Dear Practo User,
Cavity in between teeth can be easily restored with tooth colored filling. Other option available for you is veneer. Kindly visit a nearby dentist for thorough evaluation.

If there is a cavity, it definitely requires a filling because it is not going to heal on its own and rather, it will be a progressive lesion..... you should not delay this treatment till the time it becomes symptomatic and gives you any pain or discomfort...... good quality tooth coloured fillings are available these days which will not be conspicuous at all and will help you smile again with confidence..... Regards.....

Hello..cavity due to decay can be treated either by tooth color filling called composite or if the gap is more it can be closed by crowns.If the spacing is generalised ,braces treatment can be done.visit nearby dentist to check clinically and improve your smile.

You have 2 options. ..1st get a tooth coloured filling this is the most conservative treatment. 2nd you can either go for a veneer or a crown for the tooth. In the 1st option filling will get discoloured over a period of time. In 2nd option you get a better colour and the treatment is durable
