How Do You Remove White Spots On Teeth?
White spots on teeth can be an unwelcome surprise, impacting the evenness of your smile and often leading to self-consciousness. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to address these spots and restore the natural beauty of your teeth. In this post, we’ll explore common causes of white spots, why they appear, and how modern dental treatments—especially Icon Vestibular at Starbright Dental—can provide a solution.
Why Do White Spots Appear on Teeth?
White spots on teeth can result from various factors, including:
Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride intake during childhood can cause a chalky white appearance on the enamel.
Enamel Hypoplasia: Enamel underdevelopment, often due to genetic factors or environmental factors, can lead to visible white spots.
Orthodontic Treatment: Patients with braces may develop white spots if plaque builds up around brackets, leading to decalcification in those areas.
Understanding the cause is essential in choosing the most suitable treatment method. At Starbright Dental, we offer comprehensive assessments to determine the cause of white spots and recommend the best treatment option.
Icon Vestibular: A Non-Invasive Solution to Remove White Spots
One of the most effective treatments for white spots is Icon Vestibular, a non-invasive infiltration technology. Unlike traditional treatments that may require drilling or removing layers of enamel, Icon uses a special resin to infiltrate the white spots, blending them seamlessly with the surrounding enamel.
How Icon Vestibular Works: During the procedure, a dentist applies a specialised Icon resin to the affected area. The resin is absorbed by the porous white spots, which helps to restore a smooth, uniform appearance. The process is pain-free and typically completed in one visit, making it ideal for patients who prefer a minimally invasive approach to cosmetic dentistry.

Other Treatments for White Spots
In some cases, patients may benefit from additional treatments to enhance the appearance of their teeth:
Teeth Whitening: For patients with general discolouration, professional teeth whitening can be combined with Icon to create a brighter, more consistent smile.
Composite Bonding: In cases where white spots are larger or cover a significant part of the tooth, composite bonding can be used to cover the area, matching the surrounding tooth shade.
Veneers: For a complete smile transformation, veneers are a cosmetic option that covers the tooth’s surface and can address multiple aesthetic concerns, including white spots.
