ICON

Removal of White Spots from Teeth

ICON is an innovative method for treating early cavities and removing white spots from teeth. This procedure restores the aesthetics of your teeth without drilling or other invasive methods. It is painless and does not require anesthesia. We recommend this procedure if white spots on your teeth are affecting your smile’s appearance.

White spots on teeth can occur due to fluorosis, enamel defects, or after removing braces. These spots not only impact the aesthetics of your smile but may also affect dental health. The ICON method effectively resolves these issues, providing a smooth tooth surface and an aesthetically pleasing smile without drilling or pain.

What Happens During the ICON Procedure?

The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes.

The dentist applies a gel containing hydrochloric acid to open the pores of the affected enamel.

The pores are then dried using ethanol.

ICON infiltrant is applied to the affected area, penetrating the enamel and hardening under a special light.

The white spots are removed, and the natural tone of your teeth is restored.
