Can You Really Whiten a Traumatized Tooth?

Years after having a root canal on one of your front teeth, you may notice that your tooth has become darker than the surrounding teeth. While this can have a negative impact on your self-esteem as you find yourself smiling less, there is great news! Our office may be able to obtain remarkable results through internal bleaching…yes, bleaching this discolored tooth from the inside out! With typical bleaching processes, a bleaching agent is applied to the external surface of the teeth. This procedure, as the name suggests, is applied to your root canal filling via an access cavity to the inside.
