🦷 How to Close Gaps Between Front Teeth Without Damaging Them
Minimally Invasive, Fast, and Natural-Looking Solutions from Seoul Prime Dental Clinic
Many people feel self-conscious about gaps between their front teeth.
In some cultures, a gap is even said to let your “luck slip away,” highlighting how deeply such concerns can affect confidence and self-esteem.
At Seoul Prime Dental Clinic, we’ve treated countless patients—both local and international—who want to close these gaps. Here’s what you should know about your options.
⭐ Common Treatments for Gapped Teeth
1. Porcelain Veneers (Laminate Treatment)
This is a popular solution, where a thin ceramic layer is placed over the tooth. However, the process requires grinding down part of the natural tooth surface, which can be a concern for many patients.
❗ Even “minimal prep” options like Minish are still technically veneers and involve some tooth reduction.
2. Composite Resin Bonding – A Conservative, Natural Approach
For small or moderate gaps, composite bonding offers a safe and effective alternative:
- No drilling or shaving required
- Completed in a single visit for one or two teeth
- More affordable than orthodontic or veneer options
Using a tooth-coloured resin material, we sculpt the ideal shape directly onto your natural tooth. As shown in our clinical cases, the results are beautiful and long-lasting.
🛠️ Note: The outcome heavily depends on the dentist’s skill and experience.
