Have you ever felt self-conscious about the white or brown spots/ stains on your teeth? You’re not alone. White spots on teeth can be embarrassing and even make you hesitant to smile. Thanks to ICON treatment, you can say goodbye to those unsightly blemishes and hello to a confident, radiant smile.
What causes white spots on teeth?
White spots or brown spots on teeth can be an embarrassing and unwanted cosmetic issue. They are caused by a buildup of fluoride in the enamel, which can occur during the development of teeth. This condition is quite common and is caused by multiple reasons.
Diet: What you eat is frequently linked to the state of your oral health. If you eat a lot of sugars and acidic meals, your tooth enamel will wear away, resulting in tooth spots. Acid reflux sufferers may also experience this for the same reason.
Oral hygiene routine: Plaque buildup can create tooth stains. Dentists recommend brushing and flossing teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time. This can assist in maintaining good dental health and avoid the formation of white spots. It’s especially critical to take extra precautions if you have fixed braces, such as Damon or lingual, to prevent tooth enamel loss.
Fluorosis: While fluoride can help prevent tooth decay, too much can cause dental erosion (such as a pitted tooth surface) and discoloration. This is why dentists always advise against children eating toothpaste.
Hypoplasia: White spots can occur when the affected tooth has less enamel due to a nutritional shortage. Those using particular drugs or who have a weaker immune system may be affected.
Trauma and disease: The spots could be caused by a severe illness or a childhood injury (before the adult teeth have come through).
All of these variables can develop white spots on teeth, so it’s critical to be aware of them and treat them as soon as possible.
How to get rid of white spots on teeth?
Introducing ICON treatment, the breakthrough solution for eliminating unsightly white spots or white marks on your teeth! Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of braces or want to improve your smile, ICON is the answer you’ve been looking for. This revolutionary treatment uses advanced technology to target and remove white spots, leaving your teeth looking healthy and polished.
ICON treatment is a non-invasive method of improving the appearance of teeth by eradicating white spots or giving them a mottled appearance. It eliminates marks and colors them uniformly without covering the tooth’s natural surface.
How does Icon treatment work?
The treatment involves administering an ICON gel to the tooth to open up pores and allow the resin to penetrate. After this is rinsed and dried, the ICON resin is applied; this is light-cured and blocks acid, protecting the tooth from further decay. Finally, this is removed to provide you with immediate and fantastic outcomes. It also helps white, yellow or brown spots blend in with your healthy enamel and balances out discoloration.
In general, white spot treatment is a relatively quick and painless process that can help restore the appearance of your teeth and improve your overall confidence. It is essential to consult with a dentist to determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.
Advantages of Icon white spot treatment
Icon white spot treatment has several benefits, including:
- Uniformly restores white-spotted or mottled teeth.
- Increases your confidence in your smile.
- Needs one session.
- Takes about 15 minutes per tooth.
- Minimally invasive.
- Easy and painless.
- No downtime because no drilling or filling is required.
- Reliable outcomes.
- Safe to use.
Who are the ideal candidates for Icon treatment?
If you want an easy way to address white discoloration on the surface of your teeth, Icon may be ideal for you. When removing white spots, Icon is an excellent alternative to more involved procedures like teeth veneers. Icon is handy for young children, teenagers, and adults with white spots on their teeth after braces.
Icon treatment may be a suitable option if you have surface discoloration caused by the following factors:
- Fluorosis
- Decalcification
- Trauma
While most people are ideal candidates for the treatment, it may only be suitable for some. Consult with your dentist to know if icon treatment may be the solution to your dental white spots.
What to expect during Icon treatment?
Icon is a quick, easy, and comfortable treatment. To begin, your dentist will pre-treat the discolored region. This procedure involves carefully rinsing and cleaning the afflicted teeth before applying a specific etching solution.
The dentist will then apply the Icon infiltrant resin and leave it to work for a few minutes. During this time, the substance penetrates deeply into the discolored area. After removing extra resin, your dentist will cure the product with a special light.
If necessary, the dentist may repeat the preceding steps multiple times. The dentist will polish the surface of your teeth to reveal an even-toned finish at the end of the fast treatment.
How long does the Icon treatment process take?
The treatment can generally be done in a single visit. Additional sessions may be required if the white spot penetrates deep into the tooth. Compared to other treatments for white spots on teeth, Icon white spot treatment is a highly effective solution. It targets the underlying cause of the white and brown areas, removing the fluoride buildup and preventing the white spots from returning. This can provide longer-lasting results and a more confident, stunning smile.
Is Icon treatment painful?
One of the reasons icon is such a popular treatment option is that it does not need drilling, anesthetic injections, or pain. The treatment itself is not painful, but children may feel uneasy about having to sit still or have their mouths open.
Why do previous treatments fall short?
Icon stands out as a highly effective solution to treat white spots or white lines on teeth. Unlike other treatments, which may only address the cosmetic appearance of the teeth, Icon targets and removes the underlying cause of the white spots – the buildup of fluoride in the enamel. This can provide longer-lasting results and prevent the white spots from returning.
Another potential advantage of Icon white spot treatment is its use of advanced technology. This allows for a precise and efficient treatment process with minimal discomfort for the patient. In comparison, some other treatments for white spots on teeth may be more invasive or require multiple appointments.
How Icon effectively infiltrates early caries?
Tooth decay or caries is caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, which produces acids that attack the enamel of the teeth. This can lead to cavities, or holes, in the teeth. Early tooth decay or caries can often be treated with non-invasive methods, such as fluoride treatments or special toothpaste and mouthwashes.
Previously, dentists had only two options for treating early caries: use fluoride and other treatments to re-mineralize enamel in the early stages – or “wait and see” until it was time to “drill and fill.”
Icon represents a revolutionary new approach to treating incipient caries: a caries infiltrant. This ground-breaking micro-invasive technology replenishes and reinforces demineralized enamel up to the first third of dentin without drilling or anesthesia.
It is essential to visit a dentist regularly to identify and treat tooth decay in its early stages. This can help prevent the development of more severe problems and maintain the overall health of your teeth.
Cost of Icon treatment
The cost of icon white spot treatment will vary depending on the individual needs of the patient and the specific treatment plan recommended by a dentist. The price can vary depending on multiple factors, including the severity of the white spots, the type of treatment used, and the individual dentist or practice. It is best to consult a dentist to determine the specific cost of treatment for your needs. Typically, the cost of Icon treatment to remove white spots on teeth is RM400 per tooth at Stellar Dental. Often, just one treatment is required, but in some circumstances, three or four sessions may be necessary.
