Our practice has been in the Bradford, Massachusetts section of Haverhill since 1960. We still treat patients whom my dad treated when he started the practice. And those patients still have their own teeth! But as people age, they get “long in the tooth”. That means their gums recede and spaces are created between the teeth. These spaces manifest as the dreaded “black triangle”. A 2001 study showed that 1/3 of all patients exhibited some unsightly black triangles. Patients are always asking if we can eliminate those unaesthetic areas.
