Yes, bonding is the most common way to correct it. Gum surgery may be another option.
I think you are referring to the "black triangle" spaces between teeth. There are many ways to eliminate them. Here are a couple of links to more conservative methods of eliminating them. https://www.bioclearmatrix.com/ https://www.oralhealthgroup.com/features/treating-the-dreaded-black-triangle-with-the-bioclear-method-a-4-year-follow-up/ If you prefer this look to the "black triangles" this might be an option for you.
Black triangles are usually caused by receding gums (periodontal disease). The first step is to start to treat the periodontal disease. The gums will recover and hopefully fill in the gaps causing the triangles. This is dependent on how far along the periodontal disease has progressed. See your dentist as soon as possible so that they can assess the condition for you.
Yes.
Yes! Black triangles can absolutely be fixed. The quickest fix would be bondings, but the glue can stain or chip off. A better fix would be filing the contacts and closing the space with Invisalign or braces.

Sometimes black triangles can be fixed with restorations like crowns or veneers.
Very often, black triangles can be closed either with bonding veneers or orthodontics. Sometimes you will need a combination of treatments to achieve this period there are times where it is just not possible.
Yes. Bonding or porcelain laminates can eliminate black triangles.

They can be cosmetically fixed with bonding or porcelain laminates. Assuming the gum disease that caused the problem has been eliminated.
