Diastemas are the small spaces between the front teeth that often is a cosmetic embarrassment, causing the person to lose confidence and stop smiling, laughing and talking naturally. They can be closed with composites, porcelain veneers, or orthodontic treatment (braces). Diastema closure with composite is an ultra conservative procedure wherein tooth-colored resin is bonded to the teeth to close the gaps between teeth. The process is typically completed in one appointment without the need for drilling or anesthesia: The teeth are polished, etched, and coated with a bonding agent to ensure the composite adheres properly. Layers of composite resin are sculpted on it by hand or using specialized matrices to close the space while maintaining a natural shape. A specialized curing light is used to harden the composite layer by layer. The restoration is then shaped, smoothed, and polished for a seamless, natural finish. Advantages: Immediate: Completed in a single visit. Conservative: Does not require removing healthy tooth enamel. Cost-Effective: Being cheaper than porcelain veneers or braces. However, aftercare is needed as composite resin is more prone to staining than natural enamel and porcelain, and more susceptible to chipping or wear than porcelain veneers. To prolong the lifespan of your composite bonding, it is advisable to brush and floss daily , avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or hard candy or using your front teeth to tear things open. Bi-annual visits to your dentist for cleaning and polishing of the composite also prolongs the life of the direct veneers.
