Can you get rid of black triangle teeth?

I am a 45 year old female and I have black triangle teeth. Can you get rid of black triangles?

Black triangles is a term used in dentistry to describe spaces between teeth due to receding gums. This condition is very common due to advance periodontal disease, gum surgery or orthodontic treatment with severe crowding. Unfortunately you can not get rid of black triangles that developed due to the above situations. However if black triangles developed because of old bridges, crowns or veneers, they can be partially or even completely eliminated by fabricating new restorations.
Hi,

Black triangles are referring to the spaces where the gums has receded between the teeth, then yes. From veneers, crowns and bondings can be placed. Certain techniques and technologies are available such as the bioclear system, which has been designed to fill in black triangles.
Hope this helps.
Yes, in some cases. There are many different methods. This a question best addressed to your dentist in person.
Without seeing your teeth it is impossible to answer your question but there are procedures that under the right circumstances can do just that. One of the procedures that we do in the office is the Pinhole Procedure. Also sometimes these problems can be fixed with some restorative such as laminates or crowns.
