Case overview

This diastema closure case at SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens uses cosmetic bonding to close a visible space while maintaining natural tooth proportions and lifelike embrasures. Diastema treatment is not just about eliminating a gap; it also requires careful design so the smile remains balanced, believable, and easy to keep clean. Composite bonding can be an excellent option for patients who want conservative space closure without extensive restorative treatment.

When contour, symmetry, and polish are handled well, the final result can create a more complete smile while preserving healthy enamel.
