Gaps between the teeth can be closed with the help of crowns, veneers(if the teeth are anterior) , if you are not interested in braces.
There are metal with ceramic, Zirconia many others, so cost depends on the type of crowns you choose.

At your age braces is best possible solution to close the gap
Afterwards you can go for composite or porcelain veneers
Composite usually cost from 2.5 k and porcelain around 15k onwards each tooth
Next Steps
Try going for minimal prep or no prep veneers

Yes!!the gap can be closed in a single sitting...But please let us know whether the gap is only in the front teeth or its like all over your teeth.....if only seen on front ,we have to decide on how much gap is left between the tooth...If the gap is minimal the laser filling will be enough. If the gap is quite big then you might require a crown or veneer.if the gap is seen on all over your teeth then you have to go for braces either removable or fixed.

There are three ways to fill gaps between teeth
1. Orthodontic treatment
2. Composite fillings
3. Ceramic veneers
Each of these treatment options have their Pros and cons.... ask your dentist. Only after clinical check up and xrays can the dentist determine best treatment for you...

Depending on how much the gap is, you can opt for direct composite fillings or veneers ( one sitting) or ceramic veneers etc. You could consider orthodontic treatment also as many options like tooth coloured braces or Invisalign are available now .
