Icon Resin Infiltration can treat white spots in just one painless session!
The first step in the icon resin infiltration process involves a thorough assessment by Dr. Sarno at Foothill Modern Dental. During this initial consultation, the dentist will evaluate the condition of your teeth to determine if icon resin infiltration is the most suitable treatment for your dental needs. Once confirmed, the affected tooth surfaces are cleaned and prepared using a special etching gel. This gel opens up the pores of the enamel, allowing the resin to penetrate effectively. The preparation phase is crucial as it ensures the resin can infiltrate deeply, providing optimal results.
After the preparation phase, the dentist applies the Icon resin to the affected areas. The resin is carefully brushed onto the tooth's surface, allowing it to seep into the enamel's pores. This step is meticulously performed to ensure that the resin reaches all the microscopic spaces within the enamel, effectively halting the progression of decay and masking any unsightly white spots. The resin is then cured using a special light, which hardens it and bonds it securely to the tooth. This step not only strengthens the tooth but also enhances its appearance.
The final step of the ICON process involves polishing the treated tooth to a smooth, glossy finish. Dr. Sarno ensures that the resin is evenly distributed and that the tooth's surface is polished to match the natural sheen of your other teeth. This polishing step is essential for both the aesthetic outcome and the longevity of the treatment. Once completed, patients can immediately enjoy the benefits of a healthier, more attractive smile without any downtime or discomfort. The entire procedure is quick, efficient, and virtually painless.
Icon Resin Infiltration is a non-invasive alternative to traditional drilling methods. By avoiding the need for drilling, patients experience less anxiety and discomfort during the procedure. This approach preserves the natural tooth structure, making it an ideal option for those seeking a conservative dental treatment.
One of the standout benefits of ICON is the immediate improvement in the appearance of the teeth. Patients can see a significant reduction in white spots and a more uniform tooth color right after the procedure. This instant gratification is a major advantage for those looking to enhance their smile quickly.
The materials used in icon resin infiltration not only improves the appearance of the teeth but also provides long-lasting protection against further decay. By infiltrating the enamel, the resin creates a barrier that helps prevent future cavities, offering patients peace of mind and sustained oral health benefits.
