Minneapolis/St. Paul/New Brighton, MN

Icon is a new way Silver Lake Dental can stop the progression of an early cavity before it needs to be treated using a needle or drill. This breakthrough treatment fills and seals the tiny holes and stabilizes the tooth, offering many unique advantages:

• The treatment does not require drilling the tooth or shots of anesthesia
• Healthy tooth structure is preserved
• The treatment is completed in just one visit to Silver Lake Dental
• The treated surface of the tooth looks like healthy enamel – no more white spots!
• By treating cavities early, the life expectancy of the tooth can be prolonged

Are you a good candidate for Icon treatment?

Icon is a breakthrough treatment that can…

• Stop an early cavity before it needs to be "drilled and filled"
• Cosmetically remove white spots caused by early cavities or orthodontic treatment

However, Icon is only appropriate for treating cavities in early stages. Cavities that have progressed beyond the early stage will need to have a conventional filling or other treatment.

Ask Silver Lake Dental if you are a candidate for treatment with Icon!

How a cavity becomes a cavity…

What causes you to get a cavity? Bacteria that live in your mouth thrive on sugars and starches, producing acids as a result. These acids eat away at the enamel on your teeth, creating tiny holes or pores. This eventually weakens the structure of the tooth, often appearing as a chalky white spot on the surface of the tooth. As the process progresses, a cavity is formed that your dentist traditionally treats by drilling and filling the tooth.
