Icon Resin Infiltration for Healthy, Beautiful Teeth
.webp)
At Art of Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing advanced dental care solutions like Icon Resin Infiltration, a revolutionary treatment that addresses early dental caries and aesthetic concerns effectively without the need for drilling or significant alteration of tooth structure.
What is Icon Resin Infiltration?
Icon Resin Infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment that stops the progression of early cavities and treats white spot lesions. This procedure uses a special resin that penetrates deep into the tooth enamel to fill demineralized areas, helping to preserve the natural structure of the teeth.
Benefits of Icon Resin Infiltration
Stops Early Decay: By sealing demineralized areas, Icon treatment helps to prevent further decay and extends the lifespan of the tooth. Discover more about preventive measures on our [Pediatric Dentistry](/services/pediatric-dentistry) page.
Aesthetically Pleasing: This treatment significantly reduces the visibility of white spots and discolorations, enhancing the natural beauty of your child’s smile.
No Drilling Required: Ideal for children, this needle-free and drill-free procedure reduces anxiety and discomfort associated with traditional dental tools.
How Does the Icon Resin Infiltration Procedure Work?
The procedure is efficient and generally completed in one visit:
1. Preparation: The affected tooth is thoroughly cleaned.
2. Etching: A gel is applied to open up pores in the enamel, preparing it for treatment.
3. Rinsing and Drying: After rinsing off the etching gel, the tooth is dried.
4. Infiltration: Icon resin is applied, which penetrates and fills the enamel pores.
5. Light Curing: A curing light hardens the resin.
6. Polishing: The tooth is polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Icon Resin Infiltration Risks and Considerations
While generally safe, it's important for parents to consider potential temporary tooth sensitivity and aesthetic changes. For more details on managing dental health, visit our [Patient Info](/patient-info) page.
