Cosmetic Dentistry

Several effective cosmetic dental treatments can close gaps between teeth without traditional metal braces. At Smiles Art Dentistry in Houston, Dr. Abed offers multiple solutions to address tooth spacing issues.

Closing Tooth Gaps without Braces

  • Invisalign® Clear Aligners — These transparent, removable aligners gradually shift teeth into the proper position without metal brackets or wires. This option is ideal for moderate spacing issues and a discreet appearance during treatment.
  • Porcelain Veneers — Custom-designed thin ceramic shells can instantly transform your smile by covering gaps. Perfect for front teeth with spacing issues, we can usually complete veneers in just two appointments.
  • Dental Bonding — This cost-effective solution uses tooth-colored composite resin expertly shaped to extend the edges of teeth and close small to medium gaps. This single-visit procedure requires no removal of healthy tooth structure.

Which Option Is Right for You?

The ideal treatment depends on the size of the gaps, your timeline, budget, and long-term goals. Dr. Abed will evaluate these factors during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate solution for your unique situation.
