Bioclear Treatment

Closing the gaps for a youthful smile

 

30% of adults have black triangles, clinically known as open gingival embrasures. This is often due to bone loss and recession of the gum line, and sometimes due to movement in the teeth. Dark spaces between the teeth can make the teeth look old.

They are also prone to accumulate food debris encouraging excessive plaque build-up. In cases where the enamel is perfectly healthy, these needn’t be masked with veneers. Using a special composite bonding technique, your dentist can close these gaps improving the integrity of the gum and the appearance of your smile.

Bioclear is a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment using clear forms which are filled with a composite material matched to the shade of your teeth. The forms are removed leaving behind a smooth-contoured composite that has a beautiful shine that is smooth to the touch. The form sits just below the gum line, meaning the teeth will appear to emerge naturally. The tight contacts achieved with this system mean that the papilla (the gum in-between the teeth) is hugged back into place, revealing a healthy and youthful smile.

The Bioclear treatment is also perfect for closing diastemas (the vertical gap in-between two teeth). Many celebrities have a diastema including Madonna, Eddie Murphy, Jack Black, Lauren Hutton, and Willie Nelson. For many people, a diastema makes their smile unique, and they choose to keep the charming mid-line gap. Though a diastema is considered harmless, meaning it rarely affects dental health, some people want to close those smile gaps. Using the clear forms and composite bonding, your dentist can transform your smile with a very natural finish.

Another common dislike among patients can be undersized laterals or peg laterals. This is where the tooth has not grown to its full capacity making the smile line look uneven. Due to the excellent quality of shaded composite materials coupled with the Bioclear system, these teeth can be built up to reveal an aesthetically symmetrical smile.

“The treatment was done in a single session and the results far surpassed my expectations. My teeth are now very natural in appearance, and the thinning enamel has been reinforced with a layer of composite. My teeth are much easier to clean and remain essentially tartar free.” – M. Hooker

 “After treatment, my first response was… Wow! I didn’t expect it to be so easy and look so nice. One of the biggest things for me was the feel, my tongue used to be drawn to the gaps and now it feels so smooth. I am really pleased with the results.” – C. Johnstone
