Since opening my practice, I have performed a great many stain and white spot removal procedures using Icon.

I think it is important to understand the characteristics of the material and use it appropriately.

Resin infiltration therapy

does not use a dental drill at all

It is a treatment in which resin is infiltrated into the tiny gaps in the tooth,

so it also takes time.

At first glance, you may think it is simple,

but even slight differences in fine manipulation can

affect the treatment outcome,

so it is a procedure that requires the hands of an experienced dentist.

Usually, treatment using resin infiltration

for 'white spots,' meaning

white spots on the teeth,

is something many dentists will have heard of,

but

you may not have known whether brown spots like this could also be treated.

If it is not a cavity,

but a brown spot that appeared congenitally,

it can be addressed without removing tooth structure

through Icon resin infiltration.

It almost seems unbelievable, doesn’t it?

It can become this clean.

Without removing any tooth structure

It is the development of minimally invasive dentistry

I arranged the photos so they are visible at a glance.

Of course, such amazing results

cannot be achieved exactly the same way by everyone.

The condition of each tooth differs from person to person,

so in some cases a certain amount of the spot remains.

In those cases, I lightly scratch only that area

and restore it seamlessly with resin of the same color.

Usually, even if a little remains,

it is not noticeable when looking in the mirror,

and since it is only visible when I take ultra-high-definition photos like this,

most patients are satisfied and go home.

Application of medication

After washing and drying, dehydration

Resin infiltration

As I do it more often,

I build up some know-how.

Once I get a sense of how it should be used,

it actually takes a bit longer ㅎㅎ;;

I cannot do it roughly,

and I think that is because I try to be thorough.

I will always do my best.
