HOW ICON WORKS?

This is a modern, gentle treatment designed to improve the appearance of white spots on your teeth. Using a special resin, it works by filling tiny pores in the enamel, making the tooth stronger and blending the white spots for a more natural look. The process is quick and straightforward: the tooth is cleaned, prepared, and treated with the resin, which seals the spot from within. There's no drilling or filling involved, and we finish by polishing the tooth for a smooth, beautiful result.

FLUOROSIS

White spots on teeth are fairly common and can have different causes. One cause is fluorosis, which happens when too much fluoride is consumed while adult teeth are forming. Another reason is decalcification, which is when minerals are lost from the enamel, often due to poor brushing during brace treatment, especially around the brackets. In rare cases, white spots can result from molar incisal hypoplasia, which may develop after trauma during infancy.
