Resin Infiltration

Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive dental procedure used to treat early stages of tooth decay, known as white spot lesions or incipient caries. It involves the use of a resin material to fill and stabilize areas of demineralization on the tooth surface, restoring its natural appearance and preventing further decay.

During the resin infiltration procedure, the affected tooth is first cleaned and dried, and a low-viscosity resin material is applied to the demineralized areas. The resin penetrates the porous enamel and fills the lesions, strengthening the tooth structure and improving its appearance.

Resin infiltration is a conservative treatment option that does not require drilling or removal of healthy tooth structure, making it a popular choice for patients seeking to preserve their natural teeth. It is also a quick and painless procedure that can be completed in a single visit to the dentist. If you have white spot lesions or early signs of tooth decay, ask Dr. Priyanka Khanna at Dental Care 4 U if resin infiltration is a suitable treatment option for you.
