ICON Infiltration Treatment for White Spots
Icon treatment provides a simple and non-invasive way to reduce or eliminate white (and sometimes brown spots) in the enamel of front teeth. The surface of the tooth is cleaned and etched until the resin infiltration can flow into the micro-spaces between the natural tooth crystals. This allows light to penetrate and mask the white area. The treatment uses your own tooth mineral as the "filling" and just adds a liquid "sealer".
The above before and after photos of Dr Roche's work illustrate the potential results with the Icon system. Individual results will vary. If a person desires further colour masking, minimally invasive filling coverage is the next step. We want you happy with your smile!
- No freezing or drilling (only polishing)
- Minimally invasive
- Results are best after initial take-home whitening treatment is concluded as whitening will also help reduce the appearance of high-contrast white spots prior to Icon
- Will not affect any future whitening
- Masking effectiveness depends on the depth of the white spot, but expect significant improvement
- Every person and tooth is individual and results will vary
