Can veneers close several gaps at once?+
They can, when the total spacing is modest and teeth can be widened without looking out of proportion. Larger totals may need tooth movement first.
Why not just make every tooth wider?+
Teeth that become too wide for their length can look square or heavy. Sharing out the space carefully, or moving teeth, keeps proportions natural.
Would bonding work for small spaces?+
Direct bonding is sometimes suitable for small gaps on sound teeth. Whether it fits your case depends on the size of the spaces and your goals.
My gaps seem to be getting bigger. Does that matter?+
Yes. Changing spacing can have a cause that should be examined before cosmetic work, so include that detail when you first contact the clinic.
Will closing the gaps change how I floss?+
Cleaning between teeth may feel different once spaces close. Keeping those new contact areas clean helps protect the natural tooth at each margin.
