ICON SPOT WHITENING

Teeth with white patches or a mottled appearance are common. This can occur for a variety of reasons, and until relatively recently, it could not be treated with a minimally invasive technique; the only available options were treatments that covered the natural tooth, such as veneers or composite bonding. ICON is a treatment that has made it possible to eliminate the appearance of white spots and stains on teeth without removing dental material or covering up the tooth's natural surface, resulting in a uniform tooth colour.

WHAT MAY CAUSE WHITE SPOTS ON TOOTH ENAMELS?

Dental fluorosis: a condition brought on by excessive fluoride consumption during the formation of adult teeth

Another condition that occurs during the development of adult teeth is enamel hypoplasia, in which tooth enamel does not form correctly.

Decalcification is the mineral loss of tooth enamel. When brackets are bonded to the surface of the teeth during treatment with fixed orthodontics, this can occur. This is typically the result of poor dental hygiene on the part of the patient. Poor oral hygiene: failure to follow a regular, comprehensive oral care regimen

Diet: for instance, consuming a disproportionate amount of sugary foods and beverages

Certain medical conditions and drugs, such as coeliac disease and tetracycline, are examples.

HOW DOES ICON SPOT WHITENING WORK?

It is a common misconception that conventional teeth whitening will even out the colour of white spots or conceal them with a brighter shade. This is not the situation. ICON is distinct in that it only targets the white patches themselves.

White patches are caused by acids removing minerals from tooth enamel, leaving behind a porous structure that traps air. The translucent hue is a result of the entrapped air. ICON acts to infiltrate and fill these areas of trapped air to restore your enamel's appearance.

WHAT TO ANTICIPATE WITH ICON TREATMENT

ICON employs the following processes:

ICON-Etch gel is applied to the white spot's surface to eliminate the top layer and prepare the tooth.

The affected region is cleansed using ICON-Dry

The ICON-Infiltrant agent is administered. This penetrates deeply into the enamel, filling the voids with oxygen. The treated area has been lightened and its natural hue has been restored.

The procedure is straightforward, painless, and effective at restoring tooth colour. ICON will not have an overall whitening effect on your teeth; it is designed to restore coloration uniformity only. See Zoom and Enlighten for an overall bleaching effect.
