White or brown stains on teeth can be a major problem, especially when they occur in an aesthetic area. These stains can be caused by ingesting excessive amounts of fluoride or simply after orthodontic treatment.
Traditionally, the removal of these stains involved mutilating the tooth and filling it with composite, or opting directly for dental veneers or crowns.
With the introduction of these two systems, Opalustre and Icon, we now have the ability to eliminate these white or brown spot lesions in one simple, painless treatment, with no need for drilling.
Opalustre paste, composed of 6.6 % hydrochloric acid and containing microparticles of silicon carbide, treats surface imperfections by mechanical abrasion and non-aggressive chemical action.
After just a few applications of Opalustre paste, mild to moderate decalcification can be eliminated or significantly reduced.
Minimal to moderate dental fluorosis
The treatment of early caries lesions (non
cavities)
More severe fluorosis, which is manifested by the presence of deeper brown spots all over the surface of the tooth, requires the application of dental veneers.
Our dentist will examine your case, and will then assess the appropriate treatment for your situation.
