Hi, my name is Tori, I’m only 16 and I’m currently working my butt off at an ice cream store to try and save up to get a minor gap in my two front teeth fixed. I was wondering if Lumineers or porcelain veneers would be right for me though? I would only want my two front teeth to be done since they are the ones with the gap in between but being so young I want something thats going to last for as long as possible.
Thankyou,
Tori.
Tori,
The best and least expensive way to close a gap between your two front teeth, if it isn’t too large, is with direct tooth bonding, where composite resin is bonded to your teeth and is colored and shaped to match the existing teeth.
Many dentists aren’t comfortable with doing this because they don’t have enough artistic ability. But it works very well, and if it’s done right will last for many years. Dr. Goldstein is comfortable doing direct tooth bonding and does a beautiful job.
