Diastema Closures: More Than Just Closing the Gap

Diastema closures are among the most rewarding procedures we can offer patients. When done well, they restore balance, confidence and harmony without removing healthy tooth structure. But achieving seamless results takes more than adding material—it requires precision, control and an understanding of how light, form and proportion work together.

That’s exactly what I teach in Module Six: Diastema Closure, part of the full Composite Course on Seay Within. This session focuses on how to create natural, invisible closures that respect both aesthetics and biology.

Learn how to:

• Evaluate space distribution and plan restorations for symmetry and proportion

• Shape composite freehand to mimic natural contours and line angles

• Manage emergence profiles for smooth transitions and ideal papilla support

• Layer composite to control opacity and light reflection for lifelike results

• Finish and polish for surface texture and gloss that blends seamlessly with enamel

Whether you’re addressing a single midline gap or multiple spaces, the same principles apply—precise design, careful layering and an artistic eye for detail.

The Diastema Closure module is just one of seven in the Composite Course, which builds a complete foundation for achieving predictable, beautiful direct restorations.

Each module takes you deeper into the artistry and science of composite dentistry—from fundamentals to advanced esthetic concepts—so you can deliver natural, functional results every time.
