What is ICON white spot treatment?

  • Improves White Spot appearance by  35 to 85%
  • More aesthetic appearance
  • Stops erosion without harming your teeth.

 

Dr. Weller and Dr. Sultan can help you decide if this is a treatment you might want to help enhance your smile. ICON white spot treatment is ideal for those who show signs of white spot lesions.  It is the least expensive treatment to try to improve the white spot appearance in dentistry today. 

 

How does ICON white spot treatment work?

 

ICON white spot treatments are done in the office without invasive procedures such as drilling. This is a virtually pain-free treatment designed to give you an even and beautiful smile. The first step of this treatment is cleaning and polishing your teeth. The white spot lesions on your teeth will then be gently removed by etching the outer layer of plaque. This is to create an even and smooth surface on your enamel. Finally, a drying agent and resin infiltrate will be applied and cured with a light. This can be repeated as needed to get the most white and even smile possible. Dr. Weller can work to make your smile one you can show off.

 

What should I know about ICON white spot treatment?

 

ICON white spot treatment can last for years. However, you may need maintenance treatments to extend this time. We usually will discuss Teeth Whitening before hand for best results.  After your treatment, your teeth might feel sensitive to hot and cold items ; however, this should subside within a few days. To keep your results looking great, it is important to make sure that you follow all instructions given by Dr. Weller. You should also attend routine dental exams with Dr. Weller so that he can continue monitoring your results. Touch-ups can be done a few times a year to keep your teeth looking optimal. You may need to avoid certain foods and beverages following this procedure, but Dr. Weller will give you these instructions and any others you might need.
