What is Non-invasive ICON?
Non-invasive ICON is a modern dental technique that addresses white spots on the tooth surface without the need to drill or invade the natural tooth tissue. This method uses a special material that penetrates the enamel, helping to cover discolored areas and gently even out tooth color while maximizing preservation of the natural tooth structure.

- White spots caused by enamel demineralization, mild fluorosis, or post-orthodontic treatment
