How much does it cost to get your gap in your front teeth fixed?

Answer 1

Typical costs:

• Also called teeth gap bands, teeth effect bands cost anywhere from $4 -$30 for 50-100. These non-latex rubber bands are slipped over the teeth overnight to draw the teeth together. However, some dentists warn that closing one gap may open two new gaps on each side, and that the bands could pull the teeth crooked or loosen a tooth from its socket, causing long-term problems.
• Cosmetic dental bonding (basically white fillings using a tooth-colored plastic resin on each adjacent tooth to fill the gap) averages $300 -$800 per tooth, but can be as low as $100 -$200 or as high as $800 -$1,000per tooth depending on complexity, the dentist's training, and local rates Concealing a gap would usually require bonding two teeth. Bonding done for cosmetic reasons is generally not covered by insurance.
• A small gap can be camouflaged using dental veneers, custom-made, wafer-thin tooth-colored shells. Traditional porcelain veneers require removing some of the tooth enamel, and cost $500 -$1,300 per tooth; the extremely thin Lumineers? brand usually doesn't require shaving tooth enamel, and costs around $700 -$1,300 a tooth. So having a dentist install veneers on two front teeth to close a gap could run $1,000 -$2,600. Veneers are rarely covered by dental insurance.
• If the teeth with the gap have cavities or other damage, they can be covered with dental crowns designed to also fill the gap. Crowns can run $500 -$3,000 per tooth depending on materials, or $1,000 -$6,000 for crowns on two front teeth. If a crown is needed for medical reasons, insurance may cover some of the cost but often crowns are not covered by insurance.
• If the only problem is the gap, partial braces (also called limited orthodontics) on only the six top front teeth can be used to close the gap at an average cost of $2,000-$3,000. If other problems need correcting, traditional full braces can run $5,400 -$7,600or more. For an extremely small gap, an orthodontist might be able to use a retainer to fix the problem at a cost of $500-$1,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment. Many dental insurance plans cover orthodontics up to age 18, but not for adults.
• An overlarge frenum (the membrane attaching the cheeks to the jaw and gums) can cause a gap. A labial frenectomy is a fairly simple procedure that runs $250 -$1,200 depending on your location and the size and position of the frenum, but can cost less in some regions and more if other procedures (such as gum repair) are included. Truveo.com posts a video of a labial frenectomy procedure. A frenectomy will not close a gap but will prevent it from occurring again, and is usually performed to remove excess tissue after a gap is closed. Generally insurance doesn't cover a frenectomy.

Additional costs:

• Often the dental procedures (cosmetic bonding, veneers, crowns or a frenectomy) will also have separate fees for an initial cleaning and exam (65 -$102) and X-rays ($13-$135).
