white patches on teeth

[Gloria]

I would like your opinion regarding white patches on my teeth that have been present since the teeth came through. I am in my thirtees and want these white patches removed from my teeth. I have tried teeth whitening both laser and home and the patches are still there.

I wonder if you feel Lumineers would be a good option for me and are Lumineers able to get rid of these white patches?

Hi

Thank you for your email. White patches can be a difficult thing to remove from teeth. I always recommend starting with teeth whitening to see if the white patches can be made less obvious.

If both laser teeth whitening and home teeth whitening does not work, then you could try acid micro-abrasion, although this can be very unpredictable.

Composite veneers can also be used to cover the patches and they usually work well to hide the white patches on teeth. After a few years, composite veneers may need to be repaired as they can stain, although the repair is a pretty quick and easy thing to do.

Lumineers will certainly work well to hide the white patches on teeth. The supreme white shade of lumineers cement together with the lumineers, could hide the white patches on your teeth very well indeed.
