What is Resin Infiltration?

Icon White Spot Treatment is an innovative dental solution that uses advanced resin infiltration to safely and painlessly improve the appearance of white spot lesions. It is especially effective for white spots that develop after orthodontic treatment, as well as those caused by hypocalcification or fluorosis. This minimally invasive cosmetic procedure restores the natural look of teeth without drilling or anesthesia.

By penetrating and filling the demineralized areas of enamel, the resin blends the white spots with the surrounding tooth structure, creating a smoother, more uniform appearance. With just a few simple steps, ICON helps you achieve a brighter, more confident smile.

What to Expect

Estimated Appointment Length: 45 - 60 minutes depending on the severity and number of lesions. A single visit.

The process begins with gently pumicing and etching the affected areas to remove the superficial layer of remineralized enamel, allowing the resin infiltrant to penetrate more effectively. The infiltrant is then carefully applied, followed by drying and curing to restore the strength and appearance of the enamel. The entire procedure is precise and comfortable, typically taking about 45 minutes to one hour to complete.

How Long Does It Last?

It’s important to remember that the treatment is not permanent, and future touch-ups may be necessary. For most patients, results last around two years, though many have enjoyed lasting effects for five years or more without any recurrence of white spot lesions. How long the treatment lasts can vary depending on several factors, including oral hygiene and diet. Acidic foods and beverages can weaken enamel over time, so limiting fruit juices and other acidic items can help maintain your results and prevent white spots from returning.
