What is ICON white spot therapy?
ICON is a product used for diminishing white spots that appear in teeth. Typically white spot are isolated bright white areas that stand out on the tooth. White spots can be caused by many factors including fluorosis, trauma and even early tooth decay.
ICON is a resin based treatment that works by penetrating into the whiter areas of the teeth and infuses this region with a resin. This helps to give the tooth are more uniform appearance reducing the patches. Often this is combined with tooth whitening for best results.

These product do not contain the correct strength of whitening agent to work effectively. In the UK, only dentist’s can prescribe bleaching solutions with the stronger percentage of whitening agent.
