If the white spots are minimal requiring superficial removal of enamel, then microabrasion is an option. Veneers are done if there is extensive involvement of tooth/teeth.

A clinical picture would benefit us to provide you the better treatment options..... microabrasion can treat only small and superficial spots...... wider and deeper spots would require laminates/veneers for better aesthetic results.... Regards.....

Hi.the the treatment can be decided on depth, number or diameter of lesions .. If the patches are superficial , minute and less in number then micro abrasion is opted ..else you have to undergo veneers or laminates ...A skilful dentist can esthetically cover the patches with composite if patches are small .Please consult a endodontist nearby for further advise .tc

Microabrasion, if it still remains, you can go for Composite filling only at the affected spot. If white spots are large enough then veneers are advised.
