How It Works

A diastema (tooth gap) can be closed with several treatments depending on the gap size and your goals. Bonding is the fastest and cheapest option for small gaps. Veneers give the most aesthetic result. Orthodontics (Invisalign or braces) permanently move teeth and fix multiple alignment issues.

The Formula

Treatment Cost = Base Cost x Number of Gaps (bonding/veneers) or flat fee (ortho)
Out-of-Pocket = Treatment Cost x (1 - Insurance %)

Variables

Bonding — Composite resin fills the gap, 1 visit ($300-$700/gap)
Veneers — Wider veneers on both teeth flanking gap ($1,700 x 2)
Orthodontics — Move teeth together permanently ($3,000-$7,000)

Example

A 2mm gap between front teeth: bonding costs $500 (1 visit), veneers cost $3,400 (2 visits), Invisalign costs $4,000 (6 months).

Tips

Gaps over 4mm typically need orthodontics for a stable, long-term result
Bonding on gap teeth needs replacement every 5-7 years
If you have other alignment issues, Invisalign fixes the gap plus other problems
Frenectomy (removing tissue between front teeth) may be needed to prevent gap recurrence
