ICON Treatment
A minimally invasive solution to treat white spots and early signs of decay without drilling.
At Yes Dental Clinic in Setia Alam, we offer ICON treatment (Caries Infiltration Concept)—a modern, minimally invasive way to treat early signs of tooth decay and white spot lesions. Unlike traditional fillings, ICON requires no drilling, no injections, and no pain.
This innovative solution stops cavities at an early stage while improving the cosmetic appearance of teeth, making it ideal for both health and aesthetics.
Who Can Benefit from ICON Treatment?
ICON is most effective for patients with:
- Early-stage cavities → Decay limited to the enamel layer.
- White spot lesions → Often from braces, fluorosis, or demineralisation.
- Cosmetic concerns → Uneven or discoloured enamel.
- Patients wanting a non-invasive alternative to fillings.
ICON is especially popular among patients who want to avoid drilling but still improve both dental health and appearance.
How ICON Treatment Works
ICON treatment involves three simple, comfortable steps:
1. Preparation
A special gel is applied to clean and prepare the enamel surface.
This gently removes a thin layer of enamel, allowing better resin penetration.
2. Infiltration
A highly fluid resin is applied.
It flows into the microscopic pores of the enamel, sealing and strengthening the tooth.
3. Polishing
The surface is polished to restore a smooth, natural look.
The tooth appears healthier and whiter immediately.
Benefits of ICON Treatment

ICON Treatment for White Spot Lesions
White spots on teeth can result from:
- Orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces).
- Fluorosis → Excess fluoride during development.
- Enamel demineralisation from plaque or acid erosion.
ICON is highly effective at reducing these spots, restoring a smooth and natural appearance.
