Treatment Methods for White Spots on Teeth (White Spot Lesions), Before-and-After Photos, and Price/Cost

Hello,

We are Yonsei Yegam Dental Clinic, located a 2-minute walk (233 m) from Exit 7 of Seoul City Hall Station.

We are located directly across from the Samsung Main Building.

Today, some people who have white spots or white stains on their teeth come to us because they find these white spots very bothersome and unattractive, so I would like to explain the treatment for such white spot lesions.

Yonsei Yegam Dental Clinic is well known in Seoul and overseas for white spot lesion treatment.

Many patients usually come in saying that they have had these white spots since the teeth erupted.

There are several reasons why white spots, white spot lesions, and white spots on teeth occur.

• Caused by imbalance during permanent tooth formation

• In cases of excessive fluoride intake

• Due to acidic foods

There are several ways to treat white spots.

Resin treatment or laminate treatment have been the methods chosen by dentists for many years.

Since many patients usually feel that laminate is too burdensome, resin treatment is often done by removing only the white area.

Depending on the case, a dentist must determine which method is best. Among these, let’s look at a case treated with resin.

Let’s look at the white spot lesion treatment before, during, and after through one patient’s case.

This photo shows a different angle.

The white spots are removed very delicately. (Similar to the process of removing early decay.)

After delicate removal. Before resin filling.

The photo above shows the white spot area removed delicately, before resin is filled.

If it is removed clearly and physically like this, it is not easy for the white spot to recur.

Of course, you cannot just go home after the area has been removed like this. The tooth is restored with resin to match its original shape.

These are before-and-after photos of white spot treatment.

The treatment takes about 20 minutes, within 30 minutes,

and because it can be completed in one day, it is one of the treatments that patients are very satisfied with.

Most patients seek white spot lesion treatment for cosmetic reasons. In other words, patients come for treatment with the goal of improving the aesthetic appearance.

How natural it looks depends on the dentist’s skill and also on the material.

Patients’ tooth colors are not uniform, and even within the same tooth, there is not a single color but a mix of different brightness levels, shades, and saturation.

At Yonsei Yegam Dental Clinic, we stock various shades and different brands of resin,

and we strive to create beautiful front teeth using the most appropriate resin for each patient.

Yonsei Yegam Dental Clinic near Seoul City Hall Station: White Spot Lesion Treatment Cost (2025 기준)

★Examination: Health insurance premiums as set by the National Health Insurance Service are applied. All treatment requires a prior diagnosis by the treating dentist.

★White spot lesion resin: KRW 250,000 (basic) ~ KRW 300,000 (very large cases) / per tooth

The cost of white spot resin treatment is much higher than that for a regular molar.

Unlike molars, where the color is hidden inside the mouth, front teeth are very noticeable, so even the slightest color difference stands out immediately. That means it is necessary to use not molar-type resin but resins from brands with a variety of shades,

and it requires much more of the dentist’s aesthetic skill than with molars.

Below is a review from a patient who went to another dental clinic near Sinsa Station and was quoted KRW 400,000 for white spot resin treatment, then came back to our Yonsei Yegam Dental Clinic near City Hall Station!

If the white spot area is too large, or if the white spot lesion has already developed into a severely extensive cavity, or if you want to change the tooth shape and alignment as well,

laminate may also be worth considering.
