Improve your Smile
Improve your smile appearance with ICON Spot Whitening, a targeted treatment designed to brighten discolored or stained spots on your teeth. Unlike traditional whitening methods that treat the entire tooth surface, ICON Spot Whitening focuses on specific areas, making it ideal for removing white spots, discolorations, or minor imperfections. This minimally invasive procedure preserves your natural tooth structure while enhancing overall smile aesthetics. At West Ashley Dental Associates, we use advanced technology to ensure effective and lasting results, helping you achieve a more uniform, radiant smile with confidence.
Are You A Candidate For Icon Spot Whitening Treatment?
Ideal candidates for Icon Spot Whitening have localized stains or spots, like white spots, early decay, or mild surface stains, resistant to regular whitening. The procedure uses a strong, fast-acting gel applied precisely by a professional, offering safe, effective, and quicker results than at-home treatments. It's ideal for those wanting minimal, targeted cosmetic improvement without affecting the whole tooth. A dental consultation can confirm suitability based on tooth condition and health.
What To Expect
Your visit begins with a detailed evaluation of the affected area. Dr. Martin carefully examines the white spot or localized discoloration and determines whether ICON spot whitening is the most effective conservative solution. A precise shade assessment is completed so you can clearly understand the expected improvement and outcome.
The tooth is gently prepared, and a specialized resin-based whitening system is applied directly to the area of concern. This advanced treatment works by penetrating the enamel and helping the discoloration blend more naturally with the surrounding tooth structure—without drilling, discomfort, or removal of healthy enamel. Once the treatment is complete, the area is carefully assessed under natural lighting to ensure a smooth, even appearance.
