At Austin City Dental, Dr. Steve Cook uses the Bioclear® Method exclusively for black triangle closure—one of the most conservative, natural-looking ways to eliminate dark spaces between teeth caused by gum recession. If you are bothered by black triangles near your gumline, Bioclear can help you achieve a fuller, healthier-looking smile without removing healthy enamel.
The Bioclear Method is an advanced cosmetic dentistry technique designed to close black triangles between teeth using injection-molded composite and clear anatomic matrices.
Unlike traditional bonding, Bioclear reshapes the tooth at the gumline by wrapping it 360° to fill the dark space created by gum recession and improve the emergence profile. Once cured and polished, the result is smooth, natural, and easier to keep clean—so your smile looks more youthful and seamless.
