A Revolutionary Way to Treat Early Cavities
Resin infiltration, also known by the brand name ICON, is a modern, minimally invasive treatment that stops early stage cavities and erases white spots without drilling, needles, or anesthesia. A specialized resin flows into the porous enamel of the affected tooth, sealing the decay and restoring a healthy, natural appearance.
Modern Dentistry Without the Drill
Every ICON visit at Little Smiles begins with a careful examination. Dr. N looks for the earliest signs of decay and any visible white spots, and decides whether resin infiltration is truly the right fit for your child. ICON is most effective on early stage cavities that have not yet broken through the enamel, so we only recommend it when it will make a real difference.
When ICON is the right choice, the treatment itself is fast, gentle, and completely painless. There are no shots, no drills, no noise, and no recovery time. Dr. N cleans the affected tooth, applies a special etching gel that opens the pores of the enamel, infiltrates the area with a tooth colored resin, and hardens it with a curing light. The entire visit is usually complete in under an hour.
After the treatment, your child can eat, drink, brush, and play normally right away. There are no restrictions, no soreness, and no follow up procedures. The treated tooth is sealed against further decay, the white spot is visibly improved, and the natural structure of the tooth is fully preserved.
Signature Minimally Invasive Care
Resin infiltration is one of the most exciting advances in pediatric dentistry, but it is still rare to find a doctor who has truly mastered the technique. At Little Smiles of Beverly Hills, ICON is a cornerstone of Dr. N's signature minimally invasive approach to children's dentistry.
Dr. Sepehr Nassiripour, DDS has years of experience treating early stage cavities and white spot lesions with resin infiltration. He has used the technique on patients of every age, from young children with their first cavities to teens finishing orthodontic treatment with leftover white spots.
His goal is always the same: protect the natural tooth, avoid drilling whenever possible, and deliver a result that looks completely natural. ICON makes that possible in cases where, just a few years ago, drilling would have been the only option.
Little Smiles of Beverly Hills is also one of the leading practices in the area offering modern, minimally invasive pediatric dentistry. Alongside ICON, we proudly offer Silver Diamine Fluoride and Hall Technique Crowns, giving us a complete toolkit for stopping early decay without trauma.
That commitment to gentle, modern care is one of the biggest reasons families choose Little Smiles for their children, and it is the reason so many of those families now bring themselves in as patients too.

Answers Parents Ask Us Most
Common questions about resin infiltration (ICON) for kids in Beverly Hills
What is resin infiltration (ICON)?
Resin infiltration, also called ICON, is a modern minimally invasive treatment that stops early stage cavities and removes white spots without drilling, needles, or anesthesia. A specialized resin flows into the porous enamel of the affected tooth, sealing the area and restoring a natural appearance.
Does ICON treatment hurt?
No. ICON is completely painless. There are no shots, no drills, no noise, and no anesthesia required. Most children find the treatment more comfortable than a regular cleaning.
What can ICON treat?
ICON is most effective on early stage cavities that have not yet broken through the enamel, white spot lesions left behind after braces, and white spots caused by fluorosis or developmental enamel defects.
How long does the procedure take?
Most ICON treatments are completed in under an hour. Your child can eat, drink, brush, and play normally the moment they leave the office.
How long do ICON results last?
ICON is a permanent treatment. Once the resin is infiltrated and cured, it bonds with the enamel and stops decay progression in the treated area. Routine checkups help us monitor the tooth long term.
Is ICON safe for children?
Yes. ICON has been used safely in pediatric dentistry for years and is considered one of the most child friendly cavity treatments available. There is no drilling, no needles, and no removal of healthy tooth structure.
Does my child need ICON if the cavity is very small?
ICON is specifically designed for very small, early stage cavities. Treating decay this early prevents it from progressing into a larger cavity that would later require drilling and a filling or crown.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes. We proudly welcome new families to Little Smiles of Beverly Hills. Call our office at (310) 362 5310 to schedule your child's visit and we will gladly verify your insurance benefits in advance.
