Fix Black Triangles with Bioclear

Using Bioclear Injection Molding Technique to Treat Black Triangles, Gaps and Restoring Posterior Teeth

As we age, unattractive dark spaces can appear between our teeth. In addition to giving our smile an older appearance, these dark spaces can also collect food debris and plaque. These dark spaces are also known as dental black triangles. The clinical term for the condition is gingival embrasures. The black triangles can be caused by bone loss, the recession of the gum line or gradual movement of the teeth.

Some people have natural gaps between their teeth which is called diastema. Though diastema is not a health issue, the gaps between the teeth are not aesthetically pleasing and can sometimes be embarrassing.

In the past, dentists would repair black triangles and gaps in the teeth using porcelain veneers. Veneers help to restore function and improve the smile. Veneers are thin layers of ceramic which adhere to the teeth. Prior to applying the veneer, specific portions of the tooth’s surface are removed. With the use of Bioclear, however, the tooth’s surface is preserved as there is little to no impact. The Bioclear method helps patients safely achieve an attractive smile without damaging the existing tooth surface.

Bioclear is also a good solution for the posterior teeth. For posterior teeth, the injection molding technique can often be used to avoid the use of a crown. There are some cases where a crown is required. Using the modern advances with Bioclear helps dentists restore teeth safely and effectively.

The Bioclear Injection Molding Technique is a modern solution that uses composite material. The composite material easily bonds to any part of the tooth and is used to close gaps, align teeth, repair chips and even out the tooth’s color. It is also a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment. Bioclear uses clear forms that are filled with a composite material which is matched to your teeth. The forms are then removed and result in a smooth, even and beautiful shine. The form fits slightly below the gum line which helps give the teeth a more natural appearance. The tight contact that is obtained with the Bioclear method allows the papilla or the gum in-between the teeth to fit back into place. The final outcome of the procedure is a healthy and more youthful smile.

The Bioclear method is far less expensive compared to porcelain veneers. Bioclear treatments can also be completed in a single visit. In addition, it is stain resistant, durable and can be used to close up black triangles. There is also no need to remove the tooth’s enamel or grind down the tooth’s surface in order to apply the composite.

If your teeth are healthy and you do not have significant decay or damage, Bioclear may be an excellent option for improving your smile.
