Drilling? No Thanks! With Icon, the revolutionary treatment for early cavities and white spots on teeth...without drilling

Traditionally, if we as dentists came across a patient that had a very early stage cavity, we would either apply fluoride or a remineralizing agent and try to prevent the cavity from progressing, or we would tell the patient "lets just watch that cavity, we will evaluate it at your next checkup." At that time, if the cavity had got deeper, we would finally have no choice but to "drill and fill." The fluoride therapy is not always effective, and drilling and filling almost always sacrifices large amounts of healthy tooth structure.

Today, there is a revolutionary new dental material called Icon, introduced by DMG, a German company. Icon presents a breakthrough micro-invasive technology that allows dentists to fill and reinforce demineralized enamel of early stage cavities without drilling or anesthesia.Icon can arrest the progress of early cavities in one simple procedure, without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure.

Another common situation that dentists encounter is white spots on teeth, spots that not only look unsightly but also develop into cavities, turn ugly brown and usually need drilling to make cosmetic improvements. Icon is revolutionizing the cosmetic treatment of these carious white spots. When these white spots are infiltrated with Icon, they take on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel, all in one visit, in one simple step, with no drilling.
