It always seems to stand out in photos of you. Recently you\nhave also noticed that you have tiny black triangles between a few of your\nteeth, and you have no idea how they got there. Luckily, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist<\/a>\nin Columbia is here with more information. Discover how they can solve your problems\nby reading more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gaps in Your Smile <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common kind of gap is one between your two front teeth,\nalso called a diastema. Besides being widely considered unattractive, having large\nspaces between your teeth is actually detrimental for your oral health. Bits of\nfood can get stuck in there and attract bacteria that cause gum disease and\ncavities. For this reason, as well as aesthetic ones, you\u2019ll want to get that\ngap fixed right away, which is where your dentist in Columbia can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest and most affordable way to close the gap is with\ndirect bonding. During this procedure, your dentist will sculpt a composite\nresin onto your tooth to alter its size and shape until it\u2019s more desirable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method, known as Six Month Smiles, takes a bit\nlonger, but will provide the same results. These are a special kind of braces\nthat are only attached to the teeth that show when you smile, which is why\ntreatment can be finished so quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, porcelain veneers can be affixed to your teeth to bridge\nthe gap. These super-thin shells of durable dental porcelain can be bonded to\nthe front surfaces of your teeth to mask all kinds of cosmetic flaws, including\nunsightly gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black Triangles Between Your Teeth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These small black gaps in your smile, which your dentist\nmight call \u201copen gingival embrasures,\u201d are typically caused by gum recession. This\nmay be due to gum disease, vigorous tooth brushing, or the natural process of\naging. Whatever the reason, these dental black gaps are not considered attractive\nby many, so you\u2019re probably going to want to get rid of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, porcelain veneers are a great option here. They can\ncover up the gap so that no one even knows it\u2019s there. Direct bonding can also\nclose these gaps by filling them with composite resin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what aesthetic problem you have with your smile,\nyour dentist should have a solution for it. If you have a space or black\ntriangle in your smile, talk to your dentist today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/victor-beck-jr-dds.html\">Dr. Victor Beck,\nJr.<\/a> is a cosmetic dentist in Columbia, TN who graduated from the University\nof Tennessee\u2019s dental school in 1973.
