Fade white spots without drilling
White spots that stand out against the natural color of a tooth can make adults and children self-conscious. Icon® resin infiltration at Uptown Dentistry treats them in a minimally invasive way, often in a single comfortable visit.
Where white spots come from
White spots often result from fluorosis (too much fluoride during childhood), demineralization of enamel, or trauma. They are also common after braces come off.
How Icon® works
A special resin is drawn into the weakened, porous enamel, filling and reinforcing it so the spot blends with the surrounding tooth. No drilling and usually no anesthetic are required.
Protecting early cavities
Because it strengthens demineralized enamel, Icon® can also help treat very early cavities that are not yet advanced enough to need a filling.
