White Spot Lesion Treatment in Washington, DC
Restore Confidence with Subtle, Non-Invasive Cosmetic Treatment
Do you notice white, chalky spots on your teeth that don’t seem to go away, no matter how well you brush or floss? These are called white spot lesions, and they can affect the way you feel about your smile.
At Washington Center for Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we offer minimally invasive treatment options to reduce or eliminate the appearance of white spots. This helps restore natural balance and beauty to your teeth without drilling or discomfort.
What Are White Spot Lesions?
White spot lesions are areas of enamel demineralization that often appear as opaque, milky white marks on the tooth surface. They are most common:
- After orthodontic treatment (especially braces)
- In patients with fluorosis
- As an early sign of tooth decay
- Following enamel hypoplasia or developmental issues
- Due to plaque buildup and prolonged exposure to acids
Though usually not painful, these spots can be highly noticeable, especially on front teeth. They can impact the overall aesthetic of your smile.

Why Do Patients Choose to Treat White Spots?
While white spots are often not medically urgent, many patients seek cosmetic treatment for reasons such as:
- Improving smile uniformity
- Boosting self-confidence
- Post-orthodontic cosmetic correction
- Enhancing their professional appearance
If you’re self-conscious about white spots when smiling or taking photos, we can help.
Advanced White Spot Treatment Options We Offer
At our Washington, DC, dental office, we use the latest cosmetic techniques to treat white spots without the need for drilling or anesthetic. Common solutions include:
1. Icon Resin Infiltration
A revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that penetrates and fills the porous enamel beneath the white spot. This technique restores the tooth’s natural translucency, often in just one visit.
Best for: Early enamel lesions, post-braces spots, fluorosis
2. Microabrasion
This method removes a very thin layer of enamel to minimize or eliminate shallow white spots.
Best for: Surface-level spots and mild discoloration
3. Composite Bonding or Veneers
In more advanced cases where lesions are deeper, cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers may be recommended for lasting aesthetic correction.
Best for: Deep hypoplasia, multiple-spot coverage, resistant cases
Our team will assess your condition during your consultation and recommend the ideal treatment for your smile.
