New, non-invasive restorative way to treat white spot lesions on your teeth, one of a few clinics offering this in Bangkok.
Resin infiltration is a ultra-conservative approach to treat white spot lesions on your teeth. This new technique is minimally invasive, ensuring we maintain a conservative approach to improve aesthetics. Before now, our only choices were invasive methods which requires such as "fillings or veneers", which require permanently drilling away large amount tooth, or micro-abrasion techniques, which also strip away enamel. We believe that this is the very best treatment option for removing white spot lesions.
It is a long-lasting treatment which can last for 2-6 years and typically does not required repeated application. Please keep in mind, it cannot always completely eliminated white spot lesions or hypoplastic spots on teeth, however, it can significantly improve discoloration.
Teeth whitening is usually recommended before resin infiltration for 2 weeks to allow
