About The Video
In this video, Dr Amanda introduces ICON resin infiltration, a non- or minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of teeth. She explains that when patients seek a more attractive smile, dentists consider size, shape, colour, and overall harmony. White spots and uneven colour are common concerns that ICON can address without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure.
Dr Amanda uses patient photos to demonstrate the treatment’s benefits, showing how ICON blends discoloured areas with surrounding enamel. She highlights that the procedure is safe, painless, and requires minimal preparation compared to veneers or crowns. ICON is particularly suitable for patients with early white spot lesions, fluorosis, or minor enamel irregularities, offering a conservative solution for smile enhancement
ICON resin infiltration is a modern approach in cosmetic dentistry aimed at improving tooth colour and masking white spot lesions. Unlike traditional treatments such as veneers or crowns, ICON does not require drilling or removal of healthy enamel. Instead, a special resin penetrates the porous enamel surface, blending discoloured areas with the natural tooth shade. This makes it an appealing option for patients looking for conservative, non-invasive treatments.
The procedure is particularly effective for treating white spots caused by early decay, fluorosis, or orthodontic treatment. It is quick, painless, and preserves natural tooth structure, making it ideal for young patients or those hesitant about more aggressive procedures. While ICON cannot correct severe discolouration or structural defects, it offers a valuable solution for minor aesthetic concerns. With proper care, the results are long-lasting, giving patients a brighter and more even smile.
