Do you have white spots on your teeth? Are you drawn to them when you look at photos or see your smile in the mirror? White spots don’t usually cause dental issues, but they can affect the aesthetic of the smile, which has a knock-on effect on confidence. If you’d like to find a solution for white spots, we may have just the remedy for you.

Why have I got white spots?

There are many reasons why white spots develop on the tooth surface. Most commonly, white spots form as a result of cavities and decay. They are very common in patients who have had braces. White spots can also be a sign of fluorosis, excessive exposure to fluoride, and a symptom of molar incisal hypoplasia. This is a condition that causes the enamel to be thin.

Icon treatment for white spots

If you’ve got white spots, we recommend Icon treatment. Icon treatment uses an infiltration method to blend the white spots into the enamel covering. There’s no drilling involved, the procedure isn’t painful, and at the end of the session, you’ll have teeth that look bright, healthy and spot-free.

Icon treatment involves:

• Etching the surface of the tooth
• Drying the tooth
• Applying the Icon infiltrant
• Shining a curing light onto the tooth

The treatment works by penetrating and filling in the porous enamel surface. There’s no discomfort involved, and the session doesn’t take long.

If you’re looking for an affordable, effective, painless solution for white spots, look no further than Icon. Call us today to book a consultation.
