hi,
when there is gap between the teeth. we have to do smile design.
it depends on number of factors like- amount of gap, positioning of adjacent tooth, strength of adjoining tooth, oral hygiene of the patient etc.
depending upon the diagnosis and treatment plan gaps can be filled with number of procedures like- composite build up, crowns, laminated, orthodontic wiring atc.
Thanks.
