Can bonding done to close a tooth's black triangle always produce a ledge that later results in a cavity?

Asked By:xzcv in Miami, Florida

I'd like to have composite resin fill-in front teeth triangle spaces at/near the gumline. I do not want crowns nor veneers and I am happy with the color of my teeth. People have noticed these triangle spaces when I smile. How likely is it that bacteria will later be caught on a ledge after composite resin has been cured?
