What Causes White Spots on Teeth?
White spots can have several causes, and the cause affects which treatment will work best. Common causes include:
After braces Plaque that builds up around brackets can weaken the enamel and leave white marks once the braces come off.
Early enamel weakening White, chalky patches can be an early sign that the enamel is losing minerals, often near the gum line.
Marks from when teeth were developing Some white marks form before the teeth come through and have been there for as long as you can remember.
We examine your teeth to work out which is most likely in your case, and check that the enamel is healthy before recommending cosmetic treatment.
What Are Your Options?
The right approach depends on the size, depth and cause of the marks. After examining your teeth, we tell you what we recommend and why. Your plan may include:
Lightening the surrounding teeth can help white marks blend in. Currently £299 (usually £350).
For some patients, a combination works best. See before-and-after photos of treatment at the practice in our smile gallery.
How Can I Prevent New White Spots?
- Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, taking extra care around braces or aligner attachments
- Cut down on how often you have sugary food and drinks
- Keep up regular check-ups and hygiene appointments, so we can spot early changes in your enamel

Frequently Asked Questions
Can white spots be removed?
Often they can be made much less noticeable. What is possible depends on the marks, and we tell you what to expect at your appointment.
Are white spots a sign of decay?
Not always. Some white patches are an early sign of the enamel losing minerals, which can lead to decay if left. Others formed while the teeth were developing and are not linked to decay. We check at your appointment.
Can whitening make white spots more noticeable?
For some people, white marks can stand out more straight after whitening, before the colour settles. We explain whether whitening suits your marks before you start.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost depends on the treatment that suits you. Whitening is currently £299 (usually £350), and we confirm the full price in writing before you commit.
I have just had my braces removed. Should I wait?
Book an appointment and we will look at the marks. We can advise whether to treat them now or give your teeth time first.
