Are white spots getting in the way of your beautiful smile?
Not for Shelly! She recently came in to see us to remove a white spot on her tooth. And we were able to take the spot off in one, short appointment…without any drilling!
We removed the spot using a white spot removal treatment called ICON that uses a smooth surface resin to gently scrub away the white spot. Now Shelly’s new smile is already making Burien a little more brighter!
Compared to the traditional solution of drilling to remove a tooth’s white spot, the ICON treatment won’t harm the tooth’s enamel by filing down or drilling past the surface of the tooth.
This spot removal treatment is minimally invasive, requires no anesthetics and it can be completed in about 45 minutes.
What Causes White Spots?
Dull, white spots on the surface of your teeth are usually the result of a loss of minerals in the enamel layer of the tooth.
Even if you practice excellent oral hygiene and stay on top of your regular exams and cleanings, white spots can develop on your teeth. What causes them? There can be a variety of factors that cause white spots on your teeth, including consuming too many acidic and sugary foods/drinks, your genetics, tooth trauma, poor dental hygiene, even certain medications.
Your smile is truly a wonderful thing. It offers health benefits to your mind and body, helps people feel better, and it makes a lasting, positive impression. In fact, studies show that smiling makes a person appear more attractive, and capable, to other people.
