ICON White Spot Treatment in Tupelo, MS

For many people, having stained or discolored teeth can be a big worry. A bright, natural-looking set of pearly whites can elevate your smile, boosting your self-confidence. Tupelo Smiles, led by Dr. Richard Caron and Dr. John Kenney, can help you obtain a gorgeous smile with the help of ICON white spot treatment. ICON is a simple way to reduce white spot lesions, which are de-calcified areas of discoloration that occur where a section of the tooth appears milky and whiter than the rest. They may be caused by bacteria buildup, thin enamel, and/or lacking dental hygiene while wearing braces. ICON white spot treatment uses resin infiltration to fill in de-calcified areas on the teeth that produce white spots. You can receive a more even, brighter smile with ICON white spot treatment through Tupelo Smiles. To learn more, contact our Tupelo, MS office today.

To kick off this treatment, one of our dental specialists will give your teeth a thorough cleaning and rinse. Next, we'll apply a specialized solution to your teeth, which we'll also rinse away. Finally, we'll layer on the ICON resin. This fluid-like material will rest on your teeth for a short period, allowing it to penetrate the enamel. A Tupelo Smiles team member will shine a light on the ICON to cure and harden it. Your practitioner will also polish the teeth using a small handheld device. We may repeat these steps to get the desired outcome. This procedure takes approximately an hour, and results can last two years or longer. After your treatment, you can resume your normal routine.

What causes white spots on teeth?
Braces are the main cause of white spots that appear on the teeth. These spots can make you or your child self-conscious about their smile, especially since they already spent so much time and effort on braces. The dentists at Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry can pinpoint the exact cause of these spots and reduce their appearance so they can feel confident about their pearly whites again.

What about over-the-counter teeth whitening products?
Although they can be a quick and convenient way to whiten teeth, home-use products won't produce the desired white spots results. In fact, they could actually make the problem worse. Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry has personalized solutions for white spots so you can have that smile you have always wanted.

Can other problems cause white spots or tooth discoloration?
Yes! Excess fluoride use, certain medical conditions, and even some medications can cause tooth discoloration. Some causes of discoloration are more serious, so you should schedule an appointment with a dentist if you suspect anything is wrong. Our dental team has experience treating a wide range of issues, and we can ensure your teeth stay healthy for life.
