The gums are simply a covering for the bone. Gaps between your teeth may be a sign of bone loss, which can be a considerable problem. The jawbone is what holds your teeth in place. Bone loss due to untreated gum or periodontal disease can ultimately result in your teeth being overexposed, sensitive, and even loose. If active bone loss is what’s causing your gaps, our team can work with you to improve gum health and treat gum disease. Over time, your gaps may solve themselves with healthier gums.  If gaps exist for another reason, or even despite healthy gums, we have a solution. We will evaluate the height of your gums and discuss a few potential ways to enhance your smile. Ask us for an esthetic evaluation, and we’ll know just what you mean.

We use Juvaderm, hyaluronic acid, to fill the area between the gums and teeth, to eliminate black triangles (as the dentists call them). This is a relatively new treatment that’s seen excellent results. There is sometimes no other option to fill the gaps. Traditional gum grafts may not work if you have bone loss. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, can fill triangles to make a smile more pleasing even with bone loss. Gum filler for receding gums are a cost-effective and simple way to eliminate this problem. Note that you will have to return every six months for another injection to maintain results.

OTHER OPTIONS FOR FILLING BLACK TRIANGELS

Gaps between teeth can sometimes be remedied by moving your teeth closer together with braces or Invisalign.  It may require reshaping the teeth first, followed by 6 months to 2 years in braces or Invisalign.  Another method for closing the gap between teeth is dental bonding, adding filling material between the teeth, but it may result in abnormally shaped teeth in certain cases.
