Icon infiltration is a minimally invasive dental treatment designed to address dental fluorosis and other surface-level tooth discolorations or defects. Fluorosis is a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake during childhood, leading to white or brown spots on the teeth.
Icon infiltration works by penetrating and treating these defects to blend them seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure.
The treatment effectively masks white spots or discoloration, seamlessly blending them with your natural tooth color to restore a uniform, attractive smile.
Icon infiltration is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that preserves healthy tooth structure by avoiding the need for drilling, making it a highly conservative treatment option.
The procedure is relatively quick, typically completed in a single visit, and provides immediate cosmetic improvements.
The resin used in Icon infiltration is durable and stain-resistant, providing long-lasting results with proper oral care.
Unlike other treatments that may require removing healthy tooth material, Icon infiltration preserves the integrity of the tooth while enhancing its appearance.
We use Icon infiltration for fluorosis treatment, which is generally a painless procedure. Local anesthesia is not required, as the treatment involves minimal discomfort. You may experience slight sensitivity during the process, but this is usually temporary.
The Icon infiltration procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of teeth being treated and the extent of the fluorosis.
After the treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid consuming foods and drinks that may stain your teeth, such as coffee or red wine, to ensure the longevity of the results.
Coverage for Icon infiltration may vary depending on your dental insurance plan. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options and out-of-pocket expenses.
Once treated with Icon infiltration, fluorosis spots should be effectively masked and improved. However, it is important to maintain good oral care to prevent new issues from arising.
