What Is ICON Treatment?
ICON, also known as ICON resin infiltration, is a minimally invasive dental procedure designed to treat early enamel lesions, sometimes called white spot lesions. These are areas where the enamel has begun to demineralize, often appearing as chalky, opaque, or uneven spots on your teeth.
These lesions can occur due to factors like early decay, fluorosis, or as a result of orthodontic treatment.
The procedure works by infiltrating a specially formulated resin into the porous areas of the enamel. This resin fills the microscopic gaps in the tooth surface, effectively masking white spots and halting the progression of early decay. Because ICON targets only the affected areas, it preserves healthy tooth structure, making it a gentle alternative to traditional drilling or enamel removal.

When Does Your Child Need a Dentist?
Your child should see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early dental visits allow the dentist to monitor tooth development, provide preventive care, and guide parents on proper oral hygiene from the start. After the first visit, regular check-ups every six months help keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy.
You should also bring your child to the dentist if you notice signs such as tooth pain, white or brown spots on teeth, swollen gums, difficulty chewing, or after a dental injury. Early visits not only prevent dental problems from worsening but also help your child become comfortable with dental care, building positive habits that support lifelong oral health.
Your ICON Treatment Appointment
The ICON treatment procedure is typically completed in a single visit, usually lasting 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the number of affected areas.
Preparation
The dentist starts by gently cleaning the tooth surface. This ensures the resin can penetrate effectively into the enamel.
Etching the Enamel
A formulated gel is applied to open the enamel pores. The process is painless, though you may feel a mild tingling as the gel works.
ICON Resin Application
The liquid ICON resin is applied to the porous enamel. It fills the tiny gaps in the enamel and covers the white spots. A curing light is used to harden it in place.
Polishing
Finally, the treated area is polished to create a smooth, natural surface that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
