Yes
Yes! You have several options. Bondings vs. porcelain options can be discussed with your dentist! How exciting!
Yes, it can be corrected by a combination of gum surgery and direct composite bonding of the adjacent surfaces of each of the teeth that forms the black triangle. Many times the cosmetic bonding can solve the problem in one appointment, as pointed out in the consumer book, Change Your Smile.
Black triangles do not refer to teeth, but to the spaces between teeth from the gum line to the contact point between teeth. Sometimes bonding can be placed on each tooth on either side to fill in the space, but it is difficult to contour the teeth properly. Crowns can be placed to close the space(s), but that is expensive and may not be covered by insurance. If the black triangles exist due to significant or severe bone loss, crowns might not be indicated.
Yes. When dentists talk about black triangles, it usually between two teeth near the gemlike. They're usually the result of gum and bone loss. So, when you ask about fixing them, it all depends upon the cause and severity of the triangle and the skills of the dentist. Sounds like you need an examination and consultation with a dentist.
