Is It Possible to Do a Bone Graft in Order to Close Black Triangle Between the Teeth?

September 2, 2011
Asked By:A10 in East Brunswick, NJ

I was told that I have a bone loss between two front teeth and therefore a gum graft can't work to close a black triangle between two front teeth. I had a minor gum recession prior the braces treatment but it got worse during the treatment. I went to consult two periodontists and both said that a gum graft in that area is not going to work. My periodontist said that moving teeth closer will only worsen the gum recession and he won't do that. What else can be done besides veneers or bonding?
