gaps are larger and a cosmetic issue for some people. If you don’t like the way the gap looks, there are ways to close it or reduce its size.

What are the advantages of veneers for diastema closure?

Veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the surface of your tooth to make it look better. They can be an alternative to crowns. Veneers can be made of porcelain or a resin composite material. Advantages with veneers include:

  • Natural appearance
  • Gum tissue tolerates porcelain veneers well
  • Porcelain veneers resist stains and can be whiter than your natural teeth color
  • Veneers don’t require as much reshaping of your real teeth as crowns do

How long will the veneer last?

Veneers can last for many years – but, they are not indestructible and can be chipped or damaged if treated roughly.
