ICON RESIN INFILTRATION
WHAT'S ICON RESIN INFILTRATION?
ICON resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment option for visible white (sometimes yellow and brown) spots on the enamel of your child’s permanent dentition. This technique removes or blends the white areas to match the shade of the remaining tooth. It’s an ideal treatment option for improving the appearance of your child’s smile and boosting their self-confidence.
What Causes White Lesions on the Enamel?
These white lesions may be caused by enamel demineralization, most often associated with post-orthodontic treatment. They may also be a result of congenital disabilities of the enamel, such as molar incisal hypomineralization.
Can My Child Get ICON Resin Infiltration?
To be considered for ICON resin infiltration, your child’s teeth must be healthy and free of decay. The white spots must also be small and localized to the outer part of the enamel. Other treatment options, such as crowns or veneers, may be more appropriate if the white spot lesions are large or widespread.
What to Expect During Treatment
During an ICON resin infiltration treatment, we will first clean your child’s teeth and remove plaque or tartar buildup. Once their teeth are clean, we’ll examine the white spots to determine if they’re suitable for ICON resin infiltration treatment.
If we decide this is the best course of action, we’ll apply a specialized acid etchant, followed by unfilled resin to the white spot lesions and then harden it with a special light. Once this is complete, we’ll trim away excess material and polish the tooth to give it a natural appearance
Benefits of ICON Resin Infiltration
There are many advantages to choosing ICON resin infiltration to treat white spots on your child’s teeth, including the following:
No drilling or removal of tooth structure required
Can be completed in one visit
Does not require the use of anesthesia
Affordable option for treating cosmetic concerns
How Much Does ICON RESIN INFILTRATION Cost?
ICON Resin Infiltration is an advanced dental procedure used to treat early stages of tooth decay and white spot lesions without the need for drilling or anesthesia. The cost of this minimally invasive treatment typically ranges from $300 to $1000, depending on various factors such as the complexity of the case, the number of teeth being treated, and the specific dental clinic's pricing structure. However, most dental insurance may cover the cost. This price range reflects the high-quality materials and cutting-edge technology used in the procedure, as well as the expertise required to effectively perform it. Patients should consult with their dental care provider for a personalized quote and to understand the benefits of ICON Resin Infiltration for their specific dental needs.
