Internal Tooth Whitening

How is internal tooth whitening carried out?

During your assessment visit, our specialist endodontist will check the discoloured tooth and make sure it is suitable for internal whitening.

Using the dental microscope, we remove some filling and root filling material via the back of the tooth to create an access area for the whitening gel. The tooth will still look normal from the front. We then either place whitening gel directly over the root canal space (internal tooth whitening) or create a special whitening tray that has access to the inside of the tooth (inside/outside whitening).

After a week of internal or inside/outside whitening, we then reassess the tooth. Once the desired results are achieved, the access cavity is sealed using a bleach shade white composite filling.
