Types of Cosmetic Smile Makeovers

Zirconia veneer

Diastema treatment
In cases where the gap between two teeth is narrow, a treatment method is used to close the gap using adhesive restorative materials.
The most common diastema treatment options include: braces, Invisalign, dental implants, dental bonding, dental veneers, and dental crowns.
If the diastema is the result of gum disease, surgery may be recommended as a treatment option.
