Brighten your smile with internal bleaching, which treats deeply stained or discolored teeth, particularly those with intrinsic stains caused by trauma, medication, or aging. This advanced treatment lightens the tooth from the inside out, restoring its natural brightness without affecting the surrounding teeth, providing a more uniform and attractive smile.
Lighten Intrinsic Stains and Discoloration
Internal bleaching is a cosmetic dental treatment used to lighten deeply discolored or stained teeth, especially those with intrinsic stains that cannot be removed with regular teeth whitening methods. This procedure is typically performed on teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, where the tooth’s inner chamber is accessed to apply a bleaching agent. The treatment works by breaking down stains within the tooth structure, restoring its natural color. It’s a safe, effective way to improve the appearance of a single discolored tooth without affecting surrounding teeth.
Internal Bleaching Helps With:
- Deeply stained or discolored teeth, especially those with intrinsic stains
- Teeth affected by trauma or injury, causing discoloration
- Discoloration resulting from root canal treatments
- Teeth stained due to medication use (e.g., tetracycline stains)
- Aging-related yellowing or darkening of teeth
- Stubborn stains that don’t respond to regular whitening treatments
What is the Internal Bleaching Process?
The internal bleaching process begins with Dr. Matian carefully examining your tooth and confirming its suitability for treatment. He then accesses the tooth’s inner chamber through a small opening. A specialized bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth, where it breaks down stains and lightens the color. Dr. Matian monitors the results and may repeat the process if necessary. The procedure is gentle, and the results are often visible within a few days.
Benefits of Internal Bleaching:
- Targets deep, intrinsic stains that surface whitening can’t reach
- Restores the natural brightness of a discolored tooth
- Non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require altering the tooth structure
- Provides a long-lasting solution for tooth discoloration
- Quick procedure with minimal discomfort
How Long Does Internal Bleaching Last?
The results of internal bleaching can last for several years, though they may vary depending on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and the cause of the tooth discoloration. Dr. Matian will provide guidance on maintaining the results, including regular dental checkups and proper care at home. In some cases, touch-up treatments may be needed to keep the tooth bright.
Can Internal Bleaching Be Done on Any Tooth?
Internal bleaching is commonly performed on teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and are discolored from within. It is especially effective on teeth with intrinsic stains. However, not all discolored teeth are suitable for internal bleaching. Dr. Matian will assess your tooth to determine if internal bleaching is the right option.
