What is BioClear?

BioClear Certified provider logoBioClear is a relatively new and painless cosmetic dental procedure where our Irvine dentists will place a special clear matrix between your teeth and use an injection molding technique to fill in the holes between your teeth with quality resin bonding material. Once filled, the composite will be smoothed and polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, making the restoration virtually unnoticeable. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of your smile but also helps reshape the papilla and close or minimize black triangles.

Can Black Triangles Be Fixed?

There are multiple techniques or procedures that can correct black triangles, which include:

How BioClear Works on Black Triangles

Fill Black Triangles in Irvine with BioClear

BioClear represents a major advancement in dental composite restorations, using flowable composites with a liquid-like texture instead of paste.

The technique starts with thin clear mylar sheets wrapped around the teeth, forming a mold for the new tooth. These sheets can slide under the gum line, allowing for a uniform restoration that extends beneath the visual part of the tooth. This feature is especially effective for filling black triangles at the gum line.

Once the desired shape is achieved, we inject heated liquid composite into the mold. The heat helps the material flow smoothly, eliminating any voids or gaps. Although the composite is heated, it won’t harm the tooth or nerves since it doesn’t conduct heat well, acting as an insulator.

The resin cools and hardens, and we finalize the shape by removing excess material and mylar folds. Less polishing is needed because the flowable composite creates a smooth, shiny surface.

Invisalign and BioClear for Black Triangles

Invisalign or other orthodontic procedures like metal braces can help treat the underlying causes of black triangles, particularly if they result from misalignment. After orthodontic treatment, composite resin veneers can be used to fill black triangles left by gaps between the teeth. Invisalign aligns the teeth for a better fit, while composite resin veneers provide the finishing touch by improving the appearance of the gum line and tooth contours.

Is BioClear Right for You?

There are some people who are perfect candidates for BioClear veneers. This includes people who have:

  • Healthy teeth that don’t need tissue removed
  • Sensitive gums that might react to other techniques
  • Black triangles along the gums that need to be filled in
  • A limited budget
