Gaps between teeth (known as diastemas) are very common, particularly between the two upper front teeth. They can affect your confidence and in some cases make it harder to keep the area clean. Depending on the size of the gap and its cause, there are several effective options — from same-visit bonding to Invisalign.
You might have this if you notice
- ✓A visible space between one or more teeth
- ✓Food becoming trapped in the gap regularly
- ✓Self-consciousness about your smile or a gap you want to close
- ✓A gap that has widened over time (which may indicate a gum issue)
How we can help
We offer several treatments depending on your situation — we'll recommend the right one at your appointment.
Composite Bonding
For small to medium gaps, composite bonding can close the space in a single visit by adding tooth-coloured resin to the sides of adjacent teeth. No needles needed for most cases.
Learn more →Invisalign®
Where multiple gaps or spacing issues are present across the arch, Invisalign moves the teeth together properly for a long-lasting result.
Learn more →Dental Veneers
Veneers can close gaps while also improving the shape, colour and proportion of the teeth — ideal if you are looking to transform your smile at the same time.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
