About Icon resin infiltration

White spots appear when the outer layer of enamel loses minerals, for example around brackets after braces, from mild fluorosis or from early enamel weakness. Light reflects differently from these porous areas, so they look white or chalky.

With Icon resin infiltration, the dentist gently prepares the surface, then lets a special low-viscosity resin soak into the porous enamel and sets it with a curing light. Because the resin fills the pores, the spot can blend in with the surrounding tooth. In most cases no drilling or injection is needed, and the healthy tooth structure is kept.

Results vary. Deeper or darker brown stains may need more than one cycle or another treatment, such as whitening, a tooth-coloured filling or veneers. Your dentist will tell you what to expect for your teeth.

Who it can help

  • White spots left on teeth after braces
  • Mild to moderate fluorosis (white or mottled patches)
  • Early, non-cavitated white spot lesions
  • Some mild enamel development defects
  • Patients who want to avoid drilling or veneers for small marks

What to expect

  1. Assessment

    Your dentist checks the spots, their depth and cause, and whether Icon is likely to help.

  2. Preparation

    The teeth are cleaned and protected, and a gentle gel opens the surface of the white spot.

  3. Infiltration

    The tooth is dried and the resin is applied so it soaks into the enamel, then set with a curing light.

  4. Polishing

    The surface is polished smooth. Many cases are done in one visit.

  5. Review

    Your dentist checks the result and advises whether another cycle would help.
