Tooth gaps are a sore spot for some people and a trait that they’d rather give up. While small gaps may add character to a smile, a sizable gap can make you self-conscious about your smile.

At my Boulder, Colorado dental practice, we offer several solutions for fixing gapped teeth. Depending on the size and position of your gap, and how it affects your neighboring teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry can be very effective for improving both the appearance and function of your teeth.

• Invisalign braces — These clear, plastic aligners work to gently realign teeth in order to close gaps and relax overcrowding. Once treatment is finished, your teeth will be in a more advantageous position, giving you the ability to use them more effectively and creating a more attractive appearance.

• Porcelain veneers — Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that sit on the front surfaces of teeth. They can cover several teeth at once, effectively masking small gaps and other physical issues. While veneers do create a natural-looking solution, they are recommended for appearance improvement only and should not be used in instances where a gap is causing chewing or speaking problems.

• Dental implants — If you have large gaps that exist due to lost teeth, a dental implant is the cosmetic dentistry option that comes closest to having a real tooth. Dental implants are anchored to the jawbone and shaped to look just like your natural teeth. If you fill in a gap with an implant, you can minimize jawbone loss, regain full chewing power, and stop neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.

A dramatic smile restoration was once so cost-prohibitive and rarely available that only Hollywood stars or wealthy individuals indulged. Today, the landscape of cosmetic dentistry has changed, allowing anyone with the desire to alter their smile appearance the opportunity to do so. Gapped teeth, discoloration, uneven spacing, and crooked teeth are just a few of the issues that can be corrected during a professional smile rejuvenation.

As you seek a remedy for your smile problems, keep in mind that the quality of cosmetic dentistry can vary greatly among dental providers. The key to bringing your ideal smile vision to reality, and keeping the total cost within your budget, is to find a cosmetic dentist who has the skill, experience, and compassion necessary to accomplish these goals.

At our state-of-the-art smile makeover center in Boulder, Colorado, my team and I work one-on-one with patients like you every day to design beautiful, stunning smiles.

The smile makeover process begins with an in-depth discussion of your smile and dental health, including the aspects that you like and dislike. As we get to know you as a person, the changes needed will become apparent. After our initial meeting, we’ll do a complete oral examination, including X-rays and physical review. If there are any structural issues hiding beneath the surface, we will let you know what we can do to strengthen and protect your teeth as we move forward with your personalized smile design.
