Internal Bleaching

Occasionally, teeth may discolor or darken requiring Internal Bleaching.  After endodontic treatment has been completed, your endodontist can place an oxidizing agent to remove tooth discoloration.  This procedure called “Walking Bleach” lightens your tooth over a period of several days.  After completed, a permanent white filling will be placed inside the tooth.
