What is Resin Infiltration Used For?
Resin infiltration is a conservative method used to treat white spot lesions caused by fluorosis, early decay, or post-orthodontic treatment.
What is Fluorosis?
Fluorosis occurs when the enamel (the outermost layer of teeth) is improperly formed due to excessive fluoride intake during the teeth’s formative stages. This can result in white spots, yellow discoloration, or pitting of the enamel, affecting the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.
How Long Does Resin Infiltration Take?
Resin infiltration is a one-visit treatment that typically takes between 45-60 minutes to complete.
Is Resin Infiltration Painful?
No, resin infiltration is not painful. In most cases, anesthesia is not required.
How Much Does Resin Infiltration Cost?
Resin infiltration is more affordable than fillings or veneers, and it is a more conservative approach to preserving tooth structure.
