What is Icon Treatment?
Icon treatment, or icon resin infiltration, is a minimally invasive restorative treatment that helps remove white-spot lesions (WSLs) from your teeth. WSLs are caused by a build-up of bacteria and plaque that can result in mineral loss and demineralization, leading to white spots on the surface of your teeth. Icon treatment was developed as an alternative to traditional methods, such as drilling or bleaching, which can be more invasive and may not always provide satisfactory results. Here’s how the treatment works:
- After cleaning your teeth, we apply a gel that removes the outer layer of enamel, allowing the Icon resin to absorb.
- Next, we dry the affected portion of your teeth while protecting your gums and soft tissue around your mouth.
- Once dry, the Icon resin is applied to the surface of your teeth and the area is cured using a curing light.
- Upon completion, we will ensure your teeth are polished, rinsed, and ready for the world to see!
Why Use Icon?
As mentioned, other methods exist for removing white spots from your teeth, such as bleaching or drilling. However, as you might imagine, these restoration techniques are more invasive and troublesome than some patients prefer. Conversely, Icon treatment can be completed without the fuss of other dental procedures. Some of the benefits of using Icon include:
- Minimally Invasive – Icon treatment does not require drilling or extensive dental work, making it a gentler option for those wary of traditional procedures.
- Quick and Efficient – The procedure can be completed in a single visit and in a matter of minutes, saving patients time and inconvenience.
- Immediate Results – Many patients see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their teeth immediately after the treatment.
- Long-lasting Effects – With proper oral hygiene, the results of Icon can last for years, maintaining your bright smile.
- Painless Process – This treatment is pain-free, with no drills or needles, eliminating the need for anesthetics or additional pain-control methods.
- Safe for All Ages – Icon is suitable for both adults and children, providing a versatile option for families seeking cosmetic enhancements.
