Gaps in your teeth that catch your eye in the mirror when you smile can gradually begin to become something that affect your confidence.
If you’re thinking about acting to address a gap in your smile, we’ve outline the cheapest options to address this below. Read on to learn about your options.
The cheapest way to close gaps in your teeth
The cheapest way to address small gaps in your teeth is with composite bonding. This is treatment that doesn’t involve the use of a brace or set of aligners.
Composite bonding at Denpure starts at just £195, which is one of the most competitive rates for a dentist in Uxbridge and indeed the whole of London.
Why is composite bonding so cheap for fixing gaps?
Composite bonding doesn’t involve any of the following:
– Anaesthetic
– Drilling
– Digital impression taking
– The involvement of an off-site dental lab
For this reason, it’s one of the most affordable ways to closing gaps in your teeth, but how does it achieve this without braces or aligners?
How does composite close gaps in my teeth?
Composite bonding is the process of using tiny pieces of tooth-coloured composite to reshape your teeth. These are placed onto healthy natural tooth structure with a strong adhesive to bond them in place.
Using these, your dentist can close small gaps in your teeth giving the illusion of a straighter smile, despite no orthodontic treatment having taken place.
Composite bonding is most effective for closing gaps of approximately 1-2mm, and it is principally for addressing gaps between the teeth most visible when you smile. It is possible to close larger gaps of between 2-3mm, though this requires a great level of skill from a cosmetic dentist (such as our ‘Composite Queen’ Dr Roshani Dali). Dr Roshani has completed countless composite bonding cases for patients, including those that are highly complex, involving the placement of composite resins in larger gaps.
Are there other cheap options for closing gaps in my teeth?
We also offer competitive rates on clear aligner treatment using the prestigious Invisalign aligners.
Our Invisalign prices are beneath the national average, which ranges between £2500 and £5000. Here at our dentist in Uxbridge, we offer Invisalign for just £2850, so it’s really worth enquiring if you’re seeking the most cost-effective solution for addressing larger gaps in your teeth.
Invisalign is a fully metal-free brace system that closes gaps in your teeth using a sequence of customised and removable transparent aligners. It works by remodelling the teeth by exerting gentle pressure.
Invisalign takes an average of 12 months to complete, though it can take less time if you only have minor gaps in your teeth.
Composite bonding and Invisalign – do they work together for closing gaps?
Yes, in fact this is becoming a very popular treatment combination.
For patients with larger gaps, we recommend Invisalign to address these. If you wish to make adjustments to the shape of the teeth being realigned, this can be completed with composite bonding afterwards, enhancing the results of Invisalign to the absolute maximum. You can even go one step further and choose to have whitening as part of this process too.
For treatment packages such as this (Invisalign + composite bonding + teeth whitening), we can offer competitive rates, should you decide you would like this combination from the get-go.
We will be sure to go through all of your options at your consultation, and let you know how the costs breakdown for this combination as a package.
