We’re happy to help patients with all sorts of dental cosmetic problems at Dr. Suzanne Haeri’s South Carthay practice. Among the most common problems patients seek help for are gaps between the front teeth. Also known as diastemas, gaps between the upper incisors can have several causes, some of which also require treatment.
There are a few options for closing the gap. Among our offerings are Lumineers, the extremely thin brand of veneers that reshape the fronts of a patient’s teeth and are available on the same day as the appointment. We also supply Snap-On Smiles, which are oral devices that slide over teeth instead of being permanently fixed to them. However, Dr. Haeri will need to examine the patient’s mouth and inquire about their habits before deciding upon a treatment plan. Sometimes, a diastema is caused by an overly thick labial frenum, which is the strip of tissue on the inside of a person’s lip. It may be blocking the teeth from closing together. Alternatively, a patient habit such as tongue thrusting may be pushing the teeth apart. Resolving this may require the assistance of a psychological counselor or of an ear, nose, and throat doctor if the problem is related to swallowing or breathing.
Suzanne Haeri, DDS, is located at 1100 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, California, 90035. To set up an appointment, call 310-647-2200 or visit Suzanne Haeri DDS and fill out a request.
