Tooth Bonding Recovery for Gaps Between Teeth: Closing Spaces Fast

Gaps between side teeth clinically known as interdental spaces often become annoying traps for food during dinner. Composite bonding closes these empty spaces in under forty minutes by hand-sculpting tooth-coloured resin onto the outer contours of both teeth until they meet seamlessly.

In our London practice, closing tooth gaps starts from £150 per tooth.

Once you leave our surgery, what is recovery actually like?

To put it plainly: there is virtually zero physical recovery. Because bonding preserves your virgin enamel, you won’t suffer from throbbing aches or bleeding gums.

When we close a space, the resin rests against the small triangle of gum tissue between your teeth. Your gums might feel slightly snug for the first twenty-four hours. A gentle warm saltwater swish keeps the gum calm and clean.

Stick to softer comfort meals like pasta, jacket potatoes, or soup for the first couple of days. When flossing, slide the tape gently between the teeth rather than snapping it hard.
