White Spot Removal With ICON Treatment
Non-Invasive White Spot Treatment In Mississauga
St. Lawrence Dentistry offers a minimally invasive solution for white spots and cloudy-looking enamel using the ICON system. Dr. Hawryluk Jr. uses this infiltration-based treatment to correct white spots without drilling, even when the lesion has progressed into the deeper layers of the tooth.
What Causes White Spots On Teeth
White spots form when there’s an imbalance between the loss and rebuilding of minerals in your enamel, often from acid-producing bacteria, trauma, fluorosis, illness, or genetics. This creates tiny pores in the enamel that change how light reflects off the tooth, resulting in a chalky white or cloudy appearance. White spots are also common around orthodontic brackets.

How ICON Treatment Works
After a thorough cleaning, a conditioner opens the pores of the white spot to prepare it for treatment. A fluid resin is then infiltrated into the area for three minutes, sealing the porosities and stopping further breakdown. The resin is light-cured and polished, restoring a natural appearance without changing your tooth’s shape.
A Single-Visit, Drill-Free Solution
ICON treatment can achieve a satisfying result in just one sitting, with no impact on your tooth’s natural shape. It’s an ideal option for patients who want to avoid drilling while still addressing early enamel concerns.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
Dr. Hawryluk will assess whether your lesion is active or arrested and may recommend bleaching beforehand for the best cosmetic outcome.
Frequently asked questions
What is ICON treatment?
ICON is a drill-free treatment that uses infiltration to seal and stabilize white spots on teeth, restoring a natural appearance without removing enamel.
Are white spots a sign of a cavity?
Sometimes. White spots can be an early, visible stage of a cavity. Treating them early with ICON can help prevent further progression.
Does ICON treatment hurt?
No. ICON is a non-invasive, drill-free procedure typically completed comfortably in a single visit.
Will the treated area look different from my other teeth?
No. The resin used has the same refractive index as natural enamel, so the treated area blends in with the rest of your tooth.
How long does treatment take?
Most cases can be completed in a single appointment.
