White spots on teeth are a common condition that can affect your confidence in your smile. These blemishes, caused by factors such as fluorosis, demineralization, trauma, or orthodontic treatments, do not typically fade over time or respond to home remedies. Now, thanks to Icon, there’s a modern, painless, and non-invasive solution to this aesthetic challenge.
Icon, a revolutionary infiltrative resin by the German brand DMG, is designed to eliminate white, yellow, or brown spots on teeth without drilling, turbines, or anesthesia. This treatment preserves healthy dental tissue and significantly improves appearance in just one session.
How Icon Works
Icon works based on an optical principle: porous enamel contains tiny air and water bubbles that alter how light interacts with the tooth surface, creating visible discolorations. These porous areas have a different light refraction index compared to intact enamel, which creates a contrast that makes the spots stand out. By infiltrating these porous areas, Icon fills the spaces with resin that matches the light refraction index of healthy enamel, allowing light to distribute evenly. The result? Visually, the spots disappear, restoring a smooth and natural-looking tooth shade.
