Icon White Spot Treatment

Gentle, Drill-Free Treatment for a Natural-Looking Smile

White spots on your teeth can be a cause of self-consciousness, especially after orthodontic treatment. At Orchard House Dental Practice, we’re pleased to offer Icon White Spot Treatment – a minimally invasive, pain-free way to reduce or eliminate unsightly white marks and restore the natural look of your teeth.

What Are White Spots?

White spots are often the result of enamel demineralisation caused by:

• Early stages of tooth decay
• Fluorosis (excess fluoride during enamel formation)
• Developmental issues
• Wearing fixed braces

These stains can disrupt the even tone of your teeth, but thanks to Icon, we now have a gentle, highly effective way to treat them.

How Does Icon Work?

1. Before Treatment: White patches are identified as areas of porosity in the enamel.
2. Application: A special gel prepares the enamel before the Icon resin infiltrant is applied. This fills the pores and is then light-cured.
3. After Treatment: The resin mimics the natural enamel, blending the treated area seamlessly with surrounding tooth structure – without drilling or removing healthy tooth tissue.

Benefits of Icon Treatment

• No drilling or anaesthetic needed
• Pain-free and fast
• Preserves healthy tooth structure
• Effective on a range of white spot causes
• Long-lasting cosmetic results
