I have spaced teeth at the front of my mouth in between upper incisors
Q. I have spaced teeth at the front of my mouth - in between upper incisors. This gap seems to be getting larger as the years go by. How much will it cost to get this corrected?
A. You are likely to have gum disease if you have drifting front teeth. The first treatment would be to see a dentist for a full assessment and then have a hygienist treat your gum disease. Following this your dentist will be able to discuss with you various ways of correcting your gap ranging from orthodontics to crowns/veneers. I am unable to estimates of costs.

The Harley Street Smile Clinic are happy to advise on the likely costs involved in correcting a gap in between the front two teeth. If the gums are healthy the gap can be closed using porcelain veneers. In a case where the gap is very small it is possible to use just 2 porcelain veneers to close the gap. If the gap is larger than say a few millimetres then it is likely 4 porcelain veneers would be needed to close the gap and keep the front four teeth in proportion with each other. Rather than 2 very wide veneers and 2 small teeth next to them, by veneering the front 4 teeth the lateral incisors can be made a little bigger and the central incisors can be made a little smaller so that all four teeth will be in the correct proportions. In terms of cost, 4 porcelain veneers would be charged at £675 per tooth.
