Discover how Bioclear helps address black triangles with some frequently asked questions

Bioclear^® Technology uses a combination of minimally invasive dentistry, injection molding technique, and specially designed matrix forms to solve a variety of dental issues. We utilize this to enhance the esthetics or to repair teeth — call it a “Wrap.” With this technology, we can better resolve most smile flaws caused by age, gum surgery, orthodontics, and cavities. Below are examples of issues we can provide solutions for, often in a single appointment.

• Chipped teeth
• Damage from decay
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Gaps or “black triangles” between teeth
• Uneven or “too small” teeth

With Bioclear^®, instead of placing fillings in teeth, we “wrap” the tooth for stronger and longer-lasting results (think shrink-wrap). A custom-fitted Mylar matrix, an ultra-thin plastic ‘tooth form’ shell, is used to mold a specialized dental composite that is wrapped around the tooth to restore broken teeth and cavities, or to fill unwanted spaces and form a fully functional, beautiful smile. The resultant “wrap” restoration is then polished to a high protectant-like shine.

In addition to cosmetic front-tooth applications, Dr. Stewart also uses the Bioclear system for back teeth. This allows him to rebuild and reinforce molars and premolars without the need for traditional crowns. By using Bioclear’s additive approach, he conserves natural tooth structure and effectively restores strength and function. Dr. Stewart has not performed traditional crowns for over 20 years, focusing instead on Bioclear restorations as part of his commitment to conservative, biomimetic dentistry. This dedication to preserving natural teeth is a defining element of his daily practice.

There are many advantages to choosing Bioclear treatment over other cosmetic dentistry options. Bioclear is:

• Done in one visit: no more messy temporaries that come loose at the most inconvenient times
• Conserves enamel: more natural tooth left untouched
• Preserves long-term health: no damage done via the “wrap” system. The long-term health and survival of your teeth are protected.
• Easy to modify if needed: an easy fix, no matter the situation.
• Stain resistant: This is a big improvement. But realize some foods/drinks will stain no matter what—even natural teeth (think heavy coffee/tea drinkers).
• More affordable: Bioclear^® offers more quality solutions at less cost than conventional compatibles.
• Beautiful results: Bioclear^® has been proven to deliver beautiful, consistent results. We can now restore your smile without veneers or crowns, so you can enjoy a more confident smile and preserve your natural teeth. No other system can achieve the results Bioclear offers. Choices are wonderful!

During your consultation with Dr. Scott Stewart, he will evaluate your condition and discuss options for addressing black triangles and other smile imperfections.

Unlike traditional dental bonding, veneers, or crowns, Bioclear^® does not leave ledges that can cause staining or cavities when plaque catches on them, and it does not require tooth structure to be ground down, so veneers and crowns have room to be added to the tooth. The use of specialized dental composites eliminates the need for laboratory-fabricated porcelain products, making them less expensive and easier to repair if necessary.

Bioclear^® is an “additive” technique. This means it strengthens and supports your natural teeth without needing to remove any original tooth structure. Conventional dental “bonding” is typically applied in layers, which can create small holes or gaps in the restoration. This can result in the weakening of the restoration and the development of rough edges. Bioclear^® is applied in one “overlay-wrap” that makes these restorations very strong and, we trust, longer-lasting.
