Dental microabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that removes superficial enamel stains using a controlled combination of mild acid and mechanical abrasion. It is ideal for treating pigmentation that doesn't disappear with conventional whitening.
With safe techniques and state-of-the-art materials, this treatment improves enamel color without damaging tooth structure.

Why do superficial stains appear on enamel?
Superficial stains form due to alterations in the outermost layer of the tooth and can have various causes:
• White stains from demineralization.
• Yellow or coffee stains from mild fluorosis.
• Pigmentations from blows or trauma in temporary teeth.
• Defects in enamel mineralization.
These stains can affect smile aesthetics, even in patients with healthy teeth.

How is dental microabrasion performed?
A safe and precise protocol is followed:
1) Tooth cleaning to remove plaque or residue.
2) Isolation to protect gums and soft tissues.
3) Application of a special abrasive agent on the stained area.
4) Controlled rubbing to remove superficial layers of affected enamel.
5) Washing and final polishing to restore shine and uniformity to the tooth.
The procedure is quick, painless, and results are immediate.

Who are ideal candidates for this treatment?
• Patients with white or yellow stains from demineralization.
• Young adults with mild fluorosis.
• People with stains from childhood trauma.
