Hi, the gaps in between the front teeth can be closed by simply adding cosmetic dental materials. It can be done by either direct chair-side bonding with composites or by placing ceramic laminates made in the lab. Putting crowns to close the gap is not a good idea. But it needs to be seen if the gap is small enough to be managed by the above techniques. (usually gaps up your 3-3.5mm) can be closed. Bigger gaps might need other options. One simple way to find out if the gaps can be closed this way is to ask the doctor to do a trial procedure with composite(mock-up).
