DIASTEMA
This young woman presented with a “diastema” or space between her maxillary two central incisors. She also wanted to permanently brighten up her overall smile.
Before
After
The solution was creating ten porcelain veneers which were applied to her maxillary teeth in just two easy visits. No more diastema and a brighter smile changed her entire facial look.
This chapter from Amazing Smiles Through Cosmetic Dentistry explains or demonstrates diastema as part of Dr. Albert J. Kurpis’s broader cosmetic dentistry approach to improving smile balance, appearance, and confidence.
The right treatment depends on the condition of the teeth, gums, bite, facial balance, smile goals, and a professional examination. Similar-looking smile problems may require different solutions.
Cosmetic dentistry is designed to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. For many patients, a more balanced and attractive smile can also improve confidence in social, personal, and professional situations.
