When there is a gap between teeth,
there is an old saying that good fortune leaks away.
A gap between the front teeth
may vary in degree,
but it can look unappealing when smiling or speaking,
and in severe cases, it can affect pronunciation.
Also, depending on the situation,
it can make a person seem naive,
so it is true that it can be difficult to create a good first impression.
This kind of gap or space between teeth is called
"diastema."
Today, at Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
we will explain this in detail.
I have an important event coming up. Can something be done about the gap in my front teeth?
Under that reason,
the patient came to Shindaebang Dental Clinic.
So,
to make an accurate diagnosis,
we guided the patient to the treatment room.
At a glance,
you could see that the teeth were gapped.
So, at Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
we took photos and carried out an oral examination.

As you can see in the photo,
you can tell that there was a gap between the front teeth.
The patient was very worried,
thinking that they might not be able to smile because of an important event.
So at Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
to help solve the patient's concern,
we decided to improve the gap with resin contouring.
Gapped front teeth contoured seamlessly with resin
At Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
if the gap between the front teeth is not severe,
we can make them look better with resin.
Resin can reproduce the natural color of teeth,
so precise contouring is possible.
Because of that,
patient satisfaction after treatment is often high.
In addition,
in terms of cost,
it is less of a burden than other prosthetic options.
Since resin treatment can be completed in a single visit,
it is easy for people with busy social lives to access.
So,
at Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
we explained this situation to the patient,
and treatment was carried out with their consent.
Treatment process
Before starting treatment at Shindaebang Dental Clinic,
we checked the shade of the surrounding teeth.
This process helps produce a natural-looking result.
After that,
the teeth were cleaned thoroughly,
and air was blown over them
to dry off all moisture.
If this process is not done,
the material may not bond well
and can come off easily.
Also, because every patient has a different
tooth shape,
we did not overlook this part
and carefully built up the resin.

Looking at the photo above,
the gap between the teeth is nowhere to be seen
and has been neatly filled in.

After the treatment was completed in this way,
the patient said,
"I think I’ll be able to smile brightly,"
and was very happy.
Thanks to that,
it was a day that felt very rewarding.
In closing
Are you worried because you have spaces between your teeth?
Or do you find your gapped front teeth concerning because of a job that requires you to deal with many people?
If so,
we recommend a resin consultation,
which can make them look natural with a relatively simple procedure❗
Thank you for reading this long post.
