At Clínica Dental Miravéco, we care about your oral health and offer you the best solutions to maintain a radiant and healthy smile. A common condition that affects many people is enamel hypomineralization, which is manifested by white or brown stains on the teeth.
What is enamel hypomineralization?
Enamel hypomineralization is a condition in which the tooth enamel and sometimes dentin are much weaker than usual. This weakness is reflected in visible staining of the teeth, which can range from a dull white to a darker brown.
Consequences of hypomineralization
In addition to the aesthetic impact, teeth affected by hypomineralization are more susceptible to a number of oral health problems:
- Cavities: Teeth with weak enamel are more prone to developing cavities due to the greater ease with which bacteria can penetrate and damage the tooth.
- Fractures: The weakened structure of enamel and dentin increases the risk of fractures, even with normal tooth wear.
- Wear: Hypomineralized teeth wear more quickly, which can lead to increased sensitivity and other dental problems.
Treatments at Miravéco Dental Clinic
At Miravéco, we understand the importance of addressing both the esthetic and health aspects of enamel hypomineralization. That is why we offer treatments that respect the original tooth structure as much as possible, following a minimally invasive approach.
Our specialists will evaluate your particular situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include:
- Remineralization: Application of products that help strengthen the enamel and reduce the visibility of stains.
- Microabrasion: Technique that removes a small layer of surface enamel to reduce stains.
