Gaps Between Teeth
Unsightly and uncomfortable gaps between your teeth can easily be corrected and Dr. Kleive offers many options for this. He will listen carefully to your goals and values and then make his recommendation.
Benefits of Correcting Gaps
Gaps between your teeth can cause pain when you chew, they may distort your speech or cause whistling when you try to pronounce certain letters, and they can trap food which leads to tooth decay.
Correcting the gaps can increase the beauty of your smile, giving you a healthier, younger look. It will relieve the pain that gaps can cause and protect your teeth from more serious damage.

Options for Correcting Gaps
If misaligned teeth (possibly misaligned because they have shifted due to missing teeth), are the problem then you may want to consider tooth straightening solutions such as Invisalign.
If your teeth are basically in good alignment, we can easily fill a small gap with dental bonding. The teeth on either side of the gap would be built up to create a natural looking restoration.
Small gaps can be covered with porcelain veneers. Both dental bonding and porcelain veneers can be used to cover other dental flaws during the same procedure.
You can learn more about your options for correcting gaps between teeth during your free initial consultation. Please contact us today to schedule your meeting with Dr. Kleive. Our office serves the St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota area and we look forward to meeting you.
