Patient Case Study –Close spaces in between teeth from alignment issues or gum recession
Both patients wanted to close noticeable spaces between their teeth, which had developed either from natural alignment issues or gum recession.
Their main goals were to achieve a fuller, more youthful smile — and to feel more confident when smiling and speaking.
When there are spaces between teeth, especially near the gumline, it can affect the overall balance and harmony of a smile.
These spaces, often called black triangles, occur when there is a gap between two teeth that the gum tissue no longer fills.
Black triangles can develop from natural tooth shapes, minor shifting over time, or gum recession. They can make a smile appear less full and youthful, and sometimes give the impression that food is caught between the teeth, even when it’s not — causing many patients to feel self-conscious.
In both cases:
Veneers were the ideal solution for both patients. Veneers allow us to:
We carefully designed custom veneers for each patient to close the black triangles and enhance the natural shape of their teeth.
For the first patient:
For the second patient:
Each case was designed to blend seamlessly with the patient's features, maintaining a natural, healthy appearance.
Veneers beautifully closed the black triangles and reshaped the smiles, giving each patient a more youthful, balanced, and confident appearance.
Both patients now enjoy fuller, more natural-looking smiles that feel just as good as they look.
