What does the treatment involve?

Initially, we assess your teeth to make sure you are suitable for microabrasion treatment. We discuss the treatment with you and give you the opportunity to ask us any questions you have.

We thoroughly clean your teeth and apply a protective barrier to protect your gums during treatment.

Using a special microabrasion tool, we gently remove the discoloured enamel from your teeth. We follow this by applying an acid abrasion wash to ensure all surface stains are removed effectively.

To finish, we rinse your teeth and give them a professional polish so they look beautifully smooth and shiny. We also give you some aftercare advice so you can keep your teeth clean and white.

What are the causes of tooth discolouration?

Even with a good oral hygiene routine at home, your teeth can become stained and discoloured over time. We can help reduce these stains with dental microabrasion, giving you the brighter smile you deserve.

A few reasons for teeth staining include:

  • High caffeine beverages (coffee, tea, soda etc.)
  • Tobacco products
  • Genetic predisposition to discoloured teeth
  • Prescribed medication (like Tetracycline)
  • High fevers or illness during childhood

ICON white spot treatment

Our cutting-edge ICON white spot treatment can help to remove those small white deposits on your teeth, restoring that natural radiant smile. ICON white spot treatment is a revolutionary, non-invasive method designed to address white spot lesions on teeth. Unlike traditional methods that involve drilling and filling healthy tooth material, ICON is a pain-free solution that preserves your natural tooth structure.

ICON treatment is an excellent solution for addressing white spots on teeth, often caused by conditions like enamel hypoplasia or demineralisation post-orthodontic treatment. This minimally invasive procedure involves infiltrating a resin into the porous enamel, effectively masking the spots and preventing further decay.

For optimal results, we often combine ICON treatment with professional teeth whitening. This approach can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your smile, especially for those with more pronounced white spots or general tooth discolouration.
