ICON Dental Treatment in Chișinău

ICON dental treatment is a way to stop or slow early caries without drilling and without fillings. It is resin infiltration: a special low-viscosity (very fluid) resin seeps into the weakened enamel and strengthens it from the inside.

The method suits the early stage, when light spots appear on the tooth but there is no pain and no cavity yet.

What is ICON dental treatment

ICON dental treatment is a method of treating early caries without damaging the tooth.
A special low-viscosity resin is applied to the surface of the tooth. It penetrates the weakened area of the enamel and strengthens it from the inside.

This treatment works only at an early stage, when:
• the enamel is already weakened
• but no cavity has formed yet
• the surface of the tooth is still intact

If caries has already formed a cavity, ICON is not used. In that case a filling is needed.

When ICON dental treatment suits you

1
a light or matt spot has appeared on the tooth and does not go away after cleaning
3
the tooth does not hurt and does not react sharply to cold or hot
2
the surface of the tooth looks intact, with no cavity
4
the spot is most often near the gum or between the teeth
5
the enamel looks dry or chalky
This is the typical picture of the earliest caries, which can still be stopped without drilling.

When other treatment is needed

ICON does not suit you if:

  • the tooth already has a cavity: caries treatment with a filling is needed
  • the tooth hurts or reacts to cold and hot: the damage is deeper
  • the spot is dark or growing fast: the caries is active
  • the enamel is broken down or chipped

In these cases the doctor will suggest standard caries treatment and restoring the tooth with a filling.

Result of ICON caries infiltration

1
The caries usually stops developing.
2
The tooth stays whole, with no drilling and no fillings.
3
The enamel in the weakened area becomes denser.
4
The risk of further damage goes down.
5
The light spot becomes less noticeable.
The method lets you keep the natural tissue of the tooth and stops the process before it reaches the stage of a filling.

The method is used on individual teeth with the first signs of caries. The doctor decides how many teeth are treated, and whether the procedure makes sense, at the examination.

Stages of ICON caries infiltration

1
Examining the tooth

The doctor assesses the condition of the enamel and decides whether ICON suits your case.

2
Preparing the surface

The tooth is gently cleaned, without drilling and without pain, to prepare the enamel for the procedure.

3
Applying the ICON material

The resin soaks into the weakened area of the enamel and fills it.

4
Fixing the result

The material is set, and the tooth is ready for normal chewing and eating.

How long the procedure takes

The procedure takes 20-30 minutes on average and is done in one visit.

You can eat straight after treatment and go back to your usual routine.

ICON dental treatment FAQ

Does ICON hurt?

No. The procedure is done without drilling and without pain, and no anaesthesia is needed.

Can I have ICON if the tooth already hurts?

No. Pain means the caries is deeper, and ICON is no longer effective.

Will the light spot disappear completely?

In many cases the spot becomes much less noticeable. The result depends on how deep the enamel damage is.

How long does the effect last?

With normal hygiene the effect usually lasts for a long time, and the caries in that place most often does not progress.

Does ICON need special care?

No. Ordinary hygiene and regular check-ups at the dentist are enough.

Can ICON be done on several teeth at once?

Yes, if several teeth show the first signs of caries. Each tooth is assessed separately.
