Non-Invasive White Spot Removal Without Drilling
Icon Resin Infiltration offers a breakthrough approach to treating early-stage cavities and white spot lesions—without the need for drilling or anesthetic. This minimally invasive treatment is available exclusively at Madison Dental Loft, where it is used to preserve healthy enamel and improve esthetics in a single visit.
Icon is ideal for patients seeking a conservative alternative to traditional fillings, particularly when addressing minor enamel defects or early demineralization that hasn’t progressed into full decay.

What Are Icon Resin Treatments?
Icon is a microinvasive treatment designed to halt the progression of early cavities and remove visible white spots on the teeth. It works by infiltrating the porous enamel with a specialized resin that reinforces the tooth’s surface while also blending away discoloration.
Unlike traditional fillings or enamel reduction techniques, Icon requires no drilling and maintains the natural structure of your tooth.
When Is Icon Recommended?
This technique is often used to treat:
- Early enamel lesions caused by plaque buildup or poor mineralization
- White spots following orthodontic treatment
- Mild fluorosis or discoloration from developmental enamel defects
- Shallow interproximal cavities visible on digital X-rays
- Patients looking to avoid drilling or reduce future dental intervention
During your dental exam and cleaning, our team will assess whether you’re a candidate for Icon treatment based on the location and severity of the lesions.
How the Icon Process Works
- Preparation: The surface of the tooth is gently cleaned and prepped without any drilling.
- Etching: A special gel is applied to open the pores in the enamel.
- Infiltration: The resin is applied and allowed to seep into the porous areas.
- Curing: A light cures the resin, sealing and stabilizing the enamel.
- Polishing: The tooth is polished for a smooth, natural-looking finish.
The result is a visibly brighter tooth with improved enamel strength—and no loss of tooth structure.
