Are small gaps between your teeth making you feel self-conscious about your smile? You’re not alone. Many patients visit Bare Smiles Dental looking for a fast, affordable, and non-invasive solution to close teeth gaps—and dental bonding for gaps is one of our most effective treatments.

If you’re exploring ways to fix diastema (the dental term for spacing between teeth), this guide will walk you through how dental bonding procedures work, what to expect, and why it’s a great alternative to braces for minor corrections.

How Dental Bonding Fixes Gaps Between Teeth

When there’s a small space or diastema between teeth, especially the front ones, bonding material can be sculpted and applied to either side of the gap. Once shaped and cured, the teeth look perfectly aligned—giving the illusion of evenly spaced, gap-free teeth.

The process usually includes:

  • Consultation & Planning: We assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if dental bonding treatment is right for you.

  • Tooth Preparation: Minimal or no drilling is needed. The tooth surface is lightly roughened for better adhesion.

  • Application: A composite bonding material is matched to your natural tooth shade, applied, shaped, and then hardened with a special light.

  • Polishing: The bonded tooth is polished to blend in with the surrounding teeth, providing a natural finish.

Benefits of Dental Bonding for Gaps

Choosing dental bonding treatment for spacing has many advantages:

  • Fast Results: Often completed in a single appointment

  • Non-Invasive: No drilling or removal of enamel

  • Affordable: More cost-effective than veneers or orthodontics

  • Natural Appearance: Matched perfectly to your natural teeth

  • Reversible: Unlike veneers, bonding is not permanent and can be adjusted or removed

For residents of Melbourne’s northern suburbs, Bare Smiles Dental offers quick and effective solutions to help you smile with confidence again—without braces or months of waiting.

Is Bonding Right for Every Gap?

Teeth bonding is best suited for small to moderate gaps. If the space is too large or caused by alignment issues, orthodontic treatment may be recommended. During your initial consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your teeth and advise the best treatment for your smile goals.


What to Expect at Your Appointment

At Bare Smiles Dental, your dental bonding procedure is simple and stress-free:

  • Relax in our modern, welcoming clinic

  • We’ll select the right resin shade for a flawless blend

  • The entire procedure takes around 30–60 minutes per tooth

  • No downtime—resume your day immediately after

  • You’ll leave with a visibly improved smile the same day


Aftercare Tips to Keep Your Results Looking Great

To prolong the life of your dental bonding and keep your smile shining:


✅ Avoid biting on hard foods or objects (like pens or fingernails)

✅ Limit foods and drinks that stain (coffee, tea, red wine)

✅ Maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing

✅ Visit us regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings

With proper care, dental bonding results can last 4–8 years or more.
