ICON Resin Infiltration
Minimally invasive treatment for white spots and healthy smiles.
Kid-Focused Dentistry
Even the best oral hygiene habits can’t always prevent white spot lesions from appearing on your child’s teeth — especially after orthodontic treatment or periods of poor oral hygiene. These white spots are early signs of tooth enamel demineralization that can affect both appearance and confidence.
At Farm Park Pediatric Dentistry, we use ICON Resin Infiltration, a minimally invasive treatment that restores smooth, natural-looking enamel without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure. This gentle approach gives your child a bright, healthy smile while preserving their natural teeth.
We listen. We care. We work together to restore confidence, comfort, and lasting dental health.
What Causes White Spot Lesions?
White spots form when minerals are lost from the tooth surface, often due to plaque buildup, sugary foods, or improper cleaning around orthodontic brackets. These porous enamel areas trap bacteria and acid, which can eventually lead to tooth decay if untreated.
Common causes include:
- Orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners
- Enamel hypoplasia (underdeveloped enamel)
- Excessive fluoride exposure or mild dental fluorosis
- Inadequate brushing during the early stages of tooth decay
Because these spots affect the outer enamel surface, they can often be treated before a cavity develops — and that’s where the ICON Resin Infiltration system comes in.
What Is ICON Resin Infiltration?
ICON Resin Infiltration is a cutting-edge resin infiltration treatment that seals early enamel damage without the need for drilling, numbing, or invasive procedures. Instead of removing healthy enamel, the ICON system fills the tiny pores in the affected area with a clear, unfilled resin that restores both strength and appearance.
This innovative white spot treatment stops mineral loss, strengthens the tooth, and blends seamlessly with surrounding enamel for a smooth, even look. It’s a fast, gentle, and highly effective solution for white spot removal and early enamel defects.
How the ICON Treatment Works
The ICON Resin Infiltration process is simple and comfortable for children and teens:
- The tooth is cleaned and isolated using a rubber dam or soft barrier.
- A mild solution is applied to open the surface pores and prepare the treated area.
- The ICON resin is applied and allowed to penetrate the porous enamel.
- A special light or curing light hardens the resin, sealing and reinforcing the tooth structure.
The entire procedure typically takes one short visit with minimal discomfort, making it an excellent solution for children who may feel nervous about restorative treatment.
