Say Bye-Bye to White Spots on Your Pearly Whites

White spot lesions (WSLs) appear as noticeable white lines, streaks, or spots on the surface of your tooth enamel. This type of dis-colouration can be frustrating as you may have perfectly healthy, straight teeth but the appearance of them is tainted by white / brown marks.

In the past, these spots or bands were removed by removing precious tooth structure and replacing that portion with a tooth-coloured restoration / veneer. These are time consuming & costly as well. Not any more.

Icon’s revolutionary resin infiltration system has been proven to effectively mask white / brown spots without removing the tooth structure. Now, there’s a less-invasive solution to treat white spots in just one visit. Straight Road Dental Practice is one of the few clinics offering this treatment in Colchester. Call # 01206 769695 to schedule an appointment with our experts.

What Causes White Spots?

1. Arrested caries (Decay that did not progress into a cavity but ends up as a brown spot)

2. Fluorosis (caused by excessive fluoride exposure when young)

3. Enamel development defect caused by trauma or infection of primary teeth when the permanent tooth was developing.

4. After removal of braces due to poor hygiene and incipient caries

The Treatment Procedure

Step 1 : The tooth is cleaned and prepared with etching gel to create porosity at the surface layer.

Step 2 : A liquid resin known as ICON is flowed into the porous enamel (outer tooth structure).

Step 3 : The resin is set with light.

Step 4 : We polish the ICON infiltrate (resin) that fills the discoloured spots.

Entire treatment process can take 30 – 60 minutes.

Always been afraid of going to the dentist,since being a patient of Santosh and his team all my fears have gone. Santosh is so gentle ,explains everything and constantly reassures you.The hygienist is also excellent, wouldn't say I look forward to visiting but certainly much more relaxed. Highly recommend 👌

A painless extraction. I had suddenly lost a large filling in a tooth that had been troublesome for sometime. I phoned at 9:30 and spoke to a very efficient receptionist who offered me a 12:30 appointment as a new NHS patient. On arrival at the practice I was met by a very friendly dental nurse and ushered through to the treatment room where the dentist began the examination, taking great care to reassuringly explain how he intended to proceed. All options were explained to me and it was obvious the tooth needed to come out. From the application of anaesthetic to the final extraction, I can honestly say the most I felt was a slight discomfort. Afterwards the aftercare was carefully explained in detail and I was provided with written instructions. I am genuinely impressed by the friendly and professional service provided at short notice and have no hesitation in recommending the practice.

After a long absence from the dentist’s office, I finally faced the music and made an appointment with Stright Road Dental practice. They could not have been more accommodating, friendly, and professional. Zero shame from them while being uplifting and kind. Thank you for easing my anxiousness and fear. Definitely recommend
