What is ICON White Spot Removal?

ICON white spot removal is a treatment that uses resin infiltration to treat the chalky white spots that can appear on your teeth. Those spots are areas where the enamel is slightly porous, which can happen after braces, from fluorosis, or from enamel hypoplasia (a condition that involves not having enough tooth enamel). The porous enamel scatters light differently than the healthy enamel around it, so the spot looks white.

ICON works by filling those microscopic pores with a thin, tooth-colored resin. Once the resin is cured with a special light, the spot reflects light much like the surrounding enamel and blends in. The process does not require drilling, shots, or removing healthy tooth structure, and it is typically completed in a single visit.

At Red Oak Dentistry in Raleigh, NC, Dr. King will first examine your teeth to confirm ICON is the right fit, since results depend on how deep the spot sits in the enamel. If it is not the best option, he will walk you through alternatives.

You should limit heavily staining drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, because the resin can pick up color over time. Beyond that, keep up your daily brushing and regular cleanings, and Dr. King will go over any aftercare specific to you at your visit.

Yes, teeth whitening after ICON treatment is an option, but the resin and your natural enamel can respond differently to whitening agents. If you’re thinking about both, mention it to Dr. King so we can plan the order and timing that gives you the most even shade.
