Internal Bleaching

At Agoura Dental Arts, we offer customized whitening treatments to help patients achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile. Whether you are dealing with general staining from coffee, tea, or wine, or a single dark tooth after trauma or root canal treatment, we can help determine the most effective solution.

Professional teeth whitening and internal bleaching are both designed to improve tooth color, but they are used for different reasons. Our team will evaluate the cause of discoloration and recommend the most conservative, effective treatment for your smile.

What Is Internal Bleaching?

Internal bleaching is a specialized cosmetic treatment used for a tooth that has become dark from the inside, most commonly after root canal treatment or dental trauma.

In these cases, regular whitening does not work well because the discoloration is coming from within the tooth rather than the outside surface. Internal bleaching treats the tooth from the inside to restore a more natural appearance.

How Does Internal Bleaching Work?

  1. Examining the tooth and confirming it is healthy and properly treated

  2. Creating a small access opening behind the tooth

  3. Placing a whitening material inside the tooth

  4. Sealing the area temporarily so the material can work over several days

  5. Repeating the process if needed until the desired shade is reached

  6. Permanently sealing the tooth once treatment is complete

Who is a Candidate for Internal Bleaching?

  • Internal bleaching may be recommended if:

    • A root canal treated tooth looks gray, dark, or yellow compared to neighboring teeth

    • A tooth became discolored after trauma

    • Traditional whitening has not improved the color of one tooth

    • You want a conservative cosmetic alternative to a crown or veneer

    Not every discolored tooth is a candidate, which is why a professional evaluation is important.
