The space i.e diastema in your front teeth can be filled with tooth colored filling material i.e composite restoration if the gap is approx 2-3mm which will take one appointment only..Visit a dentist to get a proper understanding of the different alternatives available for this condition i.e composite veneers, ceramic veneers, zirconia crowns for more gap in front teeth..The precise suggestion can be given after visiting dentist..

Hello sir...
The time depends on amount of gap between your teeth....
If the gap is less than 2 mm you can go for Simple Composite filling or composite vennersâ¦
the composite filling will take 20 to 30 minutes to complete... for veneers it may take 2 appointments. each of 45 min to 1 hr
FOR GAP MORE THAN 2MM:
It will get rectified by orthodontic treatment only and treatment duration will be 8 to 12months
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur management
