White spots can draw attention every time you smile. They can come from early decay, fluorosis, braces, or developmental conditions, but they do not have to be permanent.
As part of our cosmetic dentistry care, Dr. Charles Poblenz and our team find the cause of your white spots and build a treatment plan that improves their appearance while preserving the natural structure of your teeth.

Knowing the cause helps us choose the right treatment.
Plaque around brackets and wires produces acids that demineralize enamel in small areas.
Too much fluoride while teeth are forming can cause white streaks or speckles.
Chalky white areas can be an early stage of decay before a cavity forms.
Conditions like hypoplasia and hypomineralization can cause spots from the time teeth erupt.
Dr. Poblenz recommends an option based on the cause, depth, and location of your spots.
A mild acid and abrasive compound gently removes a microscopic layer of enamel to lift superficial spots. Sessions take about 30 to 60 minutes, often with noticeable improvement in one visit.
Tooth-colored composite resin covers more pronounced spots and is shaped and polished to blend in. Learn about dental bonding.
Professional teeth whitening can even out the surrounding tooth color, which can help mild spots stand out less.
For bigger changes in color or shape, porcelain veneers may be worth comparing.
Dr. Poblenz was born and raised in Jensen Beach, Florida, and earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of North Florida, where he volunteered as a dental assistant at the I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless. He earned his DMD from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry in 2015 and returned to Jacksonville to begin his career. He and our team complete continuing education well beyond Florida requirements each year.
Through the Donated Dental Services program, he also provides complimentary care for vulnerable individuals in the Jacksonville community.

White spots form where enamel has lost minerals. Common causes include plaque buildup around braces, too much fluoride while teeth were forming, early decay, and developmental conditions that affect enamel.
Some very early spots improve with good hygiene and fluoride, but many remain visible. An exam can tell whether a spot is an early cavity that needs attention or a cosmetic concern.
Microabrasion uses a mild acid and abrasive compound to gently remove a microscopic layer of enamel and lift superficial white spots. It is conservative and often shows noticeable improvement in one visit.
Yes. For deeper or more pronounced spots, tooth-colored composite resin can be applied, shaped, and polished to blend with your natural teeth.
Whitening does not remove white spots, but it can even out the surrounding color so mild spots are less noticeable. Dr. Poblenz will tell you whether whitening alone is likely to help.
A microabrasion session usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and bonding is typically done in one visit. Your plan depends on how many teeth are affected and which treatment you choose.
Brush carefully around every bracket, floss daily with orthodontic tools or a water flosser, limit sugary and acidic drinks, and keep up with your cleanings.
Coverage depends on your plan and whether treatment is cosmetic or addresses early decay. We are in network with BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Cigna, Aetna, and Florida Combined Life. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment.
