Say Goodbye to Teeth Gaps or Diastema (For Good)
If you’ve found this blog, you probably hate your gapped teeth, which never closed on their own as you got older.
Or perhaps you’re noticing new gaps forming between teeth due to gum disease and gum recession?
It’s not essential to treat gapped teeth, but they can lead to oral health problems, including bacterial growth and plaque buildup.
If you’re not comfortable with your gapped teeth, fixing them couldn’t be easier with the latest innovations in cosmetic dentistry.
- 1-hour treatments for small gaps
- Minimally invasive option
- Prices from £295 / £24.58 per month (composite bonding)

Three ways to fix spaces between teeth
Our cosmetic dentists usually recommend three types of cosmetic procedures to close gaps between teeth (two of which do not involve braces or aligners).
All of which are available on 0% finance or longer terms extending to 60 months.
Composite bonding
- £295 per tooth
- £24.58 per month (0%)
- 1-hour treatment
- Gaps of 0.5mm or less
Completed in a single visit to the dentist, composite bonding is fast, quick, and cost-effective.
However, despite its benefits, composite bonding will not last forever and must be renewed every five to seven years.
However, it’s easy to maintain and replace, offers a faster process than porcelain veneers, and you won’t need to wear a retainer.
Dental veneers
- Composite and porcelain options
- Prices from £350 per tooth
- From £29.16 per month (0%)
- Same-day treatment with composite, three-week treatment with porcelain
- Gaps between 1-3mm (sometimes larger)
Dental veneers are an effective way to address multiple smile issues in one.
Offering a solution for chipped, discoloured and gapped teeth, veneers are likely one of your best long-term solutions.
Veneers are available in two materials: composite or porcelain. Composite veneers can save patients money, but they also benefit from better durability than porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers typically last up to 15 years, while composite veneers typically last up to 7 years. Explore costs in greater detail.
Composite veneers are immediately sculpted to the tooth in one dental visit, whereas porcelain veneers are custom-made, taking three appointments over three weeks.
Invisalign
- Reliably closes gaps up to 6mm per arch
- Prices from £1,999
- £166.58 per month (0%)
- Treatment takes 3-6 months
Invisalign, alongside braces, is one of the most effective ways to close gaps between teeth.
However, some patients prefer Invisalign to traditional braces because it is more discreet and faster.
Depending on the size of your gaps, Invisalign can take 12 weeks to 3 months to correct gapped teeth (for gaps no larger than 1.5 mm) – and even faster for a gap between the front two teeth.
Invisalign will only work on gaps no larger than 6 millimetres; gaps over that limit will require fixed orthodontic appliances such as metal braces.
Remember that a retainer must be worn nightly following the aligner treatment.
