Do We Recommend Composite Bonding For Black Triangles (Bone Loss)?

Black triangles between your teeth can be frustrating, but they’re often a sign of something deeper — bone loss. While it might seem like composite bonding is a quick fix, it can actually make things worse over time. Once bonding is added, it can trap plaque and bacteria, making it harder to keep the area clean and potentially leading to more bone loss.

In this case, our focus wasn’t on filling the space — it was on protecting the foundation. By thickening the gum tissue, we help prevent future bone loss and preserve your natural teeth. The goal isn’t just cosmetic; it’s about long-term stability and health.
