Icon Resin Infiltration for White Spot Lesions in Carlsbad, CA

Parents Ask

Can white spots on my child’s teeth be fixed without drilling?

Often, yes. Icon resin infiltration fills the white spot with a special resin and hardens it with a light, with no drilling or anesthesia. It doesn’t remove enamel, and with proper care the results can last for years. Call Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in Carlsbad at (760) 438-1279 to see if it’s right for your child.

Say Goodbye to White Spots!

Is your child self-conscious about white spots on their teeth? Icon resin infiltration is a quick, painless solution! Call today to schedule a consultation.

What are White Spot Lesions?

White spot lesions are early signs of tooth decay that appear as white or chalky spots on the enamel. They are often caused by:

  • Poor oral hygiene: Plaque buildup can lead to demineralization, weakening the enamel.
  • Orthodontic treatment: Braces can make it difficult to clean teeth properly, increasing the risk of WSLs.
  • Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development can cause white spots.

How Does Icon Resin Infiltration Work?

Icon resin infiltration is a painless, drill-free treatment that can effectively mask white spot lesions. The process involves:

  1. Preparation: The tooth surface is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Infiltration: A special resin is applied to the white spot, penetrating the porous enamel.
  3. Hardening: The resin is hardened with a special light, creating a smooth, even surface.

Dr. Fazeli and her entire staff are compassionate, attentive, and excellent at their job. I have a ton of kids and they are always very accommodating about fitting us into their schedule when we have a dental concern. Dr. Fazeli has been incredibly patient and kind with a few of my younger kids who are challenging patients and always makes me feel at ease with everything she is doing. I would 10/10 recommend anyone take their kids to this practice. As a parent I am incredibly impressed with their professionalism and warm hearts, and my kids love going for the surprise and stickers. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, I just wish she did adult teeth, too!!

I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist. They go above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Fazeli is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything clearly. My kids actually look forward to their appointments, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dental office we can trust. Highly recommend to any parent looking for excellent dental care for their children.

We live in kauai and I needed a pediatric expert to view an xray for a second opinion (I was willing to fly for treatment if needed and was feeling very concerned about the treatment plan). After 7 calls, no other dentists would even look at the image. Discovery dental was so kind in offering her expert advice on the x-ray. She even looked at the other x-rays and mentioned a cavity to look out for. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, time provided, and guidance. The office comes well recommended by others and they would certainly be my go-to if i was based in Encinitas. I plan to go there on our trips back and forth.
