Tired of having David Letterman's smile and want to finally get rid of that gap between your front teeth? If you can kick the proverbial football through your gap, then you will probably need braces or large veneers to close it up. However, if your gap is relatively minor, there is a less invasive and cheaper
cosmetic dentistry procedure called 
bonded resin that you might consider.A dentist specializing in cosmetic, or more accurately called, restorative dentistry creates what is effectively a gap-filler out of a tooth-colored material and simply attaches it to both teeth on either side of the gap. The process is mostly painless and achieves good cosmetic results.
On the downside, whereas before you might have been able to floss between the two teeth with thick twine, after the procedure you'll need to sneak the dental floss below where the gap used to be, as the teeth will be physically bonded together.
Since most
dental insurance will not pay for purely cosmetic procedures, the only way to save some money on this type of procedure is to enroll into what is known as a discount dental plan. However, simple gap fillings are relatively cheap so even without a discount dental plan, most people should be able to afford. Consult your dentist for an exact estimate to see if this procedure is right for you or for referral to a dentist that can perform this procedure.Supporters of "My Dental Complaint"
