Bonding gaps performed three days before a wedding

The bride wanted a fast and cost-effective improvement to her smile in one visit. We offered her Sculpting – reshaping her teeth – and Cosmetic Bonding. The bonding was placed on her upper right canine to make it look like a lateral incisor. The treatment time was only 25 minutes. Shots were not needed because there was no pain.

The patient refused orthodontic treatment. The Veneer had pink porcelain around the gingival margin (gum) to hide its relative height. This treatment took only two short visits.

Bonding gaps to close spaces between teeth

One millimeter was prepared – drilled – into the mesio-lingual surface to add mechanical retention. Composite resin bonding was only added to the lingual surface. This allows labial enamel to naturally reflect light.

How bonding gaps between teeth is performed

Tooth bonding is used to close the space between the upper two front teeth. This space is also known as a diastema. The technique for teeth gap closure using dental composite resin is shown in these pictures.

Aesthetic dental bonding, a white tooth filling material, is used here to close teeth spaces or gaps

A 1 mm channel was prepared in the mesial surfaces of both teeth to add mechanical retention. Bonding was only added to the mesial surface and contoured around the gingival gum papilla.

Treatment time: about thirty minutes during one visit. There was no need for shots because there was no pain.

Cosmetic Dentistry (with extraction of a supernumerary tooth and dental bonding). Treatment time: one visit.

The supernumerary tooth was first prepared to open the interproximal area between the remaining teeth. Composite bonding was then placed interproximally on both teeth as if the supernumerary was already gone (this gives a clean field). Then the supernumerary tooth was extracted.

Teeth Bonding to close a teeth gap. It is always healthier for patient’s gums to create rounded, confluent gingival margins when bonding to close spaces. However, most patients would prefer not to see an open gingival embrasure. Discuss this with your patient after seeing where their lip line falls during conversation. A satisfactory compromise between health and esthetics is usually attainable.

Note how the eccentric shapes of the centrals were reduced and bonding was added to the mesio-incisal angles. Collectively, this makes the teeth appear straight.
