Icon Treatment for White Spot Removal: A Minimally Invasive Solution
Are you concerned about white spots on your teeth that affect your smile? These spots can result from mineralization disorders, fluoride exposure during tooth development, or post-orthodontic treatment demineralization. Fortunately, icon treatment offers an innovative and minimally invasive solution for white spots removal without the need for drilling or invasive procedures.
What is Icon Treatment?
Icon treatment for teeth is a modern technique designed to treat white-spot lesions and hypo-calcified enamel spots that occur due to enamel mineralization issues. These imperfections often develop due to childhood enamel damage, prolonged exposure to fluoride, or post-orthodontic decalcification. Unlike traditional methods that require fillings or veneers, icon resin infiltration works by penetrating the porous enamel and restoring its natural appearance, creating a more even and brighter smile (see before & after photo here).
How Does Icon Treatment Work?
The icon treatment procedure is quick, pain-free, and does not require anesthesia. The process includes the following steps:
- Cleaning the teeth thoroughly to remove any surface debris.
- Applying an acid solution to open the pores of the affected enamel, allowing the resin to penetrate deeper and target the white spots more effectively.
- Infiltrating the porous enamel with the icon resin multiple times to balance the tooth structure and reduce white spots.
- Polishing and finishing the treatment to ensure a smooth and natural-looking result.
The entire procedure typically takes between 60 and 80 minutes, depending on the number of teeth being treated. Unlike traditional whitening treatments, which may not effectively reduce hypo spots, icon treatment provides long-lasting and highly aesthetic results.
