After most dental treatments, such as braces, you might notice a few white spots that don’t go away. These are usually caused by tooth decay or dental fluorosis (enamel development defect). 

Bleaching or teeth whitening alone will not give you the bright white smile you want to achieve when the white spots are deeper than the surface of your tooth. Veneers and other dental treatments can be very costly and sometimes sacrifices healthy tooth substances along the way. 

There is a reliable and pain free solution to all of this. Live & Smile Dental is happy to introduce you to ICON Smooth Surface. ICON is a new treatment that we provide to help with all those white spots and the healthy tooth structure stays preserved. 

The treatment works by starting off with Icon Etch, a 15% hydrochloric acid gel, that can be easily placed with a thin applicator, without etching the adjacent tooth. The etching process takes about 120 seconds, then the gel is thoroughly washed. We would then apply Icon Infiltrant, a highly fluid resin, that will penetrate deep into the enamel through capillary action (absorption throughout the tooth).

This sounds too simple and easy to be true, but the truth is, it is that easy! Our dentists and orthodontists at Live & Smile always strive to provide the best for our patients. We want to make sure that the options we offer are as painless as possible and of course, effective. 

If you think ICON Smooth Surface is a great option for yourself or others, please do not hesitate to ask your provider at your next visit with us.
