White spots on teeth can affect the appearance of your smile, making teeth look uneven or discolored. These spots often result from enamel demineralization, fluorosis or orthodontic treatments. Fortunately, resin infiltration is a minimally invasive solution that blends white spots with the natural tooth color for a uniform and healthy-looking smile. Dr. Nathan Gray and Dr. Mechay R. Gray offer professional white spot treatment to help patients achieve smooth and even tooth surfaces.
How Resin Infiltration Works
Resin infiltration is an advanced technique designed to treat white spots without the need for drilling or removing tooth structure. The procedure involves gently preparing the enamel, applying a specialized resin and hardening it with a curing light. This process allows the resin to penetrate the porous enamel, masking the white spots and creating a more even appearance. Unlike traditional whitening treatments, resin infiltration does not bleach teeth but instead restores a balanced translucency.
Many patients choose resin infiltration because it is:
- A minimally invasive treatment that does not require drilling
- Effective in reducing the appearance of white spots in a single visit
- Long-lasting with proper care and oral hygiene
- A painless alternative to more extensive cosmetic procedures
A Conservative and Effective Solution
Because no anesthesia or drilling is needed, resin infiltration preserves the natural tooth structure while delivering noticeable cosmetic improvements. Our dentists and team at White Oak Family Dentistry use this treatment to improve the uniformity of tooth color and strengthen weakened enamel by sealing demineralized areas. This approach not only enhances aesthetics but also helps protect teeth from further damage.
