Historically, patients who have been affected by white lesions on their teeth have had to resort to invasive dentistry to mask them. As we all know, all restorations have a finite life span and will eventually need replacing. Lucky, due to modern advancements in dental materials and equipment, white spots, as well as these old restorations can be replaced in a minimally invasive way.
