Closing Black Triangles

Dental bonding is an effective solution for closing "black triangles," the small gaps or spaces between the teeth near the gumline, which often result from gum recession, bone loss, or tooth alignment issues. These gaps can trap food, be aesthetically displeasing, and, if large enough, may even affect speech. Here’s an overview of how dental bonding can address black triangles:

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of the teeth. It’s a minimally invasive procedure, meaning there’s often no need for anesthesia or drilling. The resin is shaped, smoothed, and polished to match the contours and color of your natural teeth, making it look seamless.

Benefits of Dental Bonding for Black Triangles

• Minimally Invasive: Often, little to no enamel is removed.
• Quick Solution: Bonding usually takes only one visit.
• Affordable: Compared to veneers or crowns, bonding is often a more cost-effective option.
• Aesthetic Improvement: It provides a seamless, natural appearance by closing the gaps without altering your smile line.
