My injured tooth is discolored. What can be done?
Sometimes a tooth that requires root canal treatment is discolored from the infection or trauma on the tooth. Because the discoloration is on the inside of the tooth instead of on the outer enamel structure, traditional whitening treatments maywill not be effective.
At New York Endodontics Studio, Dr. Jamie Y. Lee, may be able to restore the color of your tooth with internal bleaching during the root canal therapy process. In contrast to traditional tooth whitening, where whitening agents are applied to the outside of the tooth, internal bleaching is completed from the inside out.
Benefits of internal bleaching:
- It is a safe treatment that provides predictable whitening results, even on a dark tooth.
- The procedure can be completed during the root canal procedure.
- Unlike implants, veneers and crowns, internal tooth whitening conserves the tooth structure.
