Internal Bleaching

What Is Single Tooth Internal Bleaching? 

Internal tooth bleaching is a treatment used to brighten a tooth that has become discolored due to pulpal disease, filling materials, or fluids seeping into the pulp cavity after a root canal. Unlike traditional whitening methods that work on external stains, this procedure targets discoloration from the inside out, offering a more effective solution for deeply stained teeth.

To perform internal bleaching, a small opening is made in the tooth, and a specialized bleaching paste is placed inside. This process may be repeated over multiple short appointments until the desired shade is achieved. Once the tooth reaches the preferred brightness, the opening is permanently sealed, restoring a natural, vibrant smile without the need for extensive restorative work.
