Gaps in teeth is caused if there is too much space in the jaw for the teeth. If the space in the jaw is more than the total space required by the teeth, then there will be gaps between the teeth.
On the other side, if there is less space in the jaw for the teeth, then it results in crooked teeth. So, the size of the jaw should be just enough for the teeth to be in a straight position. It should not be too much to cause gaps in teeth, and not too little to cause crooked teeth.

Dental veneers are a permanent solution for teeth whitening, remove stains on teeth, remove teeth gaps, and fix broken teeth.
Dental veneers are of three types:
Dental veneers and Lumineers are placed in 3-4 days in two parts.
First Visit: In the first visit, the dentist does a complete check-up and takes an impression of the mouth. In the case of dental veneers, the impression is taken after reducing the teeth, whereas for Lumineers, an impression is taken without tooth reduction. The first visit takes 30-60 minutes. Dental veneers are made in 2-3 days.
Second Visit: After a gap of 2-3 days, in the second visit, the dental veneers are permanently glued to the surface of the teeth using a very strong chemical.
The second visit takes a longer time because each dental veneer or Lumineer takes 20-30 minutes to apply on one tooth. So, if you need multiple dental veneers then it can take up to 7-8 hours to apply on all teeth.
Multiple dental veneers are used in the dental treatment. Each tooth requires one dental veneer. Therefore, the total cost of dental veneers is calculated by multiplying the cost of one dental veneer with the total number of dental veneers.
The average cost of dental veneers is $ 1260 per tooth in USA and $ 80 per tooth outside of USA at our clinic.
Total cost of dental veneers in USA = $ 1260 X total number of dental veneers
Total cost of dental veneers outside of USA = $ 80 X total number of dental veneers
Example, for 10 dental veneers, the cost will be:
Cost |
Calculation |
Total |
|---|---|---|
Cost in USA | $ 1260 X 10 | $ 12600 |
Cost outside of USA | $ 80 X 10 | $ 800 |
$ 1260 X 10 | : $ 12600 |
$ 80 X 10 | : $ 800 |
Dental veneers are very expensive in USA, but you can save a lot of money by traveling to an affordable location outside of USA for 3-4 days for the dental treatment.
