ICON™ enhances the look of decalcifications or developmental spots in white, yellow, or brown hues on tooth surfaces. These decalcifications are essentially early-stage cavities, and if not addressed promptly, they can progress into full-fledged dental cavities, necessitating traditional restorative procedures. In just a single appointment, ICON is expertly applied to permeate the tooth surfaces, preserving enamel structure and restoring the teeth to their innate color and beauty.
What Causes White Spots On Your Teeth?
White spots are a very common source for self-consciousness when it comes to our smiles. Also known as hypocalcification, they often result in mineral loss and weaken your enamel largely. Some of the common culprits behind white spots include the following:
Demineralization
Demineralization is a process that delicately chips away at the fortress of tooth strength, gradually eroding the foundation that upholds dental well-being. Poor oral hygiene and consuming sugary and acidic foods eventually lead to demineralization. As a result, consuming these foods causes white spots to appear on your teeth.
Braces or Orthodontic Treatment
Braces or orthodontic treatment represents a transformative journey towards achieving a harmonious and confident smile. This specialized dental approach focuses on correcting misalignments and enhancing aesthetic appeal and oral functionality. However, white spots can develop around brackets and bands due to difficulty cleaning around them.
Fluorosis
Fluorosis leads to the formation of white spots on teeth through a process involving excessive exposure to fluoride during tooth development. When the teeth are still developing, typically during childhood, they are susceptible to incorporating higher levels of fluoride than necessary. This overexposure disrupts the normal mineralization process of the tooth enamel, leading to the appearance of white spots or patches.
Enamel Hypoplasia
Enamel hypoplasia is a dental condition characterized by insufficient or incomplete development of tooth enamel during the formative stages of tooth growth. Insufficient enamel formation during tooth development can result in white spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Expect During My Visit?
ICON™ white spot treatment is non-invasive and does not require any anesthetic. The procedure can be completed in one visit.
At this visit, the dentist will dry the tooth with a few applications of alcohol. Once completely dry, a low viscosity resin will be placed and allowed to soak into the porous affected area. This resin will be reapplied a few times until we are happy with the depth of infiltration and the resin will be light-cured. The tooth will be polished and that’s it. Simple and usually under 10 minutes of total treatment time.
What Should I Expect After My Visit With a Teeth Whitening Specialist?
The beauty of non-invasive white spot treatment is that you can return to normal activity and oral care immediately after your visit with our teeth whitening specialist.
What is ICON White Spot Treatment?
ICON white spot treatment is a non-invasive treatment that is used to address specific dental issues which can cause white spots in teeth such as fluorosis, demineralization, surface decay, and hypomineralization. Whatever the cause of the white spot, ICON treatment can help. It works by drying the tooth surface with alcohol, then infiltrating the dry tooth with a liquid tooth-colored resin. This helps not only strengthen the area but also helps to minimize the appearance of the white spot.
How Long Does White Spot Treatment Last?
ICON treatment is a long-lasting resin infiltration that can be considered permanent. The effects can be long lasting however, rarely, a second treatment may be indicated.
