ICON Resin infiltration Treatment

Yes, ICON treatment is minimally invasive and less expensive than fillings/crowns/veneers!

The front and/or back teeth may appear yellow/cream/brown and discoloured. They may be sensitive or painful, sometimes crumbly. This is because the enamel is soft, they are prone to developing decay. 

The ICON resin infiltration treatment is minimally invasive and can be completed in a single visit, with no need for local anaesthetic. 

1. The process starts with cleaning the affected teeth using a special toothbrush and pumice to clean and roughen the white spots.
2. After this, we place a special rubber sheet to isolate the affected teeth.
3. Next, the teeth are dried, followed by the application of ICON resin. The resin is then massaged against the teeth for around three minutes. 
4. After that, remove the material from the tooth with some cotton wool rolls 
5. We then shine a special light on the teeth to cure the resin
6. Finally, we polish the teeth to make them smooth and sparkly 

Appointments for ICON treatment are generally booked for 30-60 minutes. However, the time depends on how many teeth are being treated. 

Yes, the results are generally instant. For stubborn white spots, additional visits may be required.
