  • About Black Triangles

What are black triangles?

Black triangles are a common dental issue that occur between the teeth near the gum line, causing an unattractive gap to appear. These gaps can be caused by gum recession, misaligned teeth, or an improper bite. In addition to being a cosmetic issue, they can also cause other dental problems — trapping food particles, plaque, tartar, and bacteria if left untreated.
Roughly 67 percent of adults have black triangles (also known as Open Gingival Embrasures). At Bella Dental we are uniquely able to specifically treat them using the Bioclear Method — pioneered in Australia by some of the first certified Bioclear providers in the country.

  • Causes

What causes black triangles?

There are several reasons people develop black triangles. The most common is gum recession — gums naturally recede as we age, and gum disease, dental infections, and vigorous brushing can accelerate this. The shape of your teeth also matters: narrower teeth at the gum line create more space between the contacts and the gum tissue, leaving room for gaps to form.
Other causes include aggressive brushing or flossing that damages soft tissue, bone loss from active gum disease (periodontitis), and orthodontic treatment — a 2018 study found that the likelihood of adults with braces developing black triangles between their upper and lower incisors was 22 and 36 percent respectively. Thin, fragile gum tissue is also more prone to irreversible recession.
If you suspect you may have black triangles, it’s worth having them assessed. Beyond the cosmetic concern, they can trap food and plaque — increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The Bioclear Method offers a way to address both the appearance and the functional problem at once.
  • Why Bioclear

Stronger. Longer-lasting. More natural.

The Bioclear Method is founded on principles of structural engineering and modern materials science — quick, easy, minimally invasive, and built to last 15–20 years or more.

Stronger & Longer-Lasting

Bioclear uses a heated composite by 3M that is flowed in rather than layered — creating a single, monolithic fill that is harder and more structurally sound than traditional composite. Restorations typically last 15 to 20 years or more.

Conserves Natural Tooth

Bioclear preparations only call for removing unhealthy tooth structure — inherently conserving more of the healthy, original tooth. Unlike traditional veneers, no shaving down of enamel is required.

Looks More Natural

Anatomically shaped Bioclear matrices and a wet ‘Rock Star Polish’ finish deliver the slightly translucent, reflective quality of natural teeth — far more lifelike than the grainy, matte finish of conventional composites.

  • What Bioclear Can Do

More than just black triangles.

Close Black Triangle Gaps

Specialised shape barriers sculpt natural contours to fill the negative spaces created by receding gum lines — resulting in stronger teeth that support restoration and eliminate the unsightly gaps.

Repair Chips & Breaks

Fix chipped or broken teeth without resorting to replacements or crowns — leaving as much of the underlying tooth structure as possible. The composite bonds directly to your enamel for a seamless repair.

Reshape & Whiten

Repair small or misshapen teeth to create an even smile, and cover stained or discoloured teeth to create a long- lasting, natural-looking result — all in a single, minimally invasive treatment.

What is Bioclear?
Bioclear is a dental technique and system designed to address various dental issues — including gaps between teeth, dental bonding, and cosmetic enhancement. It uses unique matrices and composite materials to create strong and aesthetically pleasing restorations, improving the appearance and functionality of the teeth.

Bioclear differs from traditional dental bonding and veneers in its technique and materials used. Traditional dental bonding involves applying composite resin directly to the tooth and shaping it by hand. On the other hand, Bioclear uses specialised matrices to create a custom mould around the tooth, allowing for precise and predictable restoration.

Compared to veneers, which require significant enamel removal, Bioclear is a more conservative option, preserving more natural tooth structure while achieving excellent aesthetic results.

No, the Bioclear procedure is typically painless. Local anaesthesia may be used to numb the treatment area to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.

The longevity of Bioclear restorations depends on several factors, including the patient’s oral hygiene practises and lifestyle habits. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, Bioclear restorations can last for many years. The materials used in Bioclear are durable and resistant to staining, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.

It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects, and attend regular dental visits to ensure the longevity and success of Bioclear restorations. Your dentist will provide you with personalised care instructions to maximise the lifespan of your Bioclear restorations.

Bioclear is a versatile technique that can address various dental issues, including:
• Closing gaps or diastemas between teeth
• Repairing chipped or broken teeth
• Restoring worn or eroded teeth
• Correcting uneven or misshapen teeth.
• Enhancing the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth
• Creating a more symmetrical and balanced smile.
