What Is Internal Bleaching?
After a root canal, it's common for a tooth to darken over time. This happens because the tooth loses its blood supply once the pulp is removed, which can cause it to lose its natural color. If the pulp was damaged before the root canal, internal bleeding or infection can also lead to staining, making the tooth appear gray, brown, or yellow. To help restore the appearance of a tooth after root canal therapy, Eastern Shore Endodontics is pleased to offer internal bleaching. While most tooth whitening treatments target the outside enamel, internal teeth bleaching lightens stains inside the tooth canals, creating a more seamless look for your smile. If you're bothered by the appearance of your tooth after a root canal treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Tres Manasco at our office in Daphne, AL to learn if you're a candidate for internal teeth whitening.
How Do You Bleach Teeth Internally?
The internal bleaching process at Eastern Shore Endodontics is simple and straightforward. After your examination, we'll numb the tooth and gums to limit any discomfort you might notice during your visit. While internal teeth whitening is generally comfortable, we can also provide nitrous oxide sedation, depending on your needs. Dr. Manasco will open a small hole in the tooth to access the inner pulp, where the discoloration has set in. After cleaning the tooth, he'll fill it with an internal bleaching material and seal it with a temporary filling. We'll leave this bleaching agent in place until the tooth has reached your desired color, at which point we'll have you come back so Dr. Manasco can remove it and strengthen the tooth with permanent filling. Internal bleaching results can last for 5 – 7 years. We'll work with you and your dentist to schedule follow-up treatments as needed to maintain the look of your smile.
What Are the Benefits of Internal Bleaching?
When discoloration affects the inner pulp chamber of your tooth, internal bleaching provides a convenient solution. This treatment can deliver a variety of benefits for your smile, including:
- Provides a minimally invasive alternative to other cosmetic treatments, like veneers
- Restores the appearance of your tooth for a more appealing smile
- Is cost-effective compared to other restorations
- Provides quick results with minimal active treatment time
- Works for internal stains that don't respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments
- Offers a safe and effective way to lighten internal stains
Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
I was very pleased with my experience at Eastern Shore Endodontics! Dr. Manasco was very courteous and professional. He has great bedside manners. He made me feel at ease during the procedure and explained the process every step of the way. His office staff was very courteous and professional as well. From scheduling my appointment to getting the procedure done, they were very helpful. Dr. Manasco even called me later that evening to check on me. His level of care and concern is very impressive. I will definitely visit him again if the need should arise.
Wonderful experience. Everyone was amazing!
Dr. Manasco and his staff are very friendly & helpful. The doctor explained everything that he needed to do in terms I could understand and my options. He was also gentle during the procedure. I’d recommend this clean, friendly and helpful Endodontics office.
the coordinated work between dr. manasco and his assistant was a beautiful thing. similar to the feeling one gets when watching an athlete at the top if his game.
