Say Goodbye to Black Triangles with Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Treatment
Do you notice small dark spaces or “black triangles” between your teeth near the gum line? These gaps can be frustrating, especially when they affect your smile or cause food to get trapped. Patients often tell us things like:
- “Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth now.”
- “People think I have pepper or lettuce in my teeth.”
- “My grandkids even asked what those dark spaces are!”
These spaces may develop due to aging, gum recession, orthodontic treatment, periodontal therapy, or simply genetics. Whatever the cause, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone at Schaefer Advanced Dentistry offer a modern, conservative solution that can dramatically improve your smile—without the need for crowns or veneers.
What Causes Black Triangles Between Teeth?
Black triangles are small triangular gaps that form between your teeth and gums. These can be caused by:
- Bone or gum loss from periodontal disease
- Natural tooth shape or size discrepancies
- Orthodontic movement
- Aging and gum tissue changes
- Past dental work or overzealous hygiene habits
These spaces don’t just affect appearance—they can also trap food and plaque, making them harder to clean and contributing to further gum irritation.
Our Solution: Bioclear Matrix System
At Schaefer Advanced Dentistry, we use the Bioclear Method, a breakthrough cosmetic bonding technique designed specifically to eliminate these dark triangles in a minimally invasive, highly aesthetic way.
Here’s how it works:
- The teeth are gently cleaned and prepared.
- A special Bioclear Matrix is used to shape and mold tooth-colored composite.
- The composite is artistically layered and sculpted to close the gaps and restore youthful, natural-looking contours.
- The material is polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
This treatment preserves your natural tooth structure—no drilling or shaving—and offers immediate, beautiful results in just one visit.
