Title: Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist 7-11

- If you didn't go to dental school, then you've
probably never heard of a diastema. However, it
can make you feel awfully insecure about your
smile until you see a cosmetic dentist. - So, what is it? Saying you have a diastema is a
fancy way of saying that you have a gap in
between your teeth. Lots of times, a diastema
will pop up in between your two front teeth, but
these gaps can occur anywhere.

- Where do diastemas come from? In some cases,
they're a byproduct of genetics. If your jaw is
too big for your teeth, your teeth may spread
apart to cover all of that excess space. - Diastemas can also be caused by tissue problems.
If your labial frenum is too big -- that's the
tissue in between your gum and the inside of your
lip -- it can create extra space in between your
teeth. But, this can be fixed by a good Los
Angeles cosmetic dentist.

- If your diastema is very small -- as in, less
than 1 mm -- your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist
might be able to get away with using a special
bonding material to plug the gap. - However, veneers are one of the most popular
options for covering up diastemas. These thin
pieces of porcelain fit right over the front of
your teeth.

- Another option your cosmetic dentist has is to
use crowns. Like veneers, crowns can cover up
your diastemas. But unlike veneers, crowns go
over your entire tooth -- almost like a little
cap. - If an oversized labial frenum is to blame, the
treatment is a little trickier -- but you'll
still be able to get rid of your diastemas. To
do it, though, your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist
will have to start by performing surgery on the
area. Then, he can use veneers or crowns to
completely cover up the gap and perfect your
smile.
