I am 39 years old and a former smoker of 25 years. I quit smoking 8 months ago and would like to fix the black triangles between my front teeth that have formed from receding gums. I cannot afford veneers, but my dentist tells me this may be my only option. Would bonding or gum grafting be viable options? Or are there other procedures that could be done? I am addressing the gum issues with frequent dental cleanings and keeping up with flossing. I also grind my teeth at night.
Answer: Bioclear Method a great option The Bioclear Method can fill in the spaces without placing veneers. While veneers work very well, a conservative solution is Bioclear.

Answer: Corrected Dark Triangles Porcelain veneers are your only option to correct this. I would also have your doctor perform a small amount of recontouring of the gums on a few teeth for symmetry. I would look into some financing options that may help you in being able to afford it. Best of luck.

Answer: Several Options The most economical way is with white fillings material. You have natural larger two front teeth already, anything you do will cause your two front teeth look even larger. The solution here is to replace that black triangle with white materials to eliminate that black triangle appearance. How much you want to spend will dictate which material to use (i.e. porcelain or fillings). Another option is gum surgery. There a lot of newer techniques where dentists can release your gum tissue and bring the entire gum curtain downward, but this technique result can be unpredictable where using porcelain and white fillings results are more predictable.

Answer: From what I could tell...your best option would be bonding Doing a small amount of bonding on both teeth (for symmetry) would likely be the best way to minimize the black triangle appearance. In this situation, it might lend to the tooth looking a little more 'square'. Another option to look at is getting Juvaderm to augment and bulk that tissue up.
