What Can The Procedure Correct?
This procedure works best to remove white spot lesions on teeth (especially from braces), a procedure that needed a filling or crown before. This new minimally invasive product is used to fill and reinforce the pore system of a white lesion, allowing it to blend into the tooth structure. Taking away the need to drill out the white spot and fill it, or prep the whole tooth and crown it!.
This is a simple one-visit procedure that can stop the progression of early enamel lesions and remove white spot lesions with no drilling or anesthesia. This technique holds a real advantage over other procedures that may involve drilling, anesthesia, repeat visits, additional bleaching, bonding touch-ups, or veneers.
How does Icon Treatment Work?
This technique is called Caries infiltration and it works by utilizing a low viscosity resin, which sinks deep into the white spot. This revitalizes the pores in the tooth replacing lost tooth structure and stopping any further caries (decay) progression as well as bringing the tooth color back and removing the white spots.
