Our expert team can remove white spots from your teeth with the amazing Icon treatment at our dental practice.
Icon treatment can restore the natural colour of your teeth by removing white spots.
Advanced technologies like Icon can even remove white spots, enamel defects and fluorosis (white or brown speckling of the enamel).
Icon treatment can achieve amazing results in just one appointment, this is without any drilling or anaesthetic. With proper care, your results can last for up to 5 years.
White stains and discolouration are typical, with a variety of causes. Fluorosis is a cosmetic issue that results from the teeth’ exposure to too much fluoride, resulting in white or brown speckling on the teeth.
When minerals leave the surface of a tooth, it is known as decalcification. This is typically caused by poor dental hygiene or a diet high in sugar. Trauma, disease, and Molar Incisal Hypoplasia are other reasons for white spots.
The procedure usually takes one session. We’ll start by cleaning your teeth and surrounding gums and soft tissues. Then we’ll apply a special solution to the white spots, which will open the pores and allow a tooth-coloured resin to penetrate your teeth to restore your smile’s colour.
A light is used to harden the resin before we provide your teeth with a final polish for a flawless finish. The resin used has an added advantage of blocking the acids that can weaken and wear away tooth enamel, helping to prevent tooth decay. The treatment is pain-free, and the spot becomes virtually invisible and you won’t need to go under general anaesthetic or take time off work.
The effects of Icon treatment are unpredictable in some cases. if we’re treating several teeth or your teeth are resistant to the therapy, you might require additional treatments on rare occasions like tooth whitening for better results
The effects of Icon treatment are unpredictable in some cases. If we’re treating several teeth or your teeth are resistant to the therapy, you might require additional treatments on rare occasions.
It is essential to keep your teeth clean and healthful. Brush for two minutes twice a day and floss on a daily basis. Maintain a diet low in sugar and have dental check-ups and hygiene sessions at least once every six months (or as advised by your dentist).
The Icon treatment is painless because it is non-invasive.
For the most part, patients will notice results for around two years. However, there are patients who have undergone Icon therapy but still have no white spots after five or more years. It’s vital to note that Icon treatment is not permanent; additional treatments may be necessary for the future.
Unfortunately, teeth whitening has little effect on white marks and they will remain a lighter white compared to the rest of the tooth. It may help improve aesthetics in combination with white spot icon treatment
