Do you avoid smiling because of the black triangles visible on your front teeth? Your smile is beautiful, but South Lakewood Dental can help you love it more with Bioclear dark triangle treatment. Instead of crowns or veneers, Dr. Scott Stewart uses the minimally invasive Bioclear treatment to overcome black triangles. The results? A healthier and more aesthetically appealing smile without the traditional wait.
Black triangles or gingival embrasures form when the gum tissues recede, exposing the roots of your teeth. Teeth naturally narrow as they extend toward the roots, so when gums recede, the exposed portion of the tooth often has a triangular shape. Black triangles usually leave your smile looking old and tired. Beyond aesthetics, these dark voids attract food debris, plaque, and tartar, increasing the risk of bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Black triangles happen for many reasons. For many, gum disease is the common cause. However, smoking, aggressive brushing, tooth wear, irregular tooth shape, and poor genetics can also cause gum embrasure.
For a long time, dental crowns and veneers have been the go-to procedure for addressing black triangles. Both treatments are invasive and need multiple dental appointments. Now, Bioclear has created an innovative solution to solve an old problem.
Unlike traditional bonding methods, Bioclear combines specialized matrices, special injection molding techniques, and advanced composites. The matrix system is custom-fitted to each tooth, creating a “scaffold” around which the composite material is shaped. The matrices create a tight seal (wrap) around the composite material, preventing it from flowing into unwanted areas.
The advanced injection techniques inject the liquid composite material into the spaces between teeth. This unique composite material is aesthetically appealing and resistant to staining. Once in place, the dentist reshapes the composite material and uses a special light to harden it. Finally, we polish the tooth to achieve a natural-looking shine.

Bioclear is an innovative solution for eliminating unwanted spaces between teeth. Here are notable benefits of Bioclear.
Bioclear is popular for front teeth because of its aesthetics. Once placed, the results are undetectable. However, Bioclear can repair decay or damage in the posterior teeth. The composites used are resilient enough to handle the everyday chewing and grinding forces.
For many people, black triangles lead to self-consciousness and a decreased desire to show their teeth when talking or smiling. You deserve better.
