When you smile, do you see different colors or shades of white on your front teeth? Perhaps you have a few lighter white areas that stand out from the others?
The existence of white spots on your teeth does not mean that particular portions of your smile are naturally brighter. White spots are caused by factors such as early stages of tooth decay (cavities) or maybe too much fluoride during tooth development. Although these two elements are unconnected, they both affect the functional nature of your tooth enamel and, as a result, how it appears on the outside.
White spots on teeth, unfortunately, cannot always be eradicated with a whitening procedure. In fact, dental whitening might make these lesions more visible.
To better manage the fragile, porous, or decalcified portions of tooth surfaces that generate white spots, the ICON system uses a "resin infiltration" method.
In a word, ICON targets the "micropores" right beneath your enamel's surface. Because the ICON Material is transparent in nature, you will get a natural-looking hue even if you later decide to whiten your teeth later on.
When ICON is infused into the weaker parts of your enamel, it not only removes the white discoloration, but it also strengthens the tooth, making it more resistant to sensitivity and decay.
An ICON DMG white spot treatment only takes a few minutes per area. It takes roughly three minutes to complete the infiltration technique. Our Aldie dentist cures the material into place once it has been fully absorbed by your tooth enamel with a tiny, focused light. As a result, the composite infiltration materials become a permanent part of the tooth architecture at that location.
When our Aldie dentists perform a white spot treatment on, say, two front teeth, the complete procedure should take no more than 20 minutes.
