If you’ve noticed small gaps between your teeth — particularly those front ones — and want a quick, cost-effective solution, dental bonding might be just what you need. At AAVO Dental, we specialize in conservative cosmetic treatments like bonding to help you achieve a more confident and natural-looking smile.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to your teeth to correct minor imperfections, including gaps, chips, discoloration, and more. The resin is molded and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth and then hardened using a special curing light.
Why Choose Bonding to Close Gaps?
- Non-invasive – No need for anesthesia or drilling.
- Fast – Usually completed in just one visit.
- Affordable – Less costly than veneers or orthodontics.
- Natural results – The resin blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
How Bonding Closes Tooth Gaps
Bonding material is applied to the inner edges of the two teeth adjacent to the gap. Your dentist will sculpt and smooth the resin so it fills the space evenly, creating a natural look without crowding your smile. Once shaped, the material is hardened and polished for a seamless finish.
This method is especially effective for:
- Diastema (a gap between the two upper front teeth)
- Small gaps that don’t require orthodontics
- Patients looking for a quick cosmetic fix
Benefits of Dental Bonding for Gap Closure
- Improves confidence and smile aesthetics
- Avoids lengthy orthodontic treatment
- Little to no tooth reduction
- Can be repaired or touched up easily
Q&A: Bonding to Close Spaces Between Teeth
Q: Is bonding permanent?
A: Dental bonding is not permanent but can last 5–10 years with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. It may eventually need touch-ups or replacement.
Q: Can bonding fix all types of gaps?
A: Bonding is ideal for small to moderate gaps. Larger gaps may require orthodontics or veneers. A consultation at AAVO Dental can help determine the best option for your smile.
Q: Will the bonding stain over time?
A: Yes, the resin can stain from things like coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. We recommend limiting these and maintaining regular cleanings.
Q: Is bonding painful?
A: Not at all. Bonding is minimally invasive and typically doesn’t require anesthesia.
Q: How long does the procedure take?
A: Most bonding appointments take 30–60 minutes per tooth and can be completed in a single visit.
Q: How do I care for bonded teeth?
A: Brush twice daily, floss, avoid biting hard objects, and maintain regular dental visits to ensure the bonding stays intact.
