ICON treatment in Leicester
ICON is a minimally invasive treatment used to reduce or remove white spots on teeth — without drilling or damaging healthy enamel. It’s quick, painless, and can make a real difference to how your teeth look, especially at the front.
Why choose ICON treatment?
Sometimes it’s the little things that affect your confidence — like white marks on your front teeth. ICON gives you a way to treat them without anything invasive.
Here’s why patients choose it:
No drilling, no injections
Preserves healthy tooth structure
Quick results in a single visit
Aesthetic improvement without damage
Great for post-brace white spots or early signs of decay
Small treatment. Big difference.
What is ICON treatment?
ICON uses a specially developed resin that’s applied to the surface of your tooth. It works by filling tiny pores in the enamel, reducing the appearance of white spots and blocking the early stages of tooth decay — all without removing any tooth tissue.
It’s often used for white marks caused by demineralisation, braces, or mild fluorosis — and it blends the affected area with the rest of your natural enamel.
What kind of results can you expect?
ICON doesn’t whiten the teeth — it evens out the tone. In many cases, white spots become barely noticeable or disappear completely. The effect is subtle but meaningful, especially on front teeth where small imperfections can really stand out.
We’ll always be honest about what kind of result you can expect based on your teeth and how visible the marks are.
Gentle treatment that puts preservation first
ICON isn’t about drilling or shaping — it’s about keeping your natural teeth as they are, while improving how they look and feel. We’ll always talk you through whether it’s right for your smile and explain what to expect with care and clarity.
The ICON treatment process
1. Assessment
We check your teeth to confirm ICON is suitable and discuss your goals. Not all white spots can be treated this way — but many can.
2. treatment
The surface of the tooth is prepared, then a clear resin is applied. It penetrates the enamel and is light-cured to set in place. No drilling needed.
3. polishing & finish
Once the resin has set, we smooth and polish the area so it blends naturally with the rest of your tooth. You’ll see the difference straight away.
Questions about ICON treatment in Leicester?

How long do results last?
Results can last several years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits will help maintain the effect.
Is ICON suitable after braces?

Is there any aftercare?
You can eat and drink normally straight after. We may advise avoiding very dark foods and drinks for 24 hours to help the result settle evenly.
