Internal tooth bleaching is the process of bleaching or whitening from inside out of the tooth. Unlike tooth whitening, where the bleaching agents are applied on the outside of the tooth, internal bleaching is done from inside out.
In cases of caries or trauma, the discoloration begins from inside of the tooth and spreads outward. These stains can be eliminated by internal bleaching or by giving crown or veneers in order to mask the discoloration. The combination of internal bleaching and restorative therapy is used oftentimes.
Regular teeth whitening remedies or services won’t work as the problem lies literally inside of the tooth. Root canal treatment will be scheduled, if needed. We need to perform root canal treatment to remove the dead pulp tissue and all the bacteria accumulated in the area. Once the root canal treatment is finished we can add the bleaching agent inside the tooth to get it back to its normal color. Then the access is closed with the filling and root canal treatment and tooth bleaching is completed.
How long does internal tooth bleaching last?
You may need to visit for another round for tooth bleaching if the discoloration is severe and it has been quite some time. Your tooth may get discolored in the future again as it is not a definitive procedure like teeth whitening. But this process helps to improves aesthetics for a long time. The internal tooth bleaching can last 5-7 years for Pune people. The cost of internal tooth bleaching in Pune including root canal treatment ranges from 7000/- to 9000/-
