Something we cultivate in our American culture is the pursuit of aesthetic perfection. It’s reinforced in the media, internet, television, magazines and newspapers. So it’s only natural that this pursuit would find its way into dentistry.

What we often see is patients coming in with a very minor flaw, such as a white spot on their teeth. The patient, however, sees this as a major flaw. We offer tooth whitening and ICON White Spot Removal to provide you with a fantastic new smile.

ICON, from DMG, is already well established for the treatment of decay at its earliest “white spot” stage on visible tooth surfaces without the need for injections or drilling. It restores the optical properties of the tooth structure thereby returning the tooth’s natural shade. As a result, it serves as a non-invasive cosmetic procedure for white and brown spot lesions.

ICON will minimize the appearance of white spots from fluorosis, demineralization, trauma and discoloration left after orthodontics.

This is a highly aesthetic alternative to destructive treatments of white spots. We have a customized technique that is very conservative while being effective. Usually completed in one appointment, this pain-free procedure requires no drilling and no anesthetic.

Aspects of the Procedure
• One visit
• No “shots” or numbing
• No drilling
• Plain pumice is used to clean the teeth

Benefits
• Much less invasive and less expensive than the alternatives.
• Hypo spots treated with ICON White Spot Removal will whiten similarly to the natural tooth enamel.
Research shows stability for at least 8-weeks. One way to look at it is to compare it to people who bleach their teeth. While their teeth look so much better, they do occasionally have to bleach again for maintenance. Our average ICON White Spot Removal patient has stable results for three of more years! In most cases, it provides a significant cosmetic improvement in one simple, painless visit.

Tallio and Paparone Dental always has its doors open to new patients who are ready to receive the best in dental care. We are skilled at treating patients from all dental backgrounds and make every effort to ensure your appointment is as comfortable as possible. Give us a call at (609) 886-8885.
