• If you didn't go to dental school, then you've
  probably never heard of a diastema. However, it
  can make you feel awfully insecure about your
  smile until you see a cosmetic dentist.
• So, what is it? Saying you have a diastema is a
  fancy way of saying that you have a gap in
  between your teeth. Lots of times, a diastema
  will pop up in between your two front teeth, but
  these gaps can occur anywhere.

• Where do diastemas come from? In some cases,
  they're a byproduct of genetics. If your jaw is
  too big for your teeth, your teeth may spread
  apart to cover all of that excess space.
• Diastemas can also be caused by tissue problems.
  If your labial frenum is too big -- that's the
  tissue in between your gum and the inside of your
  lip -- it can create extra space in between your
  teeth. But, this can be fixed by a good Los
  Angeles cosmetic dentist.

• If your diastema is very small -- as in, less
  than 1 mm -- your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist
  might be able to get away with using a special
  bonding material to plug the gap.
• However, veneers are one of the most popular
  options for covering up diastemas. These thin
  pieces of porcelain fit right over the front of
  your teeth.

• Another option your cosmetic dentist has is to
  use crowns. Like veneers, crowns can cover up
  your diastemas. But unlike veneers, crowns go
  over your entire tooth -- almost like a little
  cap.
• If an oversized labial frenum is to blame, the
  treatment is a little trickier -- but you'll
  still be able to get rid of your diastemas. To
  do it, though, your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist
  will have to start by performing surgery on the
  area. Then, he can use veneers or crowns to
  completely cover up the gap and perfect your
  smile.
