White spots removal
Sandy, Bedfordshire
White spots on teeth can leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile. With ICON, a revolutionary non-invasive treatment, you can achieve smooth, even teeth without the need for drilling or needles. It’s fast, gentle, and highly effective.
What is ICON white spots removal?
ICON is an innovative treatment designed to gently remove white spots caused by enamel defects, braces, fluorosis, or early decay. Using a specially formulated resin, it penetrates the enamel to fill and blend the white spots with the surrounding tooth.
This simple, painless treatment restores the natural look of your teeth, leaving them smooth, even, and beautifully balanced. ICON not only improves your smile’s appearance but also strengthens the enamel, giving you confidence in both how your teeth look and feel.
Why consider this treatment?
ICON offers a solution that not only improves aesthetics but also reinforces enamel, helping to prevent further decay. White spots can result from various factors, including:
Enamel demineralisation
Often due to braces or suboptimal oral hygiene.
Fluorosis
Excessive fluoride exposure leading to enamel discoloration.
Early tooth decay
Initial stages of decay manifesting as white lesions
What is the process?
Assessment and preparation
We begin with a thorough examination to confirm ICON is the right treatment for your case. The affected tooth is then cleaned, and a gentle etching gel is applied to open the enamel pores.
Infiltration
The specially formulated ICON resin is applied to the tooth, penetrating and filling the porous white spot lesions to blend seamlessly with the surrounding enamel.
Curing
A special light is used to harden the resin, stabilising the treated area and ensuring durability.
Polishing
The treated tooth is polished to create a smooth, glossy finish that matches the natural appearance of your enamel.
No, ICON treatment is painless and typically requires no anaesthesia.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, ICON results can last for several years. Maintenance may be needed in some cases, depending on the cause of the white spots and lifestyle habits.
It’s best to avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and highly pigmented foods for at least 48 hours after treatment. Smoking should also be avoided during this period.
Yes, you can whiten your teeth after ICON treatment. However, it’s recommended to wait at least 1–2 weeks to allow the resin to fully stabilise.
ICON treatment can be repeated if needed, but it’s usually a one-time procedure for each tooth unless new white spots develop. Your dentist will guide you based on your specific situation.
