Treating White Spots with Icon Resin Infiltration (ICON) | BEFORE & BEYOND EP52

Treating White Spots with Icon Resin Infiltration (ICON) | BEFORE & BEYOND EP52

6 min 42 sec
In this episode of Before & Beyond, Dr Ho Ying Yao from Dental Designs, delves into the innovative treatment of white spots on teeth using Icon Resin Infiltration. Many patients experience persistent white spots due to fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development. Traditional whitening often fails to address this issue, but Icon offers a minimally invasive solution. By opening the tooth's pores and applying a clear filling material, Icon changes how light interacts with the tooth, effectively masking the white spots. He walks through the treatment process, highlighting how this method can blend affected areas with the surrounding tooth structure, offering a promising alternative for those struggling with fluorosis. Join Dr Ho Ying Yao in exploring how Icon can transform smiles where conventional methods fall short.
