Hello,
I suggest that you first understand the cause of your gaps. You must stabilize your bite before you decide on treatment to eliminate the gaps.
Some treatment options include:
-bonding to each tooth to fill the space and match the shade of the tooth. Least expense and billed per tooth. This can be completed in one long visit.
-veneers that cover the entire tooth which can fill gaps and slightly straighten minor crooked teeth. The material can be bonded composite or porcelain. Crowns should be considered if teeth are weak and have prior deep fillings. If all front teeth have veneers, the shade can be changed to a lighter color. This is more expensive and charged per tooth. This, depending on choice of material, will usually take multiple visits over a one to two month period.
-Orthodontic treatment to reposition teeth and eliminate spaces. This does not require any work to individual teeth if spaces can be closed. This is an inclusive fee to finish the treatment. It will take the longest time and will be expensive. Some treatment does not take as long, if only minor movement is required. Treatment is followed up with retainers. Schedule an appointment with an orthodontist to evaluate your treatment options and length. It may not be the most expensive, if you have spaces between many teeth and incur fees for multiple teeth to place bonds, veneers or crowns.
You should have a complete dental exam and cleaning. You must have good periodontal health. Your gums should not be inflamed to proceed with any cosmetic procedures or orthodontic movement of teeth. Your dentist will advise you on suitable options and costs for your location.
Thank you for your inquiry. I am glad to assist you further, but can not give you cost estimates for your location. I hope this information is helpful. There are many options for smile enhancement.

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. if the gap between the teeth are very minute then it can be reduced fast within 6 months. But if the gap is too much associated with other malaligned teeth then it takes a minimum of one year. If you want to get it immediately done you can go for composite restoration(tooth colored restoration) but here the teeth has to be prepared before restoration. consult a good orthodontist and esthetic dentist and take opinion and then proceed with the treatment. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
