Icon Treatment
ICON treatment, or "Icon" (Infiltrant for Caries), is a minimally invasive dental procedure designed to treat early stages of tooth decay (incipient caries) that haven't yet progressed to the point of requiring a filling.

Key Features:
- Minimally Invasive: ICON aims to preserve as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible. Unlike traditional methods that may involve drilling, ICON does not remove tooth material.
- Resin Infiltration: The treatment uses a special resin that infiltrates the decayed area, effectively sealing it and preventing further decay.
- Quick Procedure: The treatment is typically completed in one visit and is relatively quick, often taking less than an hour.
- Aesthetic Benefits: ICON can be used on both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth, making it a good option for preserving the natural appearance of teeth.
- Long-lasting Results: The resin is durable and can provide long-lasting protection against further decay.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: Helps maintain natural tooth integrity.
- No Need for Anesthesia: The procedure is usually comfortable and does not require numbing.
- Prevention of Further Decay: Seals the area to prevent progression of decay.
