Esteem Dental & Orthodontics
Understanding White Spots on Teeth
White spots on teeth appear as opaque, chalky areas that contrast with the surrounding tooth enamel. They commonly develop after orthodontic treatment when braces are removed, revealing areas where minerals have been lost from the tooth surface. This post-orthodontic decalcification occurs because brackets make thorough cleaning difficult, allowing plaque to accumulate and damage the enamel.
Other causes include dental fluorosis from excessive fluoride exposure during childhood, enamel hypoplasia resulting from developmental issues, and poor oral hygiene leading to early stages of decay. Regardless of the cause, these discolorations can significantly impact your smile aesthetics and self-confidence, making professional treatment a worthwhile consideration.
Advanced White Spot Removal Techniques
At Esteem Dental, we understand every patient is unique, so we offer a range of white spot removal treatments tailored to your individual needs, oral health, preferences, and the underlying cause of your white spots.
ICON Resin Infiltration
ICON resin infiltration represents one of the most innovative approaches to treating white spot lesions. This minimally invasive procedure uses a special resin that penetrates the porous enamel, filling the microscopic spaces and eliminating the appearance of white spots. The treatment requires no drilling or anesthesia, preserving your natural tooth structure while delivering immediate aesthetic improvements.
Microabrasion
Microabrasion offers an effective solution for shallow white spots on teeth. During this procedure, our cosmetic dentists gently remove a microscopic layer of enamel using a specialized abrasive compound. This technique works particularly well for fluorosis and superficial enamel defects, revealing the healthier tooth structure beneath and creating a more uniform appearance.
Professional Teeth Whitening
For certain types of discoloration, professional teeth whitening services can help balance the overall tooth color, making white spots less noticeable. At our Downtown Orlando dental office, we use advanced whitening technology that’s significantly more effective than over-the-counter products. Our customized approach ensures optimal results while minimizing sensitivity.
Cosmetic Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to cover white spots and match your natural tooth color. This affordable treatment can dramatically improve the appearance of discolored teeth in just one visit. Our dental aesthetics experts carefully blend the composite material to ensure seamless integration with your natural tooth structure.
Porcelain Veneers
For more severe cases of discoloration, porcelain veneers provide a comprehensive solution. These thin, custom-made shells cover the front surface of affected teeth, completely transforming their appearance. Veneers offer exceptional durability and stain resistance, making them an excellent long-term solution for persistent white spots.
Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Member of Your Family
From preventive checkups to complete smile makeovers, our experienced team provides personalized care in a welcoming environment.
Customized Treatment Plans
Every smile is unique, which is why Dr. Jones and our team at Esteem Dental create personalized treatment plans for each patient. During your consultation at our Lake Nona office, we’ll conduct a thorough examination to determine the cause and extent of your white spots. Using this information, we’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your specific situation.
We consider multiple factors when developing your plan, including the cause of discoloration, the depth of the white spots, your budget, and your desired timeline. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment for your individual needs, resulting in natural-looking results that restore your confidence.
The Importance of Professional Care
While some at-home remedies claim to address white spots, professional dental care offers the safest and most effective approach. Our experienced cosmetic dentistry team uses advanced techniques that preserve tooth structure while delivering superior results. Additionally, professional treatment addresses the underlying causes of white spots, helping prevent future discoloration.
Another advantage of seeking treatment at Esteem Dental is our ability to combine multiple techniques when necessary. For example, we might recommend ICON resin infiltration followed by professional whitening for comprehensive results that address both the white spots and overall tooth color.
