An infection of the dental pulp can give the tooth a darkened, discolored appearance on the outside. Regular whitening procedures cannot treat this kind of discoloration, which is why we offer internal bleaching, a method of whitening a tooth from the inside out. After a root canal is performed to remove the infected pulp, a safe sodium perborate paste is placed inside the tooth to break down stains from previous decay and giving the tooth a whiter color.
If you have a problem tooth that doesn't match the rest of your smile, internal bleaching could be the solution for you. Call us at 919-233-8830 today if you have any questions, and set up an appointment so that our doctor can determine whether you are a candidate for internal bleaching.
