About two months ago I developed a small black triangle between my front teeth. I've been to the dentist for regular cleanings, and he said i might have damaged the gum from over flossing or brushing. And it's been over two months, so I know it won't repair itself. How can I close this gap? I got my braces off 5 years ago and this tiny gap really annoys me ): I'm afraid it'll get bigger. Would bonding work? Veneers are not an option for this. Any advice would be great! Thank you!

Answer: Dark Gap Between Front Teeth Hi from Pennsylvania! You have beautiful teeth and a beautiful smile and the space between your teeth can be easily fixed by bonding done by skilled cosmetic dentist. Your space, that is really minimal, usually comes from aggressive flossing and recession of gingival tissue or gum tissue at the triangle area between teeth. Yours is so slight it can be fixed through bonding in a heart beat! Take care of this so you will love that smile!

Answer: Black triangle this has become a real dilemna of late in dentstry, especially with regard to implant denstistry. Your space looks to be very small, and so; easily fixed, but that's not always the case. It's a question of the volume of gum to fill the space, and the contour of the teeth on either side. These is no reliable way to add more gum in that area. I like to correct it with some very minor and exact orthodontics. Some slight stripping or interproximal reduction of the teeth and then orthodontic space closure will squeeze the papilla and cause it to fill the space.
