What to know
ICON White Spot Treatment, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
ICON is a resin infiltration treatment for white spot lesions, the chalky marks that often appear after braces or from early enamel demineralization. It improves the look of these spots while helping to stop them from progressing.
Your dentist isolates the teeth, applies a mild gel to open the porous surface of the white spot, and then dries it. A clear, very fluid resin is applied that soaks into the enamel and is hardened with a curing light, so the spot reflects light more like the surrounding tooth.
White spots are areas of weakened enamel that scatter light differently, which is why they stand out. Filling them with resin helps them blend with the rest of the tooth and reinforces the enamel, without removing healthy tooth structure.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about icon white spot treatment.
No drilling is involved, and most patients don't need anesthetic. The treatment is conservative because the resin works within your existing enamel.
It works well on many white spots caused by demineralization, such as those left after braces. Results depend on how deep the spot is and what caused it, so your dentist will evaluate yours before recommending treatment.
Because the resin is sealed into the enamel, treated spots typically stay improved with good oral hygiene. Your dentist will keep an eye on the area at your regular visits.
