• 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.
