ICON Infiltration in Dubai – White Spot Removal Without Drilling
ICON® resin infiltration is a modern, micro-invasive treatment used to manage white spot lesions and early enamel decay without drilling or injections. It works by sealing porous enamel from within, helping stabilise early lesions and improve the appearance of affected teeth.
At New Ivory Dental & Implant Clinic, ICON® infiltration is delivered using a microscope-assisted approach in selected cases, allowing enhanced precision, control, and finishing—particularly in high-aesthetic areas.
What Is ICON® Resin Infiltration?
ICON® infiltration is designed for early enamel lesions where the tooth surface remains intact. A specialised resin is infiltrated into the porous enamel, reinforcing weakened tooth structure and reducing the visibility of white spots without removing healthy enamel.
When performed using microscope-assisted dentistry, the procedure allows greater visual accuracy during lesion management, resin infiltration, and polishing.
Conditions ICON® Can Treat
- ICON infiltration may be suitable for:
- White spot lesions after orthodontic treatment
- Early enamel demineralisation
- Initial (non-cavitated) tooth decay
- Mild fluorosis and chalky enamel patches
- Suitability is determined through a clinical examination.
ICON vs Traditional Fillings
Unlike traditional fillings, ICON® infiltration does not involve drilling or removal of healthy tooth tissue. It is a conservative alternative for early lesions, focused on preservation rather than replacement.
At New Ivory, a microscope-assisted ICON protocol may be used in appropriate cases to enhance precision and support optimal aesthetic outcomes.
Before & After: ICON* Infiltration
How ICON® Infiltration Works
ICON® infiltration is typically completed in a single visit. The affected enamel is gently prepared, followed by controlled resin infiltration into the lesion. The resin is then cured and polished.
Using a microscope-assisted technique allows careful control during each step, particularly in visible areas where accuracy and detail are essential.
