I have a Gap(3mm) between my front teeth.Can anybody tell me how many veneers are required to fill this gap?

Reply:How about braces? They close gaps quick.
Reply:I have a gap in my front teeth too and its horrid! I was quoted for $1200, but thats in CA. Price also included a bomb a s s whitening job, but im broke.................so im still rockin the ugly teef. People dont know wether to smile back or kick a field goal :(
Reply:I dont know of any dentist in philly but I do know you would have to get veneers on at least 4 teeth. If you only did the front two they would look like chicklets. Some dentist would recommend that you do the front six.
Reply:LMAO, you cant afford veneers, they average about 1300 per tooth. and then those 2 teeth will be perfectly white, and the rest as they usually are, its a horrible idea just to get like 2 done. they can close the gap by bringing the from two teeth together, which will cost about 400
Reply:Hi, it all depends on what doctor you go to, some are priceier than others, I would suggest you go for free consults to get a price, however venerrs are pretty expensive, call dentists in your area and ask around.
Reply:composite or veneers can be used to fill gaps.





composite being the cheaper of the 2 also conserves more of the tooth structure. it is also possible to put it on 'temporarily' so you can see if you even like the look of it. this is in the hundreds of dollar range. http://www.animated-teeth.com/tooth-bond...





if you get veneers the doc usually recommends whitening first because the color of the veneers will NEVER change and if you ever whiten your veneers will stick out like a sore thumb. you would need at least 2 to fill the gap. this is in the thousands of dollar range. http://www.animated-teeth.com/porcelain_...





also, consultations at a dentist are rarely free.
Reply:The rule of thumb is to divide the gap by two. This is to keep the mid line in the correct place and not subject the patient to ridicule. Veneers are costly and are hard to do. They are good only for cosmetics and are subject to all sorts of gremlins. but they are beautiful and a good answer to closing gaps. Be prepared to pay a lot with no insurance coverage. Philly has a host of world famous dentists. Check either U of Penn or Temple for their recommendations.


DDS and still practicing.
Reply:HELLO RYANI,





THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE IS TRYING TO CLOSE A VERY WIDE SPACE.


IF YOU GET VENEERS IT WILL HAVE TO BE FOR MORE THAN 2 TEETH. OTHERWISE THESE VENEERS WOULD MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE BUGGS BUNNY.





WHEN I WAS IN DENTAL SCHOOL I HAD SPACES AND WANTED THEM CLOSED. I EXAMINED ALL THE CHOICES AND OPTED FOR BRACES.


IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE OF THEM ALL.
