New Orleans Tooth Gap

Porcelain Veneers

If a tooth gap is large, using tooth bonding to close it can cause your teeth to look bulky and large. Several teeth will need to be reshaped for a large gap, so porcelain veneers will produce a better result. Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. The veneers are custom made for you in a color and shape that make them look like your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers can be placed in as few as two weeks. They are more expensive than tooth bonding, but the results are beautiful.

Braces

Braces are a third way to close a tooth gap. Braces will move the teeth closer together, eliminating the gap. Unlike tooth bonding and porcelain veneers, with braces nothing artificial is permanently attached to your teeth. But braces are the most expensive option for closing your gap, they are uncomfortable, and depending on the size of the space between your teeth, it can take several months to two years to close it.
