Treatment For Gaps Between Your Teeth In Bedford

Treatment For Gaps Between Your Teeth In Bedford

Unwanted gappy smile?

Celebrities like Madonna have made gaps between the teeth very appealing and desirable for some.

However, gaps between the teeth aren’t a feature some people want to maintain, and some people would prefer not to have any gaps between their teeth at all.

In some instances, gaps between the teeth can cause dental issues that can cause damage to the teeth over time and so need to be addressed.

Do you have gaps between your teeth that make you feel self conscious? Do you wish your smile could be gap free? If so, there are some excellent modern dentistry options available to you here at your Bedford dentist so you can get the smile you have always wanted.

Bridges

Depending on how many gaps you have, or where the gap is, it may be appropriate for a bridge to be fitted. A bridge may be all it takes to effectively ‘close the gap’, simply preparing adjacent teeth to support the crowns which hold the bridge in place.

Veneers

Veneers are used for a wide variety of reasons, because they can completely transform a smile. They are very thin sheets of porcelain which fit over prepared teeth, presenting teeth that are whiter, and the exact shape you desire. So they can be made wider to close the gaps between the natural teeth, creating the perfect gap-free smile!

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is an effective way to fill in various issues with the teeth, including gaps between the teeth. It works using a special material which is applied before a special light is used to harden it. It is a convenient and quick treatment which is also cost-effective compared to some other dental procedures. It won’t last as long as some treatments, but it is a good option if you want something done quickly and on a budget.

Partial Dentures and Implants

A partial denture can be used to take the place of one or several missing teeth and usually does not require any surgery. For a more permanent solution, you may wish to consider a dental implant which is a full replacement for a lost tooth and is incredibly strong and natural looking.

Teeth Straightening

Teeth straightening may be a more long term option you want to consider for closing the gaps between your teeth. Orthodontic treatments can help correct gappy, misaligned teeth on a permanent basis and could be a really good option for you if you’re not just looking to correct the ‘look’ of the gaps between your teeth, but rather close the gaps permanently.

It Starts With A Consultation

Before any treatments can be recommended, you will need to visit your Bedford dentist for a consultation. This helps us to check your dental health and assess your suitability for different treatments. This also enables you to ask any questions you may have, and to give us an idea of your expectations.

We can then provide you with a breakdown of treatments, costs and timescales. It may be that a combination of treatments is a more appropriate plan than just one single treatment and of course we will give you our professional opinion on the best options to get you the smile you have always dreamed of. Please call The Dental Centre Bedford on 01234819868 and one of our friendly team will be more than happy to book you a consultation at a time to suit you!
