What Causes White Spots on Teeth?

Understanding the cause of white spots helps us determine the most effective treatment approach

Demineralization

Early tooth decay caused by plaque acids dissolving enamel minerals, often around braces or in difficult-to-clean areas.

Fluorosis

Excessive fluoride intake during childhood tooth development, causing hypomineralization of enamel.

Enamel Hypoplasia

Incomplete development of enamel due to nutritional deficiencies, illness, or genetic factors during tooth formation.

Diet & Acidity

Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks that erode enamel and create porous areas.

Orthodontic Treatment

Braces can make cleaning difficult, leading to plaque buildup and decalcification around brackets.

Medications

Certain antibiotics and medications taken during childhood can affect enamel development.

Our White Spot Removal Treatments

ICON Resin Infiltration

Our preferred method for white spot removal, ICON uses advanced resin technology that penetrates porous enamel. The resin has similar light-reflecting properties to natural tooth enamel, making white spots virtually disappear. This minimally invasive treatment requires no drilling or anesthesia.

  • Best for: Recent white spots, fluorosis, early decay
  • Treatment time: 45-60 minutes
  • Results: Immediate, natural-looking

Microabrasion

A gentle technique that removes a microscopic layer of enamel using a mild abrasive and acid solution. Effective for superficial white spots with minimal alteration to tooth structure.

  • Best for: Surface-level white spots, mild fluorosis
  • Treatment time: 30-45 minutes
  • Results: Immediate improvement

Composite Bonding

Tooth-colored composite resin is applied to mask white spots and blend seamlessly with surrounding enamel. Ideal for more pronounced discoloration or when infiltration isn't suitable.

  • Best for: Deeper discoloration, larger spots
  • Treatment time: 60-90 minutes
  • Results: Immediate, customizable shade matching

Porcelain Veneers

For extensive white spotting or when other treatments aren't suitable, custom-made porcelain veneers provide the most comprehensive coverage and aesthetic transformation.

  • Best for: Severe fluorosis, multiple spots
  • Treatment time: 2 visits over 2-3 weeks
  • Results: Dramatic, complete smile transformation
