ICON white spot removal is a revolutionary procedure in cosmetic dentistry that targets white spots or enamel lesions on teeth. These white spots can result from factors like demineralization, fluorosis, or orthodontic treatment with braces. The ICON technique employs a resin infiltration process to effectively treat these spots without the need for drilling or anesthesia.

During the procedure, the tooth’s surface is first cleaned and dried. Then, a special gel is applied to open up the pores in the enamel, allowing the resin to penetrate deeply. The ICON resin, which has a low viscosity, is then applied to the affected area. This resin infiltrates the enamel, filling in the porous areas and masking the white spots. It blends seamlessly with the natural tooth structure, restoring the tooth’s color and translucency.

One of the key benefits of ICON white spot removal is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike traditional methods that involve drilling or removing healthy tooth structure, ICON preserves the integrity of the tooth while effectively treating the white spots. Additionally, the procedure is typically completed in a single visit to the dentist, with minimal discomfort or sensitivity experienced by the patient.

Overall, ICON white spot removal offers a conservative and efficient solution for improving the aesthetics of teeth affected by white spots, helping patients achieve a more uniform and attractive smile with long-lasting results.
