A member asked:
How would a dentist fill in a one and one half millimeter space between the 2 front teeth? or, in your experience, would you just leave it alone?

Bonding: There are several ways to close a space and the treatment would depend on the rest of your teeth and personal preference. Bonding is an excellent conservative method but veneers or invisalign would be other options.

Why space?: Is space because of tooth size discrepancy, positional malocclusion, or gum disease allowing teeth to migrate? Must first determine cause before deciding on appropriate treatment. Ask your dentist to diagnose your particular problem and then suggest the best solution choices.
