Lumineers: Are designed to deliver a beautiful result with a simple, non-prep, painless process. The minimally invasive lumineers technique eliminates the need for shots or temporaries veneers, so while you wait for your lumineers, you’ll look the same.

Black triangles: Treatment depends on the cause of the black triangles. If you have recession and bone loss, treatment is dependent on the amount of loss, health of the gums and bone, and the stability of the teeth. Options include crowns and/or veneers. If there is minimal or no recession and bone loss, options include veneers or cosmetic bonding. See your dentist for an exam and consult.

The fix can be simplex, complex or best left alone depending upon the specific situation.

Black geometry: Fixing the black triangles can be done simply with several different cosmetic procedures that can be done by a general dentist or a prosthodontist. The more important part of the equation is why are the triangles there. This needs to be addressed prior to the cosmetic treatment or they could show up again after the time, effort and cost to cover the triangles is done. Beware the "quick fix".
