Question

You have a few options, so here they are in no particular order:Option 1:  Bonding to reshape teeth and correct black triangles.  The down side would be that bonding stains very very easily and may need to be redone several times over the course of a few years.Option 2:  Lumineers to reshape teeth and correct black triangles.  The downside is that they would be just as expensive as or more expensive than veneers, but not last nearly as long.Option 3:  Porcelain veneers to correct your teeth.  The downside is that you would loose a little more tooth structure than you would with lumineers.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

If your only goal is to close black triangles, you need a dentist who can reshape your teeth.  I recommend you choose bonding instead of lumineers or veneers.  Especially if color is not a problem!  Some teeth are triangular in shape and you just need them made more square.  A conservative approach is 'bonding' tooth colored plastic to close and reshape your teeth.  Someday ypu you may do veneers or lumineers but start with something easier and way less aggressive!  Go interview dentists to find the right fit-good luck!
