Icon resin infiltration is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat white spot lesions caused by enamel demineralisation, fluorosis or early decay.
The process involves infiltrating the affected area with a specialised resin that seamlessly blends the affected area with the natural tooth colour. The result is that white spots are masked without the need to remove enamel or drill into the tooth structure.
Benefits Include:
- Minimally invasive. There’s no need to shave off healthy tooth structure as you would need for veneers
- Aesthetically pleasing. Effectively masks white spot lesions
- Cost effective: Often more economical than veneers or fillings
- Immediate Results. Can often be performed in one visit with immediate results
- No need for anaesthesia. The procedure is generally painless.
Tailored to you
In your initial consultation, your dentist will assess your individual situation and discuss your suitability for icon resin infiltration. Depending on your individual circumstances and the severity of the white spot lesions, additional non-invasive options may be required to satisfactorily mask the lesions.
Your dentist will always discuss alternative treatment options to ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision and ultimately choose the right treatment option for you.
