Does Gum Disease Cause Gaps in Teeth?<\/h2>\n

Gum disease doesn’t directly cause gaps in teeth. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to bone loss and gum tissue recession, which may cause spaces between teeth to form as the gum pulls away.<\/p>\n
If this happens, it’s important to first treat the gum disease to prevent further issues. Once the gum disease is under control, options like composite bonding, Invisalign, or porcelain veneers can be used to close the gaps between teeth.<\/p>\n

There are different ways to close gaps between teeth. For smaller gaps, composite bonding is a good option. This involves applying a tooth-colored material to the teeth to fill in the gaps. It’s quick, affordable and non invasive.<\/p>\n
For gaps that need more movement, Invisalign might be recommended. It uses clear, removable braces that gradually shift your teeth into place.<\/p>\n
Other options include porcelain veneers, which are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to close gaps and improve your smile.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”thin font-20 width_80 brown_list”]How to Fix Gaps in Teeth<\/span><\/p>\n
Fixing gaps in teeth depends on how big the gaps are and your preferences. If the gaps are small, composite bonding is a simple solution.<\/p>\n
It can be done in just one visit. If you have larger gaps, Invisalign is a good choice because it can move your teeth over time with clear aligners that are easy to wear.<\/p>\n
Larger gaps fixed with composite bonding or porcelain veneers can make the teeth large, bulky and unaesthetic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”what-bonding composite-vs-porcelain” css=”.vc_custom_1719474744370{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_id=”dental-implants”][vc_row el_class=”gm-straighten gm-max-width”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1719394791322{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1719394813686{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” el_class=”white-text magin-inline-auto”]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What causes gappy teeth?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]Gappy teeth, or diastema, can be caused by a variety of factors including genetic predisposition, discrepancies in the size of the teeth and jawbone, habits such as thumb sucking, or issues like an oversized labial frenum (the tissue that connects the upper lip to the gums).[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can Invisalign correct gappy teeth?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]Yes, Invisalign<\/a> can effectively close gaps between teeth.

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How long does composite bonding last?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]Composite bonding<\/a> can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, depending on factors such as oral hygiene, the location of the bonded teeth, and lifestyle habits like smoking or consuming staining foods and beverages.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Are there any risks associated with composite bonding?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]Composite bonding<\/a> is generally safe, but it can have some risks including potential discoloration, chipping, or wear over time. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can mitigate these risks.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Which is better for closing gaps: Invisalign or composite bonding?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]The choice between Invisalign<\/a> and composite bonding<\/a> depends on individual needs and the specific dental issues.

Avoid biting on hard objects and limit consumption of staining foods and beverages to prolong the life of the bonding material.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is composite bonding reversible?” color=”white” css=”” el_class=”faq-item composite”]Yes, composite bonding<\/a> is reversible. The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning the natural tooth structure is preserved.
