Bioclear For Black Triangles And Gaps In Teeth

If you’re struggling with a gap between your front teeth or black triangles in your smile, Bioclear in Centreville, VA, from Dr. Young Kim may be just what you need. This special type of dental bonding helps reshape your teeth, close gaps, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile. After treatment with Bioclear, you’ll enjoy long-lasting, natural results that will help you put your best self forward for years to come.

What Is Bioclear And How Does It Work?

Bioclear is a special type of dental bonding that uses dental resin to enhance your smile. In traditional dental bonding, Dr. Kim will apply resin directly to your tooth, then shape it manually with special tools to restore your smile.

Bioclear is a little bit different. It uses tooth-shaped plastic “molds” (matrices) that fit over your teeth. These molds are designed to match the desired shape of each tooth. Once they are in place, Dr. Kim will inject a special resin into the mold. Then, he will activate the resin with a UV light and do some final adjustments to create the proper shape.

What Cosmetic Issues Is Bioclear Used To Treat?

At our office, Dr. Young Kim primarily uses Bioclear to treat diastemas and black triangles. These cosmetic issues are challenging to treat with traditional dental bonding techniques, and the Bioclear treatment approach makes things much more straightforward and ensures great results.

Diastemas (gaps between front teeth)

A gap between your front teeth (diastema) can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. There are lots of things that can cause a diastema, including genetic factors, tooth and jaw size, and even childhood habits that affect oral development.

Bioclear is perfect for closing gaps between front teeth. The simple process allows Dr. Kim to quickly and easily add more structure to each tooth, closing the gap and providing you with a bright, confident, and beautiful smile.

Black triangles between teeth

Black triangles between teeth, also called “gingival embrasures,” can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Like diastemas, lots of things can cause black triangles between teeth, including natural anatomy, gum disease, a traumatic bite, or gum recession.

With Bioclear, Dr. Kim can easily reshape the affected teeth, close the gaps that cause black triangles, and help you smile more proudly and confidently. However, it’s also important to understand the root cause of black triangles. If they're caused by an oral health issue like gum disease, Dr. Kim will need to treat the root cause and make sure that your smile is healthy before you can get Bioclear.

Understanding The Bioclear Treatment Process

• Tooth preparation – First, Dr. Kim will clean your teeth. Then, he will apply an acid etching solution to your teeth to prepare them for Bioclear. This roughens the surface slightly and ensures the composite resin can bond tightly to your teeth.
• Form placement and resin injection – Dr. Kim will place a plastic matrix over your tooth. Then, he will use special tools to inject liquid resin into the matrix. The resin will flow into the matrix and follow its shape to restore the overall shape of your tooth.
  
• Hardening and sculpting – Next, Dr. Kim will use a UV light to activate the resin. This cures the material, hardening it into the proper shape. The next step is to remove the plastic matrix and buff away any unnecessary material.
• Finishing up – If necessary, Dr. Kim will make a few final adjustments to make sure the shape of your newly-restored tooth is perfect. Then, he will polish your new tooth and send you home to enjoy your new smile. You can smile proudly with no more gaps or black triangles!
