Interal Bleaching

Internal bleaching procedures are done on devitalized teeth that have undergone Root Canal treatment but are discolored by blood and other fluids that leached in. While external bleaching brightens teeth from the outside in, internal bleaching brightens teeth from the inside out.

Bleaching the tooth internally involves:

  • Drilling a hole to the pulp chamber
  • Cleaning the root canal
  • Sealing the root canal
  • filling the root canal with a rubber-like substance
  • placing a peroxide gel into the pulp chamber so the gel can work directly inside the tooth on the dentin layer
