White Spots — Harmless but Visible
White, opaque areas on teeth are a widespread aesthetic concern. They occur when the mineral structure of the tooth enamel is altered in places. The causes are varied.
- •After Braces: Fixed brackets make cleaning difficult. White, demineralised areas frequently form around the bonding sites and become visible after the braces are removed.
- •Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride intake during childhood can lead to whitish enamel changes that spread across the entire tooth surface.
- •Developmental Enamel Disorders (MIH): Molar-incisor hypomineralisation is a structural disorder of the enamel that manifests in whitish-brownish spots — particularly on molars and incisors.
All these changes affect the light refraction of the tooth enamel: the porous areas reflect light differently from healthy enamel and therefore appear brighter.
Filling Pores, Matching Appearance
Enamel infiltration uses a specially developed, low-viscosity resin that penetrates through capillary forces into the porous structures of the altered enamel and fills the cavities.
Since the infiltrant refracts light similarly to healthy tooth enamel, the white spots visually disappear or become significantly less noticeable. Natural tooth substance is not removed — the procedure maximally preserves healthy tooth substance.
Minimally Invasive and Immediately Effective
No Drilling, No Anaesthesia
The treatment is generally absolutely low in discomfort. Healthy tooth substance is largely preserved, as nothing is removed.
Immediately Visible Result
After just one session of approximately 30 to 45 minutes, white spots are significantly reduced or no longer visible in many cases.
Natural Aesthetics
The infiltrant adapts to the natural light refraction of the enamel. The result appears harmonious and inconspicuous.
Long-Term Stability
The cured resin permanently seals the porous areas and simultaneously protects against further progression of demineralisation.
Experiences of Our Patients
Aesthetics Without Substance Loss
Enamel infiltration is a gentle alternative to more elaborate measures such as veneers or composite build-ups. Particularly for white spots in the front tooth area, it offers a very good ratio of effort to result.
You receive a <strong>transparent treatment and cost plan</strong> in advance, so you can decide at your leisure.
Is the Treatment Subsidised?
Enamel infiltration is a private service. Since it primarily serves aesthetic purposes, statutory health insurers generally do not cover the costs.
- ✓Billing follows the dental fee schedule.
- ✓Private health insurers generally reimburse the costs.
- ✓Compared to veneers or composite veneers, infiltration is significantly more affordable.
In a Few Steps to Even Teeth
Cleaning and Preparation
The tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned. If necessary, the treatment area is isolated with a rubber dam (cofferdam).
Pre-Treatment (Etching)
A special gel opens the outer enamel surface so that the infiltrant gains access to the porous areas.
Infiltration
The low-viscosity resin is applied and penetrates deeply into the pores of the altered enamel through capillary forces.
Curing and Polishing
The resin is cured with a special light lamp. Finally, the surface is polished to a high gloss.
One of the Most Pleasant Treatments
Enamel infiltration is particularly suitable for patients who feel uncomfortable at the dentist: there is neither drilling nor anaesthesia involved. The entire treatment proceeds calmly and in a relaxed manner. Particularly younger patients after the removal of fixed braces appreciate this low-discomfort approach.
