Our patient Leslie had lived with a significant gap (also called a diastema) between her two front teeth for many years. She came to us because of our reputation in being able to address cosmetic concerns such as these. After a brief consultation, we elected to use bonding to close the gap.
Here is a pre-op photo:

In bonding, we are able add tooth colored material to the teeth to close gaps, fix white spots, and do other cosmetic enhancements. In the case, of Leslie, this procedure took approximately 1 hour to complete. So in one hour, she left a changed woman!

We feel the photos speak for themselves. It can be hard to believe that a one hour investment of her time to close her diastema would result in such a profound effect on her smile and overall confidence. Below are the before and after photos joined together:

As mentioned, we were able to spend an hour that would then change Leslie’s smile for a lifetime. Not a bad investment if you ask us.
