More about Internal Tooth Bleaching
Internal tooth bleaching isn’t always the first method of choice to whiten teeth.
This method is used in specific cases of discolouration like that of a front tooth following Root Canal Treatment.
What makes Internal Tooth Bleaching different is that it’s generally required in severe cases of discolouration, because unlike other whitening treatments, Internal Tooth Bleaching works on the inside of the tooth as opposed to just the outer surface.
After X-rays are taken, the cosmetic dentist will then be able to assess the damage.
It’s likely that to ensure the procedure runs smoothly, Root Canal Treatment is carried out on the tooth in question.

How does the procedure work?
The cosmetic dentist drills a hole to access the tooth cavity
The whitening agent is applied inside the tooth where the hole has been drilled, and the hole is then closed with a temporary filling. The whitening agent is a strong peroxide.
The cosmetic dentist will review your case after about 3 days of applying the whitening agent and may decide to replace it with a new patch of peroxide. This procedure is repeated 2 or 3 times until desirable results are reached.
When the desired colour is reached, the cosmetic dentist will remove any whitening agent from inside the tooth and seal it with a permanent filling.
FAQ’s
How long does it take to complete Internal Tooth Bleaching?
Not long at all! The discoloured tooth will be bleached and looking great within 2 weeks. In some cases it may even be quicker than that.
Is the procedure painful?
The good news is, that Internal Tooth Bleaching is not painful and is seen as less invasive than, for example, Dental Crowns or Veneers.
