This before-and-after case highlights how ICON resin infiltration can improve the appearance of white spot lesions in a conservative, enamel-friendly way. For this patient in her 30s, we evaluated the cause and depth of the spots and then used ICON to infiltrate the porous enamel and reduce the contrast that makes white spots stand out—helping the teeth look more even and natural without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure. Results vary depending on the type and severity of the lesions, which is why a personalized assessment is essential. Treatment was completed at Suite 905 Dental in Midtown Manhattan (10022), NYC.
ICON Resin Infiltration: White Spot Removal | Case 108358
Procedure Details
ICON resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment used to improve the look of certain white spot lesions by blending them into the surrounding enamel—often without drilling or numbing. After isolating the teeth, a gentle conditioning gel is applied to open the enamel’s surface, then a clear, low-viscosity resin is placed to infiltrate the porous area and is light-cured. By filling those microscopic spaces, ICON changes how light reflects off the enamel, so the white spots appear softer and more uniform. Results depend on the cause and depth of the lesion, so an exam is needed to confirm candidacy.
