What are the Black Triangles Between My Teeth, and How can Bioclear Help to Get Rid of Them?
A gap or space between two teeth is also referred to as a diastema, which can appear as a dark black triangle of empty space that prematurely ages or distorts the smile. It’s estimated that almost 1/3 of adults have black triangles. These are caused by bone loss and recession of the gum line, and sometimes because of movement in the teeth. These dark spaces between the teeth can make your teeth appear old. These areas are also prone to accumulate food debris, encouraging excessive plaque build-up. Bioclear® creates ultra-thin composite material and Cling-Fit technology to bond to the teeth and fill gaps, spaces, and dark triangles.Bioclear vs. Porcelain Veneers vs. Bonding
With Bioclear®, you get the best of both worlds. The beauty of Bioclear® Veneers is that they are a much less invasive cosmetic dental treatment like bonding. At the same time, Bioclear® Veneers also have the longevity and beauty of a lab-customized porcelain veneer!FAQ
We do not remove any of your natural tooth structure! Bioclear® utilizes a strong, tooth-colored composite resin to match the natural color of your tooth and support its strength and structure. In the more recent advancements of the technology, the Bioclear® creates ultra-thin composite material and Cling-Fit technology to bond to the teeth and fill gaps, spaces, and dark triangles.
The entire process is relatively simple and provides effective restorative care. As a result, patients experience many restorative and cosmetically esthetic benefits, such as a smile that looks and feels complete.
First, any trace of biofilm must be removed from the teeth. This is done by gently scouring it away with a tiny instrument and cleaning powder just hard enough to remove the microscopic sticky layer that accumulates on the surface of the teeth without damaging the tooth surface.
Then, thin mylar forms that hug the tooth provide the mold for a new tooth surface. Liquid composite is injected into the forms. The resin is then hardened using a special light. The tooth is then shaped and polished to have a beautifully shiny and smooth finish.
Bioclear® is a new, beautiful and conservative alternative to traditional reductive porcelain dentistry. It is NOT covered by insurance. It conserves more tooth structure and your remaining dental benefits for other procedures if necessary. It may be covered by your FSA/HSA. We are excited to offer no-interest monthly payments with Care Credit.
