The ICON process works in a single appointment to fill, seal, and strengthen compromised enamel, seamlessly blending the treated areas with the surrounding healthy tooth structure for a cosmetic improvement.
Painless and Child-Friendly: Because it avoids the need for drilling, filling, or numbing, ICON is an ideal, stress-free option, especially for children who experience dental anxiety.
Effective White Spot Correction: It successfully treats white spot lesions, which are frequently caused by poor plaque control during orthodontics (braces) or are the result of early enamel defects (hypocalcification).
Preserves Tooth Health: This technique is conservative, meaning it preserves the maximum amount of healthy tooth structure while stopping the progression of decay.
The Treatment Process: The procedure involves a few simple steps: cleaning the tooth surface, applying a gentle acid to open the pores in the enamel, drying the tooth, and then applying a tooth-colored resin. A curing light is used to harden and set the resin.
