I have had white spots<\/a> covering about half of my two front teeth for years since I was little. They make my smile look really white in pictures, but up close they are very distinct, expecially if I’m sick or tired. I like how they are so white but is there a way to get all of my teeth the same color as my white spots without Lumineers<\/a> and without teeth whitening<\/a> all of my teeth so my white spots get whiter… Is it possible to whiten my other teeth and not my white spots?
\n– Jessica<\/p>\n

Jessica,
\nYes, it is possible to whiten all your teeth but these two front ones. But while many dentists can do tooth bleaching<\/a>, I believe this selective teeth bleaching needs an expert cosmetic dentist<\/a> such as we list on our web site.<\/p>\n

I would do this with the dentist-supervised at-home bleaching, where a custom tray is made for you. The dentist would just cut out the part of the tray around these two front teeth, which would prevent them from getting whitened.<\/p>\n

There are various kinds of white spots that can be found on teeth. One type is an early sign of tooth decay<\/a>. When the teeth are found to have white spots after braces<\/a> are taken off, this is usually a beginning stage of decay. If this is the case, tooth bonding is the recommended solution.\u00a0Or, they can be on the teeth since the teeth came in, which appears to be your case. Microabrasion<\/a> can be used to treat these spots, but it leaves the teeth a little darker.
