Dental ICON treatment in Shepshed
ICON is a no-drill treatment that removes white spots and patches on the teeth, often caused by early decay, fluorosis or after braces. It blends these areas into the surrounding tooth – improving your smile in just one appointment.
When ICON treatment could help
If you have noticed patchy white spots on your teeth – especially on the front ones – ICON may be a great option. It is ideal if you are looking for a cosmetic improvement without anything invasive.
White spots after braces

Let us brighten those teeth without making it a big deal
White spots might seem small, but they can make people feel self-conscious – especially when they are right at the front. ICON gives us a way to treat those areas simply and gently, without turning it into a big procedure. It is a perfect example of modern, minimally invasive dentistry.
If you have been staring at those patches in photos or feeling like your teeth look uneven, ICON could be the solution you did not know existed.
A clearer smile, in 4 simple steps:
We will examine your teeth and check that ICON is the right treatment for your white spots.
The affected area is gently prepared to allow the resin to soak in properly.
The resin is placed and cured – blending the spot into the surrounding enamel.
Treatment is usually completed in one visit, with no need for follow-up.
Dental ICON procedure
You might be wondering...
Does ICON treatment hurt?
Not at all. There is no drilling, no injections, and no pain. It is completely non-invasive and very gentle.
How long does ICON treatment take?
Most cases can be completed in one visit, which takes around 45–60 minutes depending on how many teeth are being treated.
Will the white spots come back?
In most cases, no. Once treated, the area is sealed. However, maintaining good brushing and avoiding excessive acid exposure will help keep the result long-lasting.
Is ICON suitable for all white spots?
It depends on the depth and cause. We will assess the area to see if ICON will be effective – it works best on early-stage spots in the outer enamel.
What’s the difference between ICON and bonding or veneers?
ICON keeps the natural tooth completely intact. Bonding and veneers require some shaping or covering of the tooth – ICON does not.
Is ICON only for teenagers or can adults have it too?
It is suitable for anyone with the right type of enamel spots – teenagers after braces or adults who have noticed changes over time.
