A diastema is a gap — most commonly between the two upper front teeth. Diastema closure uses composite bonding or porcelain veneers to fill the space and reshape the teeth for a seamless, natural-looking result. It is one of the most satisfying cosmetic procedures: the change is immediate, significant, and requires minimal tooth preparation.
Dr. Omar assesses the gap size, surrounding teeth and your bite to determine the best closure method — bonding or veneers.
The composite or veneer shade is carefully matched to your existing tooth colour so the closure is invisible.
Composite bonding: material is applied, shaped and cured in a single appointment. Veneers: impressions taken, temporaries placed, final veneers bonded after 1 week.
The restored teeth are contoured and polished to a natural finish that blends perfectly.

Yes. Dr. Omar shapes the composite or veneer to blend naturally with your teeth — the gap closure becomes undetectable.
Composite bonding can chip over time. Veneers are more durable. If there is a bite issue causing the gap, a retainer may be recommended alongside closure.
No — diastema closure is entirely pain-free. No injections are needed for composite bonding. Veneer preparation uses local anaesthetic.
A common concern, beautifully resolved. Gap closure with composite bonding or veneers in as little as one appointment.
